Most audio/presentations I listen to I have to set the speed to 1.5x to make it bearable. This one I did not. For me, the tempo was perfect. The non-traditional slides also forced me to think about the content more. I appreciated not having to read slides — I often struggle with reading and listening at the same time. And often times to only have the presenter read the slides to me (ugh!). I’ve been viewing a lot of poor presentations lately but this wasn’t one of them. My feedback would be to drop the verbal tics (there weren’t many) and leave dead air to let the room breath (very hard to do I know!). This mental pause may also help others weather the tempo.
