At M Communications and M Com Publishing, we attend our fair share of luncheons. Normally, the bad speakers are accompanied by overcooked chicken – and needless to say, I am a little picky now about where I lunch and learn. Today got me thinking … speaking topics not to assign your speaker during the lunchtime hour. Here are my top 2:
1. Anything to do with what you are eating, how it is bad for you and what it is doing to your digestive system right this minute. Can you say appetite killer?
2. Anything to do with medical or health issues. This presentation is usually accompanied by a grotesque slide show presentation which results in people excusing themselves to go to the bathroom.
My point? If you gross out your audience do not expect some super networking opportunities for the speaker or others afterwards.
