How to Use Your Projector

6 Tips for Keeping Your Presentation Interesting

Visuals. Visuals. Visuals.
Your audience wants you to show them what you are talking about — literally. Use color graphics, slides, and handouts to get your message across. Research shows that your audience will remember more when you use visual aids to reinforce your words.

Ditch the Podium
Don't get stuck using the podium as a security blanket. Get out in front of your audience and interact with them. You don't have to zoom around the room, but make sure you occasionally move around especially when the audience is large.

Use Eye Contact
You are the presenter and the attention is on you. Make sure you maintain eye contact with your audience. As a general rule, you should make eye contact with an audience member for three to five seconds. Also you should try to make eye contact with all areas of the room, including the back of the room.

Focus on Your Audience
Visuals are designed to provide your audience with reinforcement of your verbal points. They are not supposed to be a presentation crutch.

Be Who You Are
Don't try and be something you are not. Audiences can smell a fake in a minute. Develop your own presentation style and use it!

Skip the Speech
The worst speakers are those who read straight off their notes. Use notes as reminders, but try not to read them. It is far better to speak naturally and use notes to keep yourself on target.
