It's always interesting to see how a speaker reacts to technical problems.
When the projector goes down, or the laptop isn't booting up, watch the speaker. If he's good, it's no big deal at all to him. If he isn't, he'll probably be a mess.
The powerpoint isn't the presentation. Just a small part of it. I mainly reserve mine for funny pictures and bullet points.
- tomjen3 16y agoThat's over simplifying a bit. Even if you are good enough that you are giving Ted talks on a regular basis, and if you are thank you, you still want to look as good as possible in front of the client, so you would still want to be able to do a demo, and that often requires a demo. But, a good speaker will not let the audience see that he is nervous. Or that things are not going as he hope for. Confidence, even if based on no external reason, inspire far more confidence than does nervousness, however unjustified, and you have to win over the audience before they will listen to you.
