Is Your Podium Ruining Your Efforts?
Urbann's co-founder Louis Desrosiers shares its views for church leaders in a recent editorial published in the December issue of Religious Product News, based in the US.
Sharing the knowledge
"I was a bit surprised when they approached us at first. Then I thought that this was an occasion to gather all the knowledge we accumulated over the years when designing lecterns and podiums. Having a chance to share this knowledge and advices was something very close to my heart. I realized that this was exactly the kind of customer service we aim to bring to our customers. So I jumped right into it".
"The podium is the vase, The speaker is the bouquet, The words are the flowers."

About Religious Product News
Religious Product News provides the latest information and resources about products, furnishings, building supplies, technology, media and more for today’s growing churches. Developed with a non-denominational view, this monthly publication introduces church leaders and pastors to new products that are helping churches grow in membership, energize their worship experiences, and initiate new Christian ministries.
Louis Desrosiers raises an interesting point about how a podium can unintentionally become a barrier rather than a bridge. In many churches, the physical setup shapes how visible and approachable a speaker feels, and it's easy to overlook how much that affects communication. For leaders who want to rethink visual presentation, simple tools can help. If you're preparing slides or social posts with multiple images, an image grid tool can split a photo into equal rows and columns and export each tile or a ZIP. It's a small, practical option worth considering alongside the editorial's broader advice.
