Death by Presentation: Don't murder your audience!

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Arrive early so you can welcome folks. I like to engage them in the room before the session starts and get conversation moving if I can. It can also give you a feel for the people in the room. It also give you a chance to interact with them and show you’re a real human being before things get underway.
