You know the signs.
- Fidgeting
- Glazed expressions
- Checking Blackberry or mobile devices
- Visible lack of interest
- Doodling
- Stretching
- Side conversations
- Leaving to get coffee
- Increased traffic in and out of the meeting room
When you see these signs as a presenter, it is time to give your audience a break. As a presenter, you should have your audience in mind before you ever begin speaking. This means you should design your content around breaks. Adults should typically be given a break every 90 minutes. Provide a break for young adults and teens every 50 minutes as this coincides with the length of typical high school and college classes.
