Brain Fog on Camera? A Better Way to Respond When a Speaker Freezes.
A brain fog on camera? Ouch. At a recent startup pitch show, two presenters stepped up to pitch their product. Strong opening. Smooth transition. Everything was flowing until one of them suddenly froze mid-sentence. What happened next is what caught my attention. Instead of jumping in to finish his thought (the usual move), his co-presenter did something different. She paused, reassured him, and gave him the space to recover. Even on camera, that was a smart call. Because ste
