How to WOW them.

After reading the two articles I was taken back by all the good ideas I was given. Each article had personal stories of what dose and dose not work when you are given a presentation. I was able to find three main points that the articles brought up.

1. You must really work to entertain your audience. Most of the time the people you are talking to would rather be doing something else more important to them. Using color slides, humor, and your voice will really help keep them entertain in your presentation.

2. Be Prepared. It is important that you are well prepared for your presentation. Know exactly what is on each slide so you never have to look back and also know what you want to talk about next. Practice your presentation in front of others to get a feel for how long it will take and what you need to work on.

3. Find a way to connect with your audience. Before going into your presentation, learn about the type of people who are going to be in the audience. Prepare your presentation around these people. Some good questions to ask are…How old are they? What do they do?
