HIGHLIGHTS:
1. READING SLIDES:
- Reading slides aloud makes your words lose novelty, which directly works against your attempts to keep your presentation lively and interesting for your audience members.
2. VULNERABILITY IS AUTHENTIC:
- People are incredibility receptive to vulnerability, especially if it connects with your topic on an emotional level.
3. CLEAR POINTS:
- Taking the time to slow down and clearly articulate your points, will not only create a calming space for you as a presenter, but it also reads as more trustworthy and educated to the audience.
4. PRACTICE:
- Six to nine months during which they’re expected to practice, practice, and then practice some more.
- From there they’re asked to have a final practiced version a month from the event.
5. SILENCE:
- Learn to be comfortable with incorporating a little bit of silence, as confident speakers use pauses very effectively for their own purposes.
6. EXAMPLES:
- Try giving concrete examples of small changes that your audience can enact almost immediately.
- Distill the message down to its essence.
7. ACCENTUATE POINT:
- Your slides should only serve to accentuate your point.
8. DOMINANT MISSION:
- Establish what your dominant mission is for doing this talk.
- Establishing what your goal and focus are, can really help you streamline your energy, and better connect with the audience.
9. CONFIDENTLY:
- Ultimately your speech will succeed or fail based on your words, your story, and the substance behind your presentation, but it never hurts to deliver it all confidently.
10. PEAKS & VALLEYS:
- You want to make sure that your presentation works in a series of peaks and valleys to draw your audience in, and build a rapport.
