Here are the 9 secret ingredients of an effective and engaging public speaking:
Unleash the Master Within – dig deep to identify your unique and meaningful connection to your presentation topic. Passion leads to mastery and your presentation is nothing without it.
Master the Art of Storytelling – tell stories to reach people’s heart and minds. try revealing your personal stories, if you can.
Have a Conversation – Practice relentlessly and internalize your content so that you can deliver the presentation as comfortably as having a conversation with a close friend.
Teach Me Something New – Reveal information that’s completely new to your audience, packaged differently, or offers a fresh and novel way to solve an old problem.
Deliver Jaw-Dropping Moments – Deliver a shocking, impressive, or surprising moment that is so moving and memorable, it grabs the listener’s attention and is remembered long after the presentation is over.
Lighten Up – Don’t take yourself (or your topic) too seriously. The brain loves humour. Give your audience something to smile about.
Stick to the 18-Minute Rule – This time is long enough to be serious and shot enough to hold people’s attention.
Paint a mental picture with multi sensory experiences – Deliver presentations with components that touch more than one of the senses: sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell.
Stay in Your Lane – Be authentic, open and transparent.
