3 Elements of amazing presentations!

1. Passion – touch their heart!

Passion and enthusiasm are everything! You can’t inspire others unless you’re inspired yourself.

Answer the following question: I’m passionate about this because…

Tell stories or present case studies. Make it personal – tell them something about yourself.

In a week's time, I am off to TRENZ, New Zealand's largest tourism tradeshow. Even though it's the 15th time I am attending it, I always try to improve what I do.
At TRENZ,  I will be meeting with 50 tourism from all over the world. They are meeting with 50 different tourism businesses. So, it's important to stand out - to provide them with information that they will remember.

Here are three elements of getting people to remember what you say. (Of course this applies to all presentations!)

1. What’s new?

Our brains are trained to look for something new, something original that stands out.

Stick to 3 key messages as people can only remember 3 or 4 points.

‘A jaw-dropping moment’ will be stamped in your audience’s  brain! What is your 1 big idea? What do you want your audience to remember?

3. Unforgettable: present information in ways that people will remember!

Use stunning images, video clips, demonstrations and props. Use humour too!

Never talk for more than 10 minutes at a time as people’s attention span is short and they get bored easily…

Till next week! Have a great weekend, Marijke
