R Black out

Many speakers have experienced a black out to some extent. Some strategies to fight black out:

- stop and admit you have a black out. Pause. Then think back to the point you discussed before the black out and start again from there. If that does not work:

- look at material that you have; cue-cards, transparencies, notes. If that does not work:

- ask the audience where you were. If that does not work:

- skip the point you were going to discuss and continue with the next point. If that does not work:

- make a joke (which you prepared in advance). For example: "if you don't know what's happening, don't worry. Neither do I"
