Seen any 'lectern wrenchers' recently?

Below are some don'ts or do's for anyone prone to lectern wrenching.

Feel free to share with others who may find it useful -and they don't have to be working or living at or near to Canary Wharf.


Don’ts
Don’t press your palms on the lectern or gripping the edge of the lectern.

Don’t become glued to the lectern
Don’t slough your upper body over the lectern –it’s not a body rest.


Do’s
Do stand upright behind the lectern and maintain eye contact with all sections of your listeners.

If using a microphone fixed to the lectern, maintain a suitable distance between your face and the mic. Too close will muffle your words, too far will reduce your audibility.
