I can’t even believe I am spending blog time on this topic. But yes, I was recently at a presentation where the speaker was chewing gum. A good time to review, for anyone who doesn’t know why this is so unappealing, basic etiquette.
When you the presenter chew gum, you are less likely to be effective with your vocal behavior. You lower your chances of being viewed as a top-notch professional in your area of expertise. You show disrespect for your audience.
Enough said? I’m open to a good counter-argument here, but I doubt I’ll get one.
