MYTH-TAKES
public speaking mistakes
develop an infomercial
introduce yourself. Tell your audience who you are and what you
do
develop rapport
take at least 30 seconds — even a few minutes — to introduce your
material before getting into the heart of the material
acknowledge your audience
know something about your audience and design your talk for them
find an opportunity to praise them
stay in the limelight
keep the room well lit to keep the audience’s attention
don’t darken the room too much if you use slides or other
visuals
tell stories — don’t just collect facts
stories are the best way to illustrate points
don’t totally rely on statistics, data, charts and quotes
avoid data dump
keep to 3 core messages. often presenters have a broad focus and provide too
much detail on a subject
provide hand-outs last
avoid hand-outs before you start your presentation or the audience will be
distracted
build in time for questions
always allow a few minutes to respond to questions and answers
never say thank you
your audience should be thanking you
end with a memorable hook instead of a limp
thank you
know what time it is
arrive early, start on time,
& keep to time guidelines to ensure you will be remembered positively
