It makes sense to be authentic when presenting, because this is the easiest state to maintain. As someone wise once noted, “if you are going to be a liar you need a stupendous memory to keep up with who you told what”. Presenting is something similar. Maintaining a fiction in front of an audience takes a lot of skill. In fact, if you have that much…

If you are scanning the internet for PowerPoint tips, it’s most likely because something has happened recently that wasn’t ideal.

I listen to some podcasts on writing, trying to better educate myself on the craft. I was hopeless at English at school, so the rest of my life has been a remedial fix in that department.

Presentations have become tediously monochrome. The speaker speaks, the audience sit there passively taking it all in.

Many people break the rules of presenting, usually unknowingly.

Primacy refers to the beginning of something, as it enters our brain. This new entity has a powerful impact on our memory and our concentration.

For many people it may seem we are getting into oxymoron territory here. “Public speaking…enjoyable? You must be kidding mate”.

Sometimes the organisers of the presentation event ask us if they can distribute our slides before the speech. They are thinking that this will help the audience to follow what we are saying.

A request came to me recently asking me to speak to an audience. So my first question was, “what would you like me to speak about?”. The answer was fairly broad. Actually, that is good and bad.

You see it. The presenter publicly self-immolates. They might butcher the start, get lost in the weeds of their content or be put to the sword at the end in the Q&A.
