The biggest item that separates mediocre presenters from world class ones is the ability to connect with an audience in an honest and exciting way

mgoodwin5 on 20 Apr 15I think this is why it is important to use personal experiences to be able to connect with your audience. As I am presenting to my classes, I use at least one or two examples pertaining to their lives that may help them to connect with the information. Sometimes it helps and other times the students may not understand due to the fact that they have not had the exposure of the specific topic. Asking them questions afterwards and having another student give an example usual is where the discussion leads. I fell connection is an important key of successful presentations.

The presenter can give more information as a one-on-one basis after the presentation if someone in the audience has questions or would like a clarification, for example. By presenting the most important information, the audience will receive the best presentation. The presenter can also hand out note pages after the presentation for the audience to have the "extras" if they have not written anything down or it may help answer questions. Keeping the presentation interesting, straight to the point, and then done, is a presentation done well.

Get closer to your audience by moving away from or in front of the podium

This is difficult to do if you do not have a remote and you have to continuously change the slides to the next one. I remember one of my instructors in college tell the class that we should not stay in one spot at the front of the room, then she made us practice it. Realize you can move, which is important for the class and the teacher. If you stay in one spot, it looks as though you are glued to the floor, which obviously you are not.

Always remember that the people in your audience get to determine whether your idea spreads or dies. You need them more than they need you. So be humble in your approach. Their desires and goals — and their frustrations and anxieties — should shape everything you present.

I've never thought as much about this idea until this class, but it really is the audience who is the most important. Regardless of why someone is presenting, the audience will chose if they are interested or not. Their reaction is important to you as you may need to improve your delivery or what you deliver in order to gain their attention. I like the statement of your audience determines whether your idea "spreads or dies". That definitely puts it into perspective to make you think.
