Assignment #5: 10 Tips for a Killer Presentation

1) Don't abuse your visuals: keep your visuals simple, don't put too many words
2) Look at the audience: If we don't look at people, we are not engaging the audience
3) Show your personality: Show some character when presenting
4) Make them laugh: when we want to educate our audience; it keeps audience alert and they will learn more from us
5) Talk to your audience, not at them: interact wih our audience and create a conversation; ask them questions and let them ask questions
6) Be honest: tell them the truth, even if they don't want t hear it; they will respect us so it makes us more human
7) Don't over prepare: we have to know what we are talking about; presentation should flows naturally instead of sounding memorized
8) Show some mvement: we can show some gestures or pace on stage when we are speaking
9) Watch what you say: we don't notice when e say "uhm", "ah" or anything else. But the audience does
10) Differentiate yourself: we have to do something uinique and memorable, so that the audience can remember us.
