What kind of presenter do I want to be?
When I present, usually I allow others to speak and have input in the topic in which I am discussing. Yes, it is important to be a guide to the goal I want to give to my observers, but I also want to be able to have an engaged audience so that I am energized to continued. Motivation, for me, comes from input. I want to be able to ask very open ended questions to a topic and let my audience sit back and reflect on a topic. I will lead a discussion so that the topic stays on track, but it is important to keep the audience involved. The type of presenter I DON'T want to be is a pure lecturer. I would be content in telling stories (if I have one to tell), but ultimately, a passive audience is a bored audience. Perhaps these features truly point to the obvious fact that I want to be a teacher.
