Tip #9: Improve your Training, Speaking, and Presenting
I recently attended a dinner meeting of a professional association and listened to our guest speaker who was charming and had many fabulous ideas. The speech was well organized and jam-packed with ideas and suggestions.
The pacing of the presentation reminded me of two important tips for when we give presentations:
1. Pause after important points - This gives listeners time to absorb your ideas and to signal emphasis.
2. Give examples - Share stories of ways others have successfully implemented the ideas and suggestions. Remember to illustrate ideas and concepts with examples, stories, anecdotes, pictures, video, music, or art.
Help your audiences get the full benefit of your talk by using these two important tips when you plan your presentation.
