This document provides 7 tips for giving engaging presentations: 1) Know your material and practice, 2) Don't just read off your slides, 3) Keep slides simple and focused, 4) Know your audience, 5) Interact with your audience, 6) Slow down your pace, and 7) Be passionate and share your energy. The tips encourage rehearsing, using slides to illustrate rather than distract, researching your audience, adding interactive elements, allowing time to absorb content, and conveying genuine enthusiasm.
7. YOUR SLIDES ARE NOT
A TELEPROMPTER.
You are the star of the
presentation. If you are
simply reading off your
slides, why should the
audience listen to you?
12. DO YOUR RESEARCH.
Your job as a speaker is to connect with your
audience in order to communicate your message.
The only way to connect with your audience is by
knowing who they are and what they like.

14. A PRESENTATION SHOULD BE
MORE OF A CONVERSATION
THAN A ONE WAY STREAM.
Make your presentations
more engaging by adding
slides that encourage the
audience to interact. “ ”
