The purpose of a lectern is to hold your notes. Many people prefer to hide behind the lectern. When you must use a lectern or podium:
Be sure to organize your notes so you can easily reference them.
Begin and end your presentation by stepping out or to the side of the lectern.
Bring your hands up high so that the audience can see your gestures.
Project your energy so that the lectern is not a barrier.
