Ugh I meant I'm IN the webinar. Wow maybe I'm super nervous.

Know your material inside and out.

Practice out loud.

Look at the other participants on the screen and don't look at yourself while speaking so you don't get distracted with judging yourself.

Know your worth and don't doubt yourself.

Everyone gets nervous. Use that energy instead of trying to suppress it.

Most importantly, if you mess up, move on. Don't dwell on it or it will derail the rest of your presentation. Everyone makes mistakes it's getting over it quickly and getting on track that is important.

Have fun. You've been asked for a reason- celebrate that!

The great thing about a webinar is that you're talking to the screen. Create a script of talking points, build in color cues and breaks that can help you pause or call out certain key takeaways. No one can see this script (as long as you're not screensharing that particular screen ☺️).

Don’t look at the screen, look above it. Tape your notes to the top of the screen if needed. Try to stand. I think it helps me be more animated and natural. Dance it out before you start and have champers ready for when you crush it. You’ll do great!

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?
