I hate presenting. It is funny, people would think I would not mind as I have enough exp, but it always anxiety producing for me unless I know the material cold and it’s very difficult to do that. I just found out about teleprompter software that you can overlay on your Zoom hasn’t delivered done that? I was thinking about trying it.

that sounds really cool! i usually hack it with my notes app beside my Teams window...i never really read word for word but i improvise based on the key points/phrases i bold. but that tool sounds much easier. i would just give yourself ample time to practice on internal calls so you're comfortable with how it works. and...i also get anxiety presenting especially when calls are packed with lots of people, you're definitely not alone in that regard 💕

I’m going to be try it out this week. I will let you know if it works.

The only time i've used a prompter was when I had to give our board an update. I was told to be concise and short but had to provide a lot of data. That worked really well for me, but I knew no one was going to interrupt and I had to share a lot of information in a short time.

I echo CD for all other times I have a word doc open on my other screen or I scribble my talking points on paper. Prompter might trip you up more if you have to speak off the cuff.

yeah, you’re right about the off the cuff thing - I’m gonna practice and see if I can get it working

Whoa I would love something like that tbh lol. I hate presenting so much

Let me check the name. I will get back to you tomorrow. I’ll also report back if it works.
