On Presenting (Well)
- No slides (ideally)
- If you must have slides, obey the 10-20-30 rule
- Start with an ice-breaker. Get engagement. Start with a story - leave the punchline til the end
- Follow the old adage: Tell them about what you're going to tell them; tell them; then remind them what you just told them (!)
- Don't pack too much in - explain one point well, rather than five points poorly
- Move. Be animated. Not rigid and still behind the lectern. Walk around the stage
- Don't read notes. Look at the audience. Engage
- Take water
- Don't be scared of silence a) the silent pause seems way longer to you, and b) silence is powerful to help emphasize a point
- Know your audience (in advance). This way you can be clear on what level to pitch your presentation
- Use your voice tonality. Loud, then quiet. Rinse and repeat. Let them lean-in to listen
- It's fine to be nervous. Adrenaline will help you
