Three reminders from a presentation I gave on AI to a room of roughly 20 business owners today.
- Set expectations with the audience as early as possible. Under promise then over deliver.
- Do all you can to know the people who will be in the room. Adjust your presentation to call them out specifically.
- Pause during your riffs to read the room. If it’s going over their head, call out that you are observing that, make a final statement, and transition on. “If you want me to circle back to this more at the end, I can.” goes a long way.
Stay Positive & Go On And Prosper
