Research has shown that presentations which audiences regard as "powerful" have these three key ingredients:
- They entertain - laughter can open an audience's mind. This doesn't mean that you should necessarily open with a joke, but if you can find a humorous sidelight, it can help to open minds to your message.
- They inspire - inspiration will lift your listener above the limitations of the everyday and the bounds that they set for themselves. If you can inspire an audience, you'll not only be powerful, but you'll be remembered.
- They educate - great presentations provide ideas, tips, processes, systems, and things to help an audience change behaviours.
Think about these three key elements when you're building your next presentation.
