9 tips for presenting in person (public speaking) and on webinars | Influence Builders

10 years ago, about halfway through one of the most attended live webcasts that I had ever given (think 800+ people), my internet connection died. Never did two minutes feel so long in my life (until I could finally get over my initial shock and switch over to my phone's connection).

I'd also given speeches with zero technical issues but I bored my audience to death.

I had shows with awful slides and irrelevant content.

After several thousand presentations online and offline, I hope to have learned what makes a presentation (and presenting) good, or even great. (Defined as clear, memorable, useful, substantive, and easy to follow.)

There are many more tricks to it, but I tried to summarize the 9 most important ones in this infographic.

Feel free to print it as a reminder and/or share it with those who can benefit from it.

And if I can help you or your team improve their public speaking skills, just get in touch.
