  3. The Big Rule: • Tell them what you're going to tell them.  • Tell them.  • Tell them what you told them. Try to have a good time-presenting can be hell or heaven, it's all up to you. Less is more. Keep it simple.

  14. Dealing with questions • Some phrases which can be useful when you want to avoid questions: • That’s not really my field, but I can put you in touch with someone who is an expert in the field. • Well, I think that goes beyong the scope of today’s presentation. • I’m afraid we’ve run out of time. • I haven't got the precise information with me today. • That's not really for me to say. • This is not really the place to discuss that matter. • Perhaps that's a question for another meeting.

  15. How to avoid a boring presentation?

  16. How to avoid a boring presentation? • Work on vocal variety!Speak to the audience as if in a one-to-one conversation so as to sound more natural. • Lighten up! Add a bit of humor. There are lots of true and humorous anecdotes that would elicit laughter and get audience members on your side. Laughter will also ease a presenter’s tension. • Don’t tell us everything you know!We must not feel that we have to pack everything we know into one presentation. Usually covering three main points/topics is sufficient for a dynamic presentation.

  17. How to avoid a boring presentation? • Use visual aid with care!Don’t read what audience members can see already -you lose their attention quickly. Also, boring visuals with lots of words and no graphics are a complete turnoff. • Involve the audience!Ask the audience questions and encourage them to ask us questions or make comments on your statements. • Prepare, prepare, prepare and practice, practice, practice! The more prepared you are, the more comfortable and enthusiastic you will be when presenting. • Work on all of these you’ll never, never, never be boring!

  18. You can gain the audience’s attention by: • telling an anecdote, a joke • mentioning a really surprising fact or statistic • stating a problem • asking a question • The question "How many people here have a home computer?" is a lot more interesting than "Today I'm going to tell you about the Internet.“
