Don’t read your speech. Package the information with your voice, body language and style to make it interesting.   Presentation Sin 3: Lacking passion            Believe in your message and let them know how much you believe in it. Passion is captivating, contagious and more convincing than logic.   Presentation Sin 4: Confusing your audience            Keep your message clear. Eliminate unnecessary information and conflicting messages. Use words that they understand. Repeat your message three times.   Presentation Sin 5: Insulting your audience            Talk to them and with them - but not down to them. Don’t make jokes about the audience. Don’t assume that you know what they think, know or have done.   Presentation Sin 6: Not clear about your purpose/message            Ask yourself why you are giving this speech. Be able to state your message in one short clear phrase. Then build your presentation around that. If you can’t – don’t.   Presentation Sin 7: Information overload            Give them what they need to know to do what you want them to do. Don’t overload them with too much information.   Presentation Sin 8: Stuck in your rut of delivery – unable to flex to the audience            Be prepared to alter your presentation to reach the audience in the way that is best for them. It is not about you. You must reach them with your message.   Presentation Sin 9: Using slides that are boring, irrelevant, or confusing            Only use visual aids that reinforce your message. PowerPoint will never rescue you from poor presentation skills. You are your best messenger.   © George Torok. The Nine Presentation Sins. Beware of these presentation sins and avoid them.
