Confessions of a horrified audience

Hi! I am your audience

I chose to attend your
presentation despite all my
pending work…

I hope you have spent
enough time to prepare
your presentation

Do not make me wait
till there is enough crowd…

Start and finish your
presentation on time

I like surprise climax
only in detective novels…

In your presentation, I expect
an agenda and the session
duration

I am not a kid to sit
and listen to your
lecture…

Involve me

We are equally intelligent and
responsible…

So, do not talk down
…or beg

I am not a psychic to
read your mind…

Tell me what I should do and why

I know you are not a walking
encyclopedia…

So, when you don’t know something…
don’t hide behind jargon
$””&** is
nothing
but ##%%

You may be a whiz with Excel …

But, tell me what should I
be looking at in your
graphs

I do not get excited by statistics…

…till you tell me your source and
the reasoning

I do not always carry my telescope…

So, make the fonts large
enough for me to read

Your voice may sound irresistible
when you talk in a husky whisper…
Pss pss
pss

But, I can not hear you
clearly from the last row

I can completely understand your
excitement in the subject…

But, stop making those
distracting gestures

I know you love your slides…

But, when you talk to
your slides and not
me, I feel offended

I have not installed a recording
machine inside my head yet…

So, summarize
periodically

You may feel comfortable pushing all
my questions towards the end…
??????????

But, I cannot follow your logic
when I am stuck
Clarify my doubts
instantly

I appreciate your big bang ending…

But, what are the next steps?

Finally, when I clap
at the end…

I should leave with the
satisfaction of getting
enough value for my time

Will you fulfill my
wishes?
Will you fulfill my
wishes?
