Delivering Confident and Impactful Presentations - something all presenters aspire to do. So how can you end up delivering confident and impactful presentations?
Here's how:

• Confidence Boosters:
• Knowledge, Clothes and Notes - You are likely to be presenting on a subject you know well. You may even be an expert. Your audience are there for you. They want to learn from and he enthused by you. Look good, feel good. Choose clothes which you feel good in. Postcard size prompt cards give you something to hold. One or two words per slide can act as your prompt / safety net if you need it. Write big enough so you see the prompt at a glance.
• Preparation and Practice - Do thorough preparation - focus on what you know and what your audience are expecting. Don’t go overboard on detail. Minimise slides and what’s on them. Take practice seriously. Time it. Speak out-loud standing up if that is how you will be delivering your presentation.
• Distraction - The most nervous time is often the 10-15 minutes before you start. Use that time to meet & greet your audience, plan your evening, your next holiday - anything to take your mind off thinking about your presentation.

• Creating Impact:
• Start with Audience not you - Your audience want to be engaged, educated, enthused, even entertained by you. So from the get go talk about them, not about you. They are not interested in you, only how what you are sharing with them will benefit them. So no drum banging, awards, client logos or team pics at the start!
• Maximum of 3 Messages - Regardless of how long your presentation is focus on delivering for your audience no more than three key messages. They can remember and act upon three but they can’t remember six or eight or 27.
• Use your Voice - Your voice is a key tool in your presentation armoury. Use it to maintain audience engagement, emphasise a key point, pick up or slow down the pace, pause for effect etc…Your voice can give you presence and boost your energy. Practice out-loud. Using your voice will stand you out.

No More Boring Presentations with Ivan Wanis Ruiz

Ivan is a communication maverick and international speaker, renowned for his book End Boring: A Tactical Approach to Public Speaking and Communication.

With over 15 years of experience, Ivan founded Public Speaking Lab to revolutionise communication skills training. Drawing from neuroscience, stand-up comedy, and police interrogation techniques, he has trained over half a million people worldwide.

We talk about body language, eye contact, the belly button rule, slides all with an end goal of helping ensure you don’t deliver a boring presentation

We talked about the three traps that presenters fall into firstly formality, secondly speaking in the third person and thirdly too many details.

Ivan’s Top tip number one is practice where people can see you which could be a cafeteria or a park bench or even before you go live and when people are arriving at the conference or event venue

Top tip number two is if you're delivering a technical presentation with quite a bit of detail every third or fourth slide simply put in a picture with no words on the slide and introduce it either as a precursor to what you have just been talking about or as an introduction to the information you're going to about to share on the following few minutes
