OF MAKING EVERY
PRESENTATION FUN,
ENGAGING & ENJOYABLE
12
SECRETS
SHORT & SWEET
With very long, meandering speeches you tend to
lose the audience pretty early on, and from then on
out it’s just a test of endurance for the few bravest
listeners.
1
MAKE YOUR PRESENTATION
OPEN UP
WITH A
GOOD ICE
BREAKER
2
Joking
There are different kinds of effective ice-breakers, but
generally speaking, the most successful ones utilize one of
these tactics:
Tugging on
their heart
strings
Dropping a
bombastic
statement
Telling an
interesting
and relevant
anecdote
Using a
metaphor or
drawing
comparisons
KEEP THINGS SIMPLE AND
TO THE POINT
............................ GREAT !
YOUR IDEA

3
A good game plan consists of several
important points that need to be
addressed efficiently. This means
moving on from one point to another
in a logical manner, coming to a
sound conclusion and making sure to
accentuate the key information.
USE A HEALTHY
DOSE OF HUMOR
4
Some of the best speeches and presentations in
the world, which have been heard and viewed by
millions, all feature plenty of humor.
No matter the subject, a great speaker will use
natural charisma, humor and beautiful language to
convey their points and get the crowd excited
about what they are saying.
TRY TO TELL A STORY INSTEAD OF RANTING
5
Some people can do
all of the above things
right and still manage
to turn their short and
fun little presentation
into a chaotic mess of
information.
PRACTICE
YOUR
DELIVERY
6
Standing in front of the mirror and
practicing a speech or presentation is a
technique as old as mirrors – well, come to
think of it, as old as human speech, since
you can see yourself reflected in any clear
and calm body of water – and it means that
it is tried and true.
MOVE AROUND &
USE YOUR HANDS
7
The same goes for moving around and
taking up some space. However, try to
make slower, calculated and deliberate
movements. You want your movements
to seem powerful, yet effortless. You
can achieve this through practice.
ENGAGE THE
AUDIENCE
BY MAKING THEM
RELATE
8
Sometimes you will lose the audience
somewhat in techno-babble, numbers, graphs
and abstract ideas. At that point it is important
to reel them back in using some good, old-
fashioned storytelling. Make comparisons to
events from everyday life that most people are
more than familiar with.
USE STUNNING IMAGES
IN YOUR SLIDES
Although slides are not really necessary at all times, if
you do need them to make your point and present your
information more effectively, it’s best to live them up.
9
10
When all is said and done you will want the
audience to remember the core concepts and
keep thinking about what you have said after the
presentation is over. This is why you should let
things naturally calm down and end with an
important idea, quote or even a question.
ASK FOR
INTERACTION
11
Start your presentation by telling the
audience you want their questions and
that you expect interaction.
Tell them when you’d like them to ask, and
if you’ll have designated time for it.
INTRODUCE YOURSELF
MEMORABLY
12 Before you start your speech, introduce yourself with one or
two quick sentences. Avoid listing off your resume -- instead,
quickly remind your audience who you are and why they
should care about what you have to say.

12 Secrets of Making Every Presentation Fun, Engaging and Enjoyable

  • 1. OF MAKING EVERY PRESENTATION FUN, ENGAGING & ENJOYABLE 12 SECRETS
  • 2. SHORT & SWEET With very long, meandering speeches you tend to lose the audience pretty early on, and from then on out it’s just a test of endurance for the few bravest listeners. 1 MAKE YOUR PRESENTATION
  • 3. OPEN UP WITH A GOOD ICE BREAKER 2
  • 4. Joking There are different kinds of effective ice-breakers, but generally speaking, the most successful ones utilize one of these tactics: Tugging on their heart strings Dropping a bombastic statement Telling an interesting and relevant anecdote Using a metaphor or drawing comparisons
  • 5. KEEP THINGS SIMPLE AND TO THE POINT ............................ GREAT !

  • 6. A good game plan consists of several important points that need to be addressed efficiently. This means moving on from one point to another in a logical manner, coming to a sound conclusion and making sure to accentuate the key information.
  • 7. USE A HEALTHY DOSE OF HUMOR 4
  • 8. Some of the best speeches and presentations in the world, which have been heard and viewed by millions, all feature plenty of humor. No matter the subject, a great speaker will use natural charisma, humor and beautiful language to convey their points and get the crowd excited about what they are saying.
  • 9. TRY TO TELL A STORY INSTEAD OF RANTING 5 Some people can do all of the above things right and still manage to turn their short and fun little presentation into a chaotic mess of information.
  • 11. Standing in front of the mirror and practicing a speech or presentation is a technique as old as mirrors – well, come to think of it, as old as human speech, since you can see yourself reflected in any clear and calm body of water – and it means that it is tried and true.
  • 12. MOVE AROUND & USE YOUR HANDS 7
  • 13. The same goes for moving around and taking up some space. However, try to make slower, calculated and deliberate movements. You want your movements to seem powerful, yet effortless. You can achieve this through practice.
  • 15. Sometimes you will lose the audience somewhat in techno-babble, numbers, graphs and abstract ideas. At that point it is important to reel them back in using some good, old- fashioned storytelling. Make comparisons to events from everyday life that most people are more than familiar with.
  • 16. USE STUNNING IMAGES IN YOUR SLIDES Although slides are not really necessary at all times, if you do need them to make your point and present your information more effectively, it’s best to live them up. 9
