Tried to comment on the bloggerâs site but as is the norm these days they had a caption requirement and as is also the norm these days there was no audio caption thus making it non-accessible for screen reader users.
So you can pass this along.
First, I thought this was a well-written post.
Next, Something to add is thisâ¦
When Iâm scheduling someone for guest speaking thereâs nothing that screams fake more than references that cannot be verified.
Email addresses that no longer work, companies that have gone out of business and websites that do not work are a dead give-away that the person youâre trying to have speak at an event for you or an organization youâre promoting is a great big NO!
