Top 10 Speaker Faux Pas to Avoid

In Lisa Braithwaite's recent blog post, Lisa highlight a few "no nos" for speakers. I've incorporated her list into my "Top 10 Speaker Faux Pas to Avoid":

1. Fidget

2. Reveal You Made a Mistake

3. Read the Slides

4. Deliver in Monotone

5. Mumble

6. "Like...like....um..um..like...um....."

7. Go Over Your Alloted Time

8. Lack Energy

9. Stare Off Into Space

10. Keep The Bluetooth IN Your Ear!

Thanks for the link to my post, Jaime! I love #9: "stare off into space." I get a pretty funny mental image, picturing a speaker doing that.

#10 should be "keep the bluetooth IN your ear," right? Since that's the faux pas? I hope I never see that again. :-)
