The secret to great presentations.

If you are like me, you often find yourself having to give presentations to large and small groups. If you are new to presentations keep reading; I have some great tips to help you develop amazing demonstrations.

First, keep your slides simple. Too many graphics or frilly fonts are bad for engaging people, especially if is catering to a group of 10 or more!

Encourage a conversation, don’t force it. I hate when people go around the room and make me introduce myself to others. I never remember everyone’s names and I’m sure they don’t remember mine. Setting the tone to encourage conversation will let people naturally introduce themselves to one another and spark interaction.

Finally, I never end late. If you have a meeting scheduled to end at 2pm and it goes an hour long, guess when people stopped listening to you and started paying attention to the clock? That’s right, 2pm!

The secret to a great presentation isn’t that big of a secret. In fact, it is a three step series of events that is quite simple to implement.

Until next time,
