(Influence Directly)

The Premise, Problem/Solution, Pay Off
format as taught by Bill Gove.  Using it an
explainer offers a personal point of view,
not as an absolute to be adopted without
thinking, but for thoughtful consideration.

Instruction

(Inform Directly)

 The basic teaching model [Learning Goal,
Moving from Known to Unknown, Assess]
As each audience brings a wide ranging
knowledge to the room, instruction seems
better as a clarification of understanding.

Story

(Influence Indirectly)

 I prefer the Hero's Adventure model
[The Call, The Adventure, Hero's Return]
popularized by Joseph Campbell.  It is
representative of many life challenges.
It often the the key to a signature story.

Activity

(Inform Indirectly

Learn by doing [Set a Goal, Group Work,
Report and Discuss Findings] may have
started with the first tool makers.  While
it seems easy, facilitation is a challenge,
and too seldom developed by speakers.
