Let’s talk. There are certain aspects of your speech that grab people in. But what exactly separates people from listening to you from the people yawning in despair? In order to deliver a speech out of the ball park, there are four important tips to factor in.
Come out of the gate strong. What can you do to start your presentation on the right foot? Get creative and give people a reason to care about what you’re saying. Don’t leave your best stuff for last!
A picture is worth 1,000 words. It’s impossible to expect your audience to digest all of the facts, figures, and statistics you’ll be throwing their way. Add graphics and videos to help keep them visually captivated.
Embrace unconventionality. You don’t become successful by following your peers. It’s important to make your presentation personal, including all of your quirks, vulnerabilities, and life experiences.
Be dynamic. Body language is important when it comes to connecting with your audience. Don’t stay hidden behind the podium. If your setup allows it, move around the stage, or venture into the audience.
