Podium vs. Lectern

As speakers we are known for constantly moving around the stage or the rooms we "perform" in. We feel our movement allows us to engage audiences. We don't like to be confined to a small area.

We are often asked by the groups that contract us if we would like podium during our speeches and presentations. We politely respond no. The funny thing is, asking us if we would like use a podium is a common misunderstanding of the word. Many people think the word podium refers to what a lectern really is.

Click the link below to learn what a podium really is. We like to sharing fun facts and information with people with our blogs and our shows. We also like to make sure things are clearly communicated so "issues" don't arise. The next time someone asks you to give a speech and asks if you would like a podium, be sure they know what a podium is. You may expect one thing while they give you something you were no expecting.

Enjoy,
