  • We need more than data!
    Aug 30 2023

    Welcome to Episode 2 of the mindful presenter's greatness guide

    I have a thought I'd like to share with you.

    Today, we often find presenters putting the data up on a screen and either reading it out loud to their audience or making them read it for themselve whilst we are speaking over it.

    Our audience need's more - much more
