Ten Things an ITU Facilitator Should Be.....
1.Be Enthusiastic!
If you demonstrate real enthusiasm for the content of the ITU course that you are delivering, the participants will be twice as enthused. If you demonstrate a lack of enthusiasm for the course and its content, the participants will be turned off and will not become the enthusiastic triathlon coaches and technical officials we want them to be.
2.Be an Elephant!
Elephants have big ears, great for listening with. Listen to what the participants on your course are saying and you will find that they will also be listening to you.
Elephants have small mouths. A good facilitator should speak only about 10% of the time when they are facilitating. When a question is asked, why not throw it back to the audience to get everyone involved. A good facilitator stimulates discussion and doesn’t always need to have a right or wrong answer.
3.Be a Role Model!
Participants on ITU courses see you as an expert in your field. They will follow what you do even more than what you say. Make sure you demonstrate best practice during the course.
4.Be Neutral!
Don’t impose your way, or your values, on the participants. As an international facilitator you will be working with people from different cultural backgrounds. Allow participants to share their ideas and values without judging them.
5.Be Prepared!
Arrive at your ITU course fully prepared. This includes gathering all materials that you could possibly need, reviewing the curriculum, and finding out answers to any questions you weren’t able to answer from previous courses. Remember, that you will be working in different settings, if you are using a high tech method of presenting, make sure you have a low tech contingency.
6.Be in Constant Eye Contact with All Participants!
Ensure eye contact from all the participants. If the participants are looking at you, they are listening. If they are looking somewhere else, they are not listening. If you are outside, make sure the sun is at the participants’ backs and in your eyes. It helps to be at eye-level with the participants, so if they are sitting, sit with them. If they are running around, run with them.
7.Be Honest!
Answer all questions as honestly as possible. If you don’t know the answer to a question, just say you don’t know, but will do everything possible to find out.
8.Be on the Same Level as the Participants!
Create a relaxed environment, use some humour, get them to smile, even laugh. Speak at the same level as the participants. Do not use terms that they will not understand. If they do not English as a first language, use the local language, or use a translator. Always be aware of who your audience is. Get some background on them before travelling to the course.
9.Be Consistent!
It is always easy to focus on the best participants. Make sure you involve all course participants. Even if you have to give them very easy tasks or questions to answer, make sure you get everyone involved.
10.Be Gender-Sensitive!
Triathlon prides itself in being a gender equal sport. Make sure you reflect this when facilitating courses by making sure men and women attending your course receive equal attention and are treated as equals.
