Find the distractions #1: What's wrong here?
To create an effective meeting a few things need to change. Can you identify distractions that will cause problems? Comment below.
As I attend many meetings and do meeting audits, I take pictures and video to help meeting planners and managers identify the “Event Eroders” and potential threats to effective meetings. Answers will be posted later.

Here are my picks:
* Room is too dark or there needs to be a light on the speaker
* Presenter is off to the side and not on a platform
* Power cord in the middle of the aisle
* Side door open emitting light into the room
* Audience is spread out
* Too much seating for audience size
* Whether theater seating is appropriate depends on the audience interaction the speaker is hoping for
Looking forward to seeing your list.
