Extra details

I regularly show, promote, or participate in dozens of zoom conference calls every month to 1 to 50 people. Usually I will introduce our policy goals and plans. I want to improve my presentation skills and stop reading slide notes and my guiding skills, especially when the agenda does not go according to plan.
