			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the biggest problems with presenting online is a failure to adapt to the medium.  Over and over I see experienced presenters, whether public speaking pros or senior corporate execs, deliver LAME online presentations because they either don’t see it or they fail to heed it.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s the passion behind this blog.</p>
<p>Of the <em>many</em> examples:</p>
<ul>
<li>Offline you read the room by watching and eye contact, online you read the room by looking at tools.</li>
<li>Offline if you use bullet points, people sleep in their chairs.  Online they log out.</li>
<li>Offline you&#8217;re taught to use very few slides.  Online you&#8217;re dead if you don&#8217;t use a lot of slides (don&#8217;t choke ~ call me or stay tuned, I&#8217;ll explain).</li>
<li>Offline the corporate .ppt pros remember take the room into consideration.  But the corporate .ppt pros forget to take the online &#8220;room&#8221; into consideration.</li>
<li>Offline .ppt builds work great.  Online they should be used sparingly (and there are other ways to achieve the same effect).</li>
</ul>
<p>You get the idea.  And if I have anything to do with it, you&#8217;ll become a rock star.</p>
<p><strong>The medium changes the game.  Don&#8217;t suck.  Embrace the medium.</strong></p>
