Has WFH Killed Presenter Professionalism?
I saw a tweet that was later removed by the author, so I won’t attribute it out of respect for their wishes. But I thought the concept expressed was provocative and want to explore it. Paraphrasing rather liberally, it went along these lines… The pandemic made working from home standard procedur...
Thanks for the extra info, Dave! I appreciate that life is difficult for the vendors as well to make sure their system-generated emails don't end up on spam blocker lists. The bad guys have made life hell for all good-intentioned people out there.

Who Do Your Webinar Emails Come From?
What can you do to make sure your webinar communications have the best chance of breaking through email overload and clutter these days? You work on crafting pithy, concise, and informative subject lines. You’re careful about writing persuasive body text. But there may be another overlooked fact...

Hi Nora,
I can't give you legal advice on this. My personal recommendation would be to avoid the kinds of things you pointed out. Your standing as an educational non-profit does not influence your liability in a potential copyright suit. And since you are charging people to attend, using somebody else's commercial creations without them getting any compensation feels like it wouldn't help your case if a complaint was ever lodged against you.
But my final advice is always this: If you are concerned about potential legal liability, consult a real lawyer. Opinions from laymen like me are a dime a dozen! :)
Wishing you all the best with your course creation.
--Ken

Copyrights And Fair Use In Presentations
Fasten your seatbelts, gang, for we are about to delve into a topic so confusing, so contentious, and so inconclusive that almost nobody dares bring it up for discussion. This is likely to be a long post, so find some time when you can settle in and study. Take a deep breath and consider this qu...
Are We Asking Too Much Of Video Presenters?

Pop Culture References In Presentations–Where’s The Beef?
Today I saw a tweet from a presentation trainer whom I know and respect. They wrote that in a training call, they used an analogy referencing a 1980s Sally Struthers ad campaign about feeding children. It landed flat, leaving the audience bewildered. Last night on the Oscars, quite a bit of atte...

Could ON24 Be Next?
Come, let’s engage in a little blue sky speculation. This is going to be one of my infrequent posts talking about financial considerations, so disclaimers are important: I have ZERO insider information or informants providing any facts or rumors that... Continue reading

Is It Worth Having Your Presenters On Camera?
It’s time once again to revisit a controversial topic. Is the conventional wisdom about webcam presentations correct? Does having the presenters appear on camera enhance the experience? Whenever I write about this, I have to couch the subject in disclaimers. People get passionate about the subje...
Ha! I did, but with a LOT of caveats and almost as much explanation as I put in this post. A man telling a woman how to speak is fraught with generations worth of baggage.

Is Presenter Training Biased Against Females?
I am an old, white, cisgender male. A product of my culture, my upbringing, and my practical work/life experiences. Why start with an introduction like that? Because I am going to delve into a controversial topic and my identity is naturally going to color the way I think about it. I just finish...
