I am a scanner, it seems to feel safer when I'm presenting. However, it makes good sense to look at individuals to increase connection and attention.

I like this idea of empathizing.  Stepping to the "other side", the audiences side, to see/feel/think what they may.  This allows us to work through any challenging differing points of view prior to our presentation.

Agreed.  This is very annoying to me.  I can read.  Engage me with something that is not on the slide.  I can say this is one thing I feel pretty comfortable with in my own presentations.  I glance at my slides for reminders or to jog memory, but try never to read them.

Guilty.  I'm looking forward to working through my various presentations replacing my plethora of cartoon graphics with emotion-provoking photographs.

I found this interesting.  I often wish I could just take the power point handout and be on my way since many times the presenter just reads the slides to the audience.  I can read.

This is where I falter.  It's hard to simplify information to just one or two words, even though it is often more effective.  I will be working on this.

Good to know.  I always thought this helped keep the interest of my audience.  I guess the interest would be on the transition and not on what I'm trying to get them to learn.

This gets to the root of making information stick.  We must appeal to emotion.  

This is a key point I think presenters, including myself, often forget.
