How to recover during a presentation…

Ever find yourself going off the rails, down a rabbit hole, or veering WAY off-topic during a meeting or presentation?

I did.

And my audience knew it.

So...I used a tip from my stage tool kit for confidence and clarity:

1.) Take a breath (more oxygen to your brain allows for clearer thinking)

2.) Refer back to the one-sentence synopsis you delivered at the very top of the meeting on why you are all in the (virtual) room in the first place--hold yourself accountable for owning and leading the room

3.) Be authentic-everyone makes mistakes-it's how you recover that your audience will remember
