The Delivery
#RTWebinar
Don’t read the slides. Seriously. Sure, I know you think you’re reinforcing the message when
you do, but it’s kind of insulting to the audience. Do you think they can’t read? Speak to the
slide, don’t just read it. As presenter, you should add some value to what’s on the slide.
