Things to avoid in public speaking
1. Giving excuses! If you are tired, not well-prepared, etc., better to cancel it
2. Testing Microphones is not your job
3. Do not leave things for later. Your audience wants to hear it all NOW!
4. Do not use a small font in your presentations
5. Do not read! The more text you use, the more your audience will be distracted
6. Do not ask your audience to switch off their electronics. The responsibility is yours to grab their attention! But of course you can ask them to use the silent mode.
7. Do not answer a question unless you repeat it! The audience does not like listening to an answer for a question they don’t know about!
