About this title

Synopsis

Professional development shouldn’t feel like a root canal — for you or your participants.

If you've ever found yourself:

• Wrestling with imposter syndrome before a big PD session

• Presenting in a freezing room with no chairs or working tech

• Co-leading with someone whose style definitely doesn't match yours

• Trying to engage side-talking participants or silence the awkward silences

...you are not alone -- and this book is for you.

The Presenter Survival Guide is your go-to field manual for navigating the unpredictable, messy, and occasionally hilarious world of presenting to educators. Unlike traditional PD books that gloss over the real-life chaos, this guide embraces it—and gives you the tools to lead anyway.

Inside, you'll find:

• 30 common coaching and presenting challenges, from tricky co-presenters to resistant participants

• Multiple plans of action for each challenge — because there’s never just one right answer

• Flexible strategies you can adapt to any setting, audience, or curveball

• Templates, time-savers, and workarounds that save your sanity

• Encouragement, humor, and zero judgment

This isn’t a book you read cover to cover. It’s one you toss in your bag, flag with sticky notes, and crack open the night before a session (or five minutes before go-time).

📘 Whether you’re an instructional coach, teacher leader, PD facilitator, or school administrator, The Presenter Survival Guide will help you lead professional learning your colleagues will actually thank you for.
