Stop Wasting Time on Presentations
This course is about helping you not just to get better at your presentation skills but to help save you time. One of the biggest problems most people have when they are getting ready to give a presentation is they don't know where to start. Forget about researching, gathering information, preparing the slides, graphs, etc. The starting point is to ask yourself one question 'what you want your audience to do after your presentation' .

How To Make the Audience Do What you Want
Now that you have been able to point out what you want your audience to do after your presentation, now is the time to start brainstorming. You need to brainstorm every idea, fact, message, number that will motivate your audience to do what you want. Mind you, you don't have to talk about everything but what you want your audience to know. In this video, you will learn how to narrow down your message/ideas to just five points.
03:39
Embed Presentations With Relevant Stories
Convey your point with relevant stories so that your audience can remember. Your audience remembering your story a while later is what makes your presentation effective. There is no reason to look and sound like a beginner, and the easiest way to get above the 'being a beginner' or ' being a boring speaker ' is telling a story. Human beings are wired to tell stories and remember stories.
