" Think of Your Next Presentation as a Performance "

Presentation Skills 

" Think of Your Next Presentation as a Performance " 

Whether you’re giving a presentation in a conference room or telling jokes in a comedy club, storytelling is the best way to keep your audience hooked.
 Keep these tips in mind to make your next presentation more engaging:

(1) Take a bar exam. 
Imagine you’re in a noisy bar with only napkin drawings to tell your story. If you can make it work there, you can make it work anywhere.

(2) Be immediately interesting. 
Your first line or two sets the tone for the whole presentation.

(3)Simplify and exaggerate. Your audience can only remember a few details, so streamline your delivery and exaggerate the main points.

(4)Close strong. 
People instinctively crave strong, simple resolutions. Refer back to your opening lines to bring the story full circle.
