Don’t do this. Just don’t.
Not only do you look dopey in person, you look permanently dopey on video.
This was a pretty good talk, but look. This is the equivalent of having spinach in your teeth and not knowing it. So this will never be a high-value video.
Before you take the stage, take off your stupid badge!
Next in the series: #11: Introducing ourselves (workshop begins!)
Our good friend Paul Levy taught me this tip – luckily before I went up on stage.
Yeah, well, *I* know it, too. And I usually do. But I forget.
As the video will show (to be released in September), this talk was assembled on the fly during the day (intentionally – it was an on-the-fly summary of the day’s events,69 slides in 35 minutes!) But a pro should still handle the necessary details proficiently. That’s what makes ’em a pro! :-)
