25.000.000 people EVERY DAY are bored to death during
bad presentations. What about yours?
Ask yourself…
Am I doing it in the
right way?
Ten public speaking clichés that
aren’t always true
3
Why wasting the most important moment of your
presentation to introduce yourself?
4
My name is blah… blah…
I worked on blah… blah…
ZZZ!!! ZZZ!!!
Candy Crush!!!
FB!!!
Give them immediately the reason to listen (VALUE), and
make them crave for more!
5
Some icebreakers…
But remember the VALUE!!!
Tell a
story
• That shows
VALUE
Ask a
question
• That uncovers
VALUE
Go around
the table
• Always keep
control
Arouse
curiosity
• Bill Gates
released
mosquitoes

6
Don't rehearse in front of a mirror!!!

Rehearse first, and then you can look at it!!!

You MUST be among people, also when you’re on stage!
You need to learn to have a good eye contact!

You MUST be among people, also when you’re on stage!
You need to learn to have a good eye contact!
11
Dont be a
sprinkler!
Picturing the audience naked?
12
It does NOT work!
Book: https://www.amazon.it/Please-dont-picture-them-naked-ebook/dp/B00YG53RDW/
Don’t need to be a presentation...
Set it as a conversation!
13
«Introversion“ or "shyness“ are not excuses!!!
Stage is the safest place for you!!!
14
There is «only» one difference between an introvert and
an extrovert regarding public speaking…
15
Energy source!
Session: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Egq6IPUMgh4
«Just try to be yourself» is a bad advice!!!
16
«Just try to be yourself» is a bad advice!!!
17
You need a ritual to become «the best version of you»!
Or at least to «suck less» 
18
Wonder
Woman
Diana Prince
You need a ritual to become «the best version of you»!
Or at least to «suck less» 
19
Wonder
Woman
Wonder Woman Position:
 Perfect before the session to recharge
energy, you can use it «sparingly» during
the session, too.
 It lowers Cortisol and increases
Testosterone
 It’s one of the best «power poses»
Fake it till you become it!!!
You can also warm up your voice
with the right exercises!
https://www.ted.com/talks/amy_cuddy_your_body_language_shapes_who_you_are
NEVER learn a presentation by heart!
20
Eeehhh…
Uhm…
You know…
Memory is a bad ally!
21
You need to memorize ONLY the beginning and the end
of the presentation!
22
If you don’t remember something important, put it on
the slide, don’t hide it in the notes!
23
Use Powerpoint, Keynote, Prezi, PDF, etc. DON’T let them
use you!
• This is an horrible slide!
• Blah blah blah blah
• Blah blah blah blah
• http://blahblahblah.com/blahblah/blahblahblah.htm
• Even more blah blah blah
• Bullet Points are like real «bullets»
THEY KILL PEOPLE!!!
• It never rains, it pours!

• Questa è una pessima slide… con un pessimo template :-D
 Bla bla bla bla
 Bla bla bla bla
 http://blablabla.com/blablabla/blablabla/blablabla.htm
 Ancora bla bla bla
• I Bullet Point si chiamano «bullet» perché se usati male
UCCIDONO!!!
Powerpoint, keynote, prezi, pdf, etc… etc… sono solo
strumenti!
…and now what?
«Put off till tomorrow what you can do today!”
27

Become a time master!
2 minutes per slides, 5 minutes per demo.
Animations could take time, consider to split slides.
Get help with timers or «ring boys/girls»
Pay attention when slides advance automatically.
If you’re delivering a full day training, make people move
during the day to recharge. 28
Did you count how many stories I’ve just told you?
Stories are the key, details will follow…
29
If you want people to remember something for a long
time, use stories that connect to emotions.
30
Emotions
pave the way
to memories!
Details will fade
away without a
good story!
Before we go…
Some strategies to cope with anxiety and stage fright!
31
Arrive early
and
familiarize
yourself
with the
room
One hand
on your
stomach
and
breathe
with your
diaphragm
Cognitive
defusion
and
Expansion
(ACT)
Nutella!
Relax and
power
posing
