Public Speaking For Geeks: Work from Home Edition!Lorenzo Barbieri
Speaking in public is not easy, especially for geeks, that tend to be too technical, or too shy, or too something...
Speaking in public REMOTELY is even worse.
In this session, we'll start with some basic tips, and we'll see how to dramatically improve our results using well-defined techniques.
Public speaking skills are not useful to conference speakers only, and everybody needs to improve them, especially geeks working from home!
These are the slides of the presentation that I did at "FuffaDay 2018" (http://www.fuffaday.org) about avoiding the ten typical mistakes that a presenter typically does. I've added a slide near the end :-)
Google.fr has dominated the search results in France, perhaps rightly so it has redirected English queries to French pages. However this is not good news for English teachers

Great presentations mean less, not more. Make 'em simple and easy to read, and DON'T TREAT YOUR PRESENTATION AS YOUR SCRIPT.
Great presentations aren't made to be read.

22. Code of Conduct, Diversity & Inclusion
•Is there a Code of Conduct (CoC)?
• If not, WHY NOT?
• Is there a way for people to report CoC violations?
• Microsoft has a standard CoC for their events
The speakers’ list is diverse enough?
• Offer to help them with diversity and to find speakers if they cannot.
• Have they done everything to ensure a diverse speakers’ list?
• Find a way to talk about diversity and inclusion in your presentation
•Are you using an inclusive language?
• He/she or singular they, boy/girl/person, etc.
• If something seems contronversial, do the Dry Run
