If it’s important, rehearse
your presentation.
Don’t wing it.
PS: If you’re speaking, it’s important.

What do you want people
to think, feel or do after
your presentation?
Be clear on the goal of your presentation

Do not read your speech
unless the lawyers
tell you to do that.

If your slides are your
presentation,
who needs you?

Facts without relevance
are pointless
You are there to connect the dots.

the key information –
not ALL the information
Sort and prioritize for them.

To establish rapport with
your audience, find the
common ground.

Your speech is over when
the audience stops
listening, not when you
stop speaking. George Torok

It doesn’t matter what you
thought you said. It’s what
the audience believes you
meant.

Every presentation is
an investment of time,
money and effort. How
will you protect your
investment? George Torok

A poor presentation
hurts the audience,
destroys the message and
demeans the messenger.

What will you
do to make
yours better?

presentation in about six words?
If not, you don’t understand your
message.

The reason you speak is
to move people. What
direction do you want to
move them?
PS: Design your presentation to do that.
George Torok

Imagine how your
audience feels when you
read your slides to
them.

The value of your
presentation is not based on
the number of words you
use. It is the power of the
ideas you convey.
George Torok

What’s the value of your
presentation. What might
you gain from success? What
could you lose from failure?
George Torok

Be prepared to answer the
most challenging questions
with confidence and
simplicity.
George Torok

Do you want people to read
your slides or listen to you
read to them? They can’t do
both.
George Torok

One of the challenges of
presenting is recognizing what
to leave out. Your audience
won’t want to hear all that
you want to tell.
George Torok

There is no pill to become a
better public speaker, but you
can learn how to improve your
speaking skills.
