By  Corey Cook  ·  1 minute read Thank you to [Michael Mainelli](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAAGh-0BmFnPH7wXDyZrCSFSmoFdrtRMF4I) for inviting [Tony TAN](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAlnZnsBiMUdiWAXqmD_aLX3npNUlYkpzEc) and me to present a webinar entitled "Ethical Commitment: Cultural or Calculated" in June. This was interesting for a variety of reasons for me: 1. It was the first time I made a webinar presentation and was a new experience of not being able to see the audience; 2. It was the first time we had used cartoons in a presentation and the feedback is that it was effective; 3. At the suggestion of Michael, we used before and polls in the presentation to gauge what the audience views were at different points in the presentation to see if the audience views changed; 4. Michael grouped questions together which made for a more interesting discussion.
