Face to Face or Screen to Screen. What's your preference?


Hey Public Speaker!

“Do you prefer in-person or virtual presentations?”

It’s a question that sparks a lot of debate among speakers, creators and leaders. Each format has its strengths—and its challenges.

In-person presentations allow for a powerful connection. You can feel the energy in the room, gauge audience reactions in real time, and adjust your delivery in real-time. But in-person presentations also demand additional preparation, a strong stage presence and the ability to command a live audience’s attention, and keep it, from the get-go.

Virtual presentations, on the other hand, expand your reach. You can connect with people from across the globe without leaving your desk. They offer flexibility and often allow for seamless integration of multimedia tools. But building connection through a screen? That’s a whole different skill set.

Whether you're the type who thrives on the buzz of a live audience or someone who loves the reach of the virtual stage, one thing remains true: the key to an impactful presentation lies in your ability to 'tell a story' and make your audience feel seen, heard and, yup! understood.

What about you?

Finding the Funny: And How I Found Mine.

Do you think you're a funny or a totally-not-funny type of speaker? Am I funny? Even though, people say that I'm funny, I used to think I wasn’t the “funny-type' of speaker.
