If I have to do a training without a preparation time,  I do the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-Create a brief overview presentation on the topic&lt;br /&gt;
-Come up with a good set of inquiry questions&lt;br /&gt;
-Come up with a small group activity or facilitate a large group discussion on the topic&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most of the time, the people I&amp;#39;m training already know a lot about the topic (except for some maybe highly technical trainings) and sharing that knowledge with each other is really effective.&lt;br /&gt;
