Many people forget that they can ask the audience “yes or no” questions, or questions that illicit a handraise….these tips may sound so simple, and yet they can make the difference between a presentation or speech that connects, or one that falls on bored ears.

And you are so right, the more you know about your audience they better off you will be. It helpful to learn as much as you can about the group ahead of time so that I can make small changes to the way you say things.

Consider how you might change your examples, the relevance of your topic, how it relates to this audience’s life/work. It wil really help them enjoy your presentation more, and get more value from it. And ultimately this helps us get what we want….a successful presentation
