Presentation Mantras - I should ever remember and Practice

Few I was told, learnt through few sites and



0) Think "What is It in For Me" from audience perspective
        - I always visualise presentations as Film(I am passionate hence so) and as any film, there should be good start , WoW factors in regular intervals, Solid Ending ;-)


1) Audience want to be entertained, want to learn, And most of all they want you to do well. Your mistakes done during presentaion wont prevent audience from those. Big mistake is you make before you even say a word that matters more. These include the mistakes of not having an interesting opinion, of not thinking clearly about your point, and of not planning ways to make those points relevant to your audience.

2) Performance skill, and performance means practice, practice & practice

3) If you can speak a truth most people are afraid to say, you’re a hero - Be honest , you would be interesting

4) Ability to think and refine rough ideas into clear ones is difference between you, JFK, MartinLutherKing - Not ability in public speaking.

5) Avoiding Boredom. A speaker must set the pace for the audience if he wants to keep their attention. … Think of your opening minute as a movie preview: fill it with drama, excitement, and highlights for why people should keep listening. Be confident in what you say and do. If your talk consists of several problems important to the audience, and you promise to release the tension created by those problems by solving each one, you’ll score big.
