Everyone needs #PresentationCoachRay
Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo is looking at a video monitor to her right while the guest is in a box on the right, looking at herself on a monitor down and to her left.
Neither of them are looking at us, the millions of people watching the experts. See how silly this looks.
3 million people were watching this interview. Did they feel included?
This happens in virtual meetings as well.
In one COVID 19 report to the nation, 4 smart guys spent hours testifying virtually while looking at each other’s video image and not at us or the Congress.

No college, university, or graduate school teaches how to communicate this way. It just isn’t natural to stare at a spot above your computer for hours at a time as you hope to engage attendees or TV viewers.
You are on stage
Everyone needs #PresentationCoachRay
I have been coaching presenters for 30+ years for live, on stage corporate presentations. They were not trained for that either but with my coaching most of them have gone on to wonderful careers, in part because of their ability to hold an audience.
