This document compares the presentation styles of amateur versus professional trainers. Amateur trainers tend to have long, text-heavy slides that last over 45 minutes and lose audience attention. Professional trainers use techniques like stories, images, music and humor to keep their presentations between 45-50 minutes and focus on capturing audience attention. The professional trainer style is presented as more effective at engaging audiences.
