Staging

Jeff is 6’3″, easily seen at distances, and for 120 people or less prefers to work without a podium (a raised platform) or a lectern (a reader stand), but will adapt as needed.

Microphone

Jeff prefers to speak with his hands free and to use a wireless lavaliere microphone, but will adapt as needed.

Visual Aids

Jeff often uses a few Powerpoint slides and needs a house projector and screen, along with a table at least 3″ by 6″ up front.

Introduction

Jeff will bring an extra copy of his introduction besides the one he submits in advance. Please select an introducer who will rehearse itread it verbatim, and not ad-lib! A good intro can arouse the audience, help the speaker, and add to a great meeting! Please send the name, address, and phone number of Jeff’s introducer.
