Overall Goal: To provide Advocates with the knowledge, skills, resources and support necessary to best present the educational workshops on breast cancer and the environment

By the end of this session, the Advocates will be able to: Recognize that adults have different learning styles Recognize that attendees have different communication styles Recognize their role as a communicator and educator - --- --- - - - ---

+Your Role as Facilitator Be confident and competent with the information you are providing to the group Be trustworthy Be empathic Give all a chance to speak "Actively Listen" to what the group is saying Remain unbiased

+Your Role as a Facilitator Provide facts and information that are relevant Discuss some of the social and cultural beliefs, values, and experiences that affect participants' views and behaviors Remind participants why the issue is so important for different cultural groups Respond to the group's needs Demonstrate understanding and respect for the participant's views. Help participants identify effective ways to deal with their own concerns and their ability to change their behaviors .

+ Communication Guidelines Help participants identify any concerns they might have about the topics in each of the workshops Provide facts and information that is relevant Try to stay on topic while being respectf ul of the needs of the participants Share you own experiences, if relevant Share how you have dealt with the issue Help participants identify effective ways to deal with their own concerns

. Discuss evidence or statistics that are specific to the topic and relevant for the group Discuss some of the social and cultural beliefs, values, and . experiences Remind why the issue is so important for the cultural group Respond to the group's needs and concerns

Neutrality and Tact Be friendly, but not over the top Remain objective to the topics Remember that everyone's opinion is important Be on the job Be prepared before starting Stay focused Voice Quality Speak clearly and make sure everyone can hear you Concentration Listen to what participants are saying to you Enthusiasm Important to be and sound truly interested in the topic

+ The Expert •May inhibit others •Try to underscore the fact that everyone in the room is an expert •Remind them that all perceptions need to be expressed • May need to repeat this a number of times

+ Dominant Talkers •Also may consider themselves to be experts •Yet they often aren't aware of how they are perceived by others •Thank you John -Are there others who want to comment on the questions? •That 's one point of view.... •Nonverbal: avoid eye contact •Important to be tactful and kind!

+ Shy Participants •Similar to reflective thinkers • Often have great insights •Extra effort needed to draw them out and have them elaborate their views •Maximize eye contact; encouraging them to speak •Can call on them by name

+ Ramblers •They like to talk •Yet, can eat up time •Discontinue eye contact • Can take forever to get to the point •Interject when they pause and move on *

+ Principles for Communication with Audience •Recognize the principles of adult learning •Adults are internally motivated and self-directed •Adults bring life experiences and knowledge to learning experiences •Adults are goal oriented •Adults are relevancy oriented •Adults are practical •Adult learners like to be respected

+ . Addressing Participant Concerns Clarify -When a participant shares a concern, don't assume that you understand exactly what he or she means. Ask questions in order to clarify or be clear about what the participant feels or thinks Inform - Give facts that are relevant to the participants concerns Plan -When needed, work with participants to develop ways to deal with their concerns

+ Facts vs.Opinions •How can you deal with a participant who questions "the facts?" Acknowledge their opinion Let them know that others have expressed similar beliefs •Ensure the group that what you are telling them is based on scientific research that we know at this time. •Know your facts and provide evidence-bas ed information •Find answers if you are not sure about a question (We can help you find the answers!) Never guess at the answer It's ok to not know! •Support the project 's. reputation by providing accurate information

+ Each One Teach One

+ Points to Remember Be Professional. Be prepared by focusing on the work at hand, having your materials ready, setting aside enough time, and making sure that you have privacy. Be Expressive. Don't speak too fast or too loud and try to change the tone of your voice to add emphasis to what you say. Be Distinct. Pronounce your words clearly and carefully. Be Alert . Be cheerful and wide-awake, and listen. This sets the tone of any conversation and shows you are listening. Be Natural. Use simple language. Avoid technical terms when answering a participant's questions. Be Pleasant. Show that you are int rested. Be Courteous. Good habits are good manners
