The September-October 2022 issue of Speaker magazine contains an interesting article by Traci Brown on pages 26 to 29 titled WWYD? (What Would You Do) and subtitled Things You Didn’t Know You Should Know Just in Case. It discusses the following situations:
Handling an audience emergency [seizure]
What if the situation is a little less dire? [noisy false fire alarm]
But what if it had been worse? [real threat like active shooter]
But what if it’s even worse than that? [9/11 attacks, etc.]
Like I was saying [hotel orders evacuation because of hurricane]
And then there are just some ideas so you’re smarter than the average bear
On November 6, 2019 I has blogged about previous articles in Toastmaster and Speaker magazines in a post titled Excellent advice on how to deal with a distraction or emergency during your speech.
