Tip #78: During the Presentation. If you use notes, don’t speak while looking at them. Your role is to deliver the information to your audience, not to an index card.

Tip #76: During the Presentation. Remember: Your audience needs twice as long to digest what you say as you need to say it, so slow down and use pauses frequently.

Tip #75: Before the Presentation. If you use notes, they should look like a sparse outline using as few words as possible.

Tip #74: Before the Presentation. Insert frequent paragraph breaks, number your pages and leave plenty of blank space at the bottom, so you’re not looking too far down.

Tip #73: Before the Presentation. If you create a word-for-word manuscript, practice as much as possible so you can speak to your audience and not read your words.

Tip #72: Before the Presentation. Time yourself, but be more concerned about going too long rather than going too short. If you’re running long, cut content; don’t speed up.

Tip #71: Before the Presentation. When you practice, do it out loud and in real time. Effective practice is about training your mouth and mind to work together to create and convey clear ideas.

Tip #70: Before the Presentation. Memorize your starting and concluding sentences so you can start with a strong impression and end with an equally strong conclusion or call to action.

Tip #67: Focus on what works. Sometimes what works for one audience won’t work for another. Remember, every time you speak it’s for them, not for you.

Tip #66: The weak finish. The last thing that you say is the most important. Ending with a “thank you” is just a lazy way to say, “My presentation is over.” Find a better way.

Tip #66: I before you. Many presenters make their stories all about them. Yawn. Do you want your audience to tune out?

Tip #65: Dreadful visuals. There is no such thing as a neutral visual—it’s either adding or taking value away.

Tip #64: Going over time. The cardinal sin in public speaking is going over time. A great way to derail a presentation is to make the audience feel anxious as you race to beat the clock.

Tip # 63: Ending on Q&A. Never end on audience questions. That’s not how you want to close, so don’t gamble on someone else’s question.

Tip #62: Sameness. Be aware of how you sound and your audience’s reaction. Add variety to everything—pace, vocal range, volume, and even the emotions you inject.

Tip #61: Over-explaining. Keep your stories and explanations as short as they can be. Do more engaging and less explaining.
