2. “According to most studies, peoples’
number one fear is public speaking.
Number two is death. Death is
number two! This means, to the
average person, if you go to a
funeral, you’re better off in the
casket than doing the eulogy.”
– Jerry Seinfeld
“There are always three
speeches for everyone you
actually gave. The one you
practiced, the one you gave and
the one you wish you gave.”
– Dale Carnegie

4. Kill those fog-horns & fillers
with pauses:
• Even seasoned presenters fall prey
to these presentation killers - ‘um,’
‘ah,’ or ‘you know’, etc. Replace
those with a pause. The pause may
seem a bit awkward, but the
audience will barely notice it

6. Pictures tell stories
• Wherever possible
replace your bullet
points with pictures.

picture can convey a
lot more than a
series of slides with
endless bullet points.

picture is worth a
thousand words".

change slides easily on the screen
without having to be stuck behind a
