Rock the Room! Posted By : Cathy Liska - the Guide from the Side- Topic: public speaking

Grab the attention of your audience from the moment you begin until the last person leaves. Start with a quote, a statistic, an example, or a story that ties to your content, connects with your audience, puts you on their level, and demonstrates your expertise. Some people in the audience want to know the point of your content, where it will get them personally, and what documentation you have to back up the information. The other half of your audience wants to hear human interest stories and feel your personality. Develop your content in a way that each person gains from the style of the presentation. If the topic is A, go through the points made throughout the presentation and ask the audience if the information applies to their interest.
