Some Tips for Designing an Insanely Great Talk
Here are just a few things you can do to create a fantastic presentation:
- Remember: great talks mix education, entertainment, and inspiration
- Limit the number of bullet points. Text can be your enemy. Better yet, try to develop your talk without bullet points!
- Use more pictures and video. The more the better.
- Tell stories and use emotion (people love stories and learn well from stories)
- In order to improve your speaking skills listen to recordings of yourself and watch videos of your presentations
- Spend extra time of developing an excellent opening and closing. Bombing these will seal your fate.
