14 Tips to be a Kick-a$$ Presenter

Yes, you have been there…the presentation from hell. You discreetly tweeted #killmenow; you yawned and hoped no one caught you; you took copious notes, which looked a lot like a grocery list; you made faces, rolled your eyes and exchanged smirks with equally bored co-workers; and the same things will happen next week when YOU are giving the presentation. Think back to the last great presentation you attended. What captivated your attention? What was memorable about it? Why could you have sat there for another hour listening to the speaker? It’s probably because the presenter was -- repeat after me -- ENGAGING. Audiences don’t want to be spoken to or lectured at, they want be in conversation with you. This may seem like a play on words, it isn’t. These tips will help you be a star presenter.
