Some of the things Ryan shares are:
- Break the ice by showing you are vulnerable (laugh at yourself)
- Know your audience by learning about each individual who will be in the room
- When seeking to connect with your audience, dress to relate not to impress
- When preparing for a presentation, you are always developing and refining it
- How you practice will determine how you play
- When giving a presentation make it simple, impactful and relatable
- When giving a presentation show that you are human
- Differentiate yourself by being YOU! This will give you an edge over your competitors because they can’t be you!
- PowerPoint should not have more than 10 words. Ryan recommends the use of videos instead of pictures sometimes
- Focus on ONE message that you want your audience to get
These are some very practical tips and advice that any of us can begin implementing today to see a difference. Please try them and let me know how effective it was for you.
