You knocked it out of the park with your presentation. You even received a standing ovation. But if you want to be invited back to speak, follow my mom’s advice: “Leave every place better than you found it.”
One of my clients in North Carolina actually hands a room-cleaning checklist to instructors who use their conference center and requests they review and initial each of the items after their classes.
- Computers set back to log-in screen setting
- White boards cleaned
- Used flip chart pages torn from pad and placed in recycle bin
- Trash removed from tables
- Trash cleared from the floor
- Projector turned OFF
- Student materials such as pens and extra books put away
While it may seem like overkill to some, attention to these details goes a long way toward creating a positive, memorable, and comfortable experience for those attending your presentation.
