Skill-by-skill analysis
The eight skills listed below were selected during the questionnaire design phase, based on
analysis of the CHRC Presenter’s Chart of Competencies. They were chosen to represent a
cross-section of essential presenter skills. For each, these aspects are addressed:
• Awareness of existing training offered for that skill
• Description of any such existing training offered
• Presenter’s understanding of how the skill is acquired at present
• Presenter’s expectations of how this skill could be acquired or taught in future
Assess the quality of a performance
Presenters are unaware of any courses available to develop the skill of assessing artistic
performance. They generally do not feel this is a classroom skill taught either by formal channels
(e.g., college, university) or informal ones (e.g., conferences, workshops, institutes).
This skill is acquired through experience, and presenters currently develop it through on-the-job
training and peer networking. Presenters feel that it develops over time and with exposure, but is
nonetheless indispensable. It is often developed through experimentation or trial and error.
Acquiring this skill can be especially difficult if the presenter does not come into the profession
with a strong artistic background.
