It’s amazing how many presentations don’t communicate a message. Individuals can easily fill 15, 30, 60 or sometimes even 120 minutes talking about nothing. You walk away often asking yourself “What was that all about?”Our time is our most valuable asset. It's a shame that so many presenters disrespect our most precious resource. Can you even recall two points from the last presentation you had to sit through? I can't. Here are a few tips to help make sure people remember and appreciate your next presentation.Three Points Whoever said less is more was a wise person. Keep it simple. You should never try to address more than three points in a presentation. Four is too many and two is too little. Three is ideal.Introverts and Extroverts You need to talk to both of these audiences. Hence, you need to be engaging for the extroverts, but also informative for the introverts. Both groups are important and you should never lean in one direction with your approach, delivery, and content. Mix it up.Preview and Review Always preview what you are going to say and conclude with a review. By doing this you increase information retention. Your presentation is worthless if no one remembers it. Preview and review your content always.If you embrace these three simple concepts, you will add significant value to your next presentation. Trust me. Always remember to keep it simple, talk to both audiences, and preview and review your content. There’s a review for you.
