Are Colours Killing your Great Ideas?
When you step in front of an audience to deliver your presentation, you can never really tell how many audience members will be running into issues with what you’re presenting and how you’re presenting it.
One thing we must keep in mind as inclusive communicators is that it’s always 100% our responsibility to speak, teach and show up in the most accessible way possible. We may not have any control over the challenges that our audience members face, but we have absolute control over how we choose to share our messages with them.
The question you must always keep at the forefront is: “what can I do to make sure I truly connect with everyone in my audience, regardless of what disability they may have?”
You know your content inside and out. You’ve worked hard for years to craft your message into a finely honed object of beauty and clarity. You’re confident that your content is clear and unambiguous. It’s laser-focused. Self-explanatory. You’ve developed mind-blowing strategies to drive your ideas home in a cohesive and innovative way. Your ideas all logically fall into place and build into a powerful conclusion for your presentation. You’ve built a masterpiece that everyone can understand. Plus, it flows so well!
Or so you think.
