I know. Quite some of you prefer to have it all spelled out. Others (like me) prefer to talk freely, with just a few bullet points in the speaker notes. That takes experience (not talent!) to do. But it is so worth it. It allows you to react immediately to the (unconscious) feedback of your audience. It makes for better presentations. It's never about the slides. It's not about a perfect text you've prepared. It's about you. The audience wants to know who you are and why you care!

My preferred way to reach people beyond those in the room isn't to send them the slide deck, but to turn the presentation into a blog post or a white paper (or both). As these are different target audiences, it doesn't always work to just take the speaker notes and copy paste them into a blog post. It needs more work. That's just the way it is :) But that's just me. Take from this short thread what works for you and ignore the parts that don't :) We are all different :) 3/3
