SINCERITY COUNTS

Messages delivered by presenters should be from the heart. Avoid (debates excepted) speaking on issues you have no belief in. Avoid being a hypocritical presenter or a pyrrhic speaker.

When speaking, use POWERPOINT and props to support your speech. Don’t read verbatim from PowerPoint. KNOW your subject in case the power-point goes on the blink. Have a fallback position.

If an AUDIENCE MEMBER, thank presenters if you genuinely believe them to have delivered a quality message. Presenters value appreciation and, with that, constructive, skill-honing advice.
