Deliver Better Technical Presentations - Challenges Faced by Technical Speakers
summary
Revisits a failed 20-minute ACCU slot inside a 90-minute session, deliberately reproduces earlier errors (slides out of order, train-time edits) then fixes them live using presenter view and a clicker; supplies two posters and a leaflet (high‑res PDFs linked) and times a 20‑minute run with a green‑team timekeeper. Shows specific tactics—pause, simplify slides, storyboard checkpoints—and that the repaired run lands better, sparks audience questions, and proves that deliberately embrace mistakes within psychological safety speeds skill growth.
