    PRESENTATION
    MISTAKES
    GETTING YOU
    STUCK ON
    AVERAGE

    And how to
    fix them!

    Repost
    this!
    You've been making
    presentations for years.

    But
    are you stuck?
    You feel competent.
    But not exceptional.

    People (kind of) listen...


    and
    then
    forget.
    Avoid these
    5 presentation mistakes
    to become
    UNFORGETTABLE.
    Mistake

    01
    Sharing your

    screen

    immediately
    If you start screensharing
    as soon as you begin...

    you lose out


    on connecting
    with the audience.
    Don't make it all about the
    Powerpoint.

    Talk for a few minutes


    on full-screen.

    You build a connection.


    You get more face time.


    Win-win.
    Mistake

    02
    Starting cold
    Don't start without
    warming up
    your audience.

    Get them to
    want to listen to you.
    Pro-starters

    Common pain.
    Relevant joke.
    Your story.
    Pro-tip
    Get the audience to go

    Mistake

    03
    No

    personality
    Can anyone deliver your
    presentation?

    Then
    why should you
    be the one presenting?
    Make the presentation your

    own.

    Add:
    Your story
    Your sense of humor
    Your quirks
    Mistake

    04
    Failing to

    engage
    Don't go for more than a few
    minutes without engaging
    the audience:

    Check for understanding.


    Snap them out of boredom.


    Take a breath!
    Pro-engagers

    Yes/no question.

    One-word response.

    Choose an option.
    Mistake

    05
    Failing to

    rehearse
    If you're working on your
    slides till
    the last minute...

    You won't become


    familiar with them.

    And will end up reading in


    the presentation.
    The audience doesn't see
    your hours of research.

    They only see your


    final delivery.

    Keep 50% of your


    preparation time
    for rehearsing.
    Knowing your slides
    inside out
    gives you
    the confidence to present
    effortlessly.
    Every presentation is an
    opportunity to:
    Get attention.
    Build trust.
    Grow.

    Make the most out of


    every single time
    you get to speak!
