How to do awesome remote presentations
Amongst many other changes, lockdown has accelerated the gradual shift to remote presenting. And now that the bottle has been uncorked, it’s not going back in any time soon. This will still be part of our lives long after the world puts down its masks and learns to shake hands again.
Over the last few months I’ve been experimenting, researching, discussing and teaching how to do remote presentations. I’ve taught teams in the UK, USA, India, Canada and all across Europe. And I’ve been testing and refining my techniques in my own online talks.
I’d like to share what I’ve learned with you to help you stand out and deliver your message more powerfully.
