1
Start Your SpeechWith a Bang!
If you don’t grab your audience’s
attention within the first 30 seconds,
they will tune out of your
presentation…
Solution?
Open with a powerful question
or a story
to immediately
capture audience attention
2
Do Not Lip Sync Your Presentation!
Don’t read word-for-word from your Powerpoint
If you and your Powerpoint are saying the exact same thing, one
of you is not needed
– Craig Valentine
3
Provide a ClearNext Step
What do you want your audience to think, feel or do differently as a result of listening
to your presentation?
Give your audience a clear next step they should take after listening to your speech
4
Sell the Benefits
“People don’t buy paint, they buy beautiful walls” – Unknown
What are the benefits audience members will receive as a result of taking your recommended
course of action? Always sell the benefits!
5
Don’t Make Yourself Seem Special or Superior
You don’t want to come off as a special person so don’t flaunt your high IQ or
brilliant business acumen.
Instead, share your failures, flaws and struggles and show how you overcame
those to finally achieve success
By sharing your relevant failures and flaws (and then sharing the process you used to
achieve success), you will gain your audience’s support.
