If I had only one tip to give, it would be to be passionate about your topic and let that enthusiasm come out.

Humans have short attention spans when it comes to passively sitting and listening to a speaker.

To advance your slides and builds, use a small, handheld remote. A handheld remote will allow you to move away from the podium.

Your presentation is for the benefit of the audience. But boring an audience with bullet point after bullet point is of little benefit to them.

sit down and really think about the day of your presentation. What is the real purpose of your talk? Why is it that you were asked to speak? What does the audience expect?

I usually use a legal pad and pen (or a whiteboard if there is enough space) to create a rough kind of storyboard.

f you want your audience to remember your content, then find a way to make it more relevant and memorable by strengthening your core message with good, short, stories or examples.

Good presentation techniques, and even classroom instruction methods, are as much art as science.

Our brains have two sides. The right side is emotional, musical and moody. The left side is focused on dexterity, facts and hard data. When you show up to give a presentation, people want to use both parts of their brain. So they use the right side to judge the way you talk, the way you dress and your body language. Often, people come to a conclusion about your presentation by the time you’re on the second slide. After that, it’s often too late for your bullet points to do you much good.
