Did you make a resolution to be a better presenter this year? Excellent! We can help with quick ideas to refresh your style and energize your delivery.
1. Begin your presentation without a slide. This fosters a conversational atmosphere, focuses audience attention on your story and allows you to create a stronger opening.
2. Ask more rhetorical questions, when your audience is not likely to be interactive. As a coach, I might say, “Think about it. Why is it so important to rehearse 4 times?”
3. Make gestures bigger to appear more confident. Bring them up at your sides and out toward the audience. Done gesturing? Bring both arms down…back to ground zero.
4. Change lengthy stories to tweets. Give examples, tell stories and offer analogies that take only 30 seconds to deliver. That makes you a hero to the audience.
