Practical techniques you can use tomorrow
One central message the audience can repeat in a sentence
Frame ideas as narrative — humans remember stories, not bullet points
Pace, pauses, eye contact — practised until it feels effortless
Talk WITH the room, not AT it — read faces, adjust, respond
If the audience can read it, they don't need you. Slides are a backdrop, not a teleprompter.
'I didn't have much time to prepare' instantly lowers the audience's expectations and your credibility.
Every minute you steal is a minute the audience starts resenting. End early — they'll thank you.
Um, ah, like, you know. Recorded yourself once. Cut 80% of fillers by replacing them with silence.
Reads every slide aloud, eyes glued to the screen, audience tunes out within 2 minutes.
Uses slides as visual anchors — speaks to the audience, references the slide briefly, moves on.
Speeds up under stress — 60 words/minute becomes 200, key points get buried.
Slows down, builds in deliberate pauses after key points. Silence forces audience attention.
