KEVIN KEARNS PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

SEVEN TIPS TO BECOME A DYNAMIC PRESENTER

• Prepare• Humor• No apologies• Attention• Move• Voice• Respect

PREPARE

• Who are the people your talking to? • What are the main points you want your audience

to walk away with? • What kind of information does my audience

need?

• To help your audience: • Tell them what you will tell them;• Tell them; and• Then tell that what you told them.

HUMOR

You have to be careful using jokes!• You can make fun of situations and yourself• Never make fun of the audience • Jokes can help your presentation, but also mess it

up completely• This is a business setting and the jokes must be

clean and non-offensive;• There must be a connection between the joke and

your topic

HUMOR

NO APOLOGIES

• I’m sorry a have a cold• I’m sorry I’m a bit nervous • I’m sorry I didn’t brush my hair, and that you

need to look at me for 5 minutes now• I’m sorry I look like a zombie, but I went out last

night

ATTENTION

• Get and keep their attention. • Different people have different learning styles. • Listening• seeing • experiencing

If appropriate, try to fit all aspects into the presentation.

What find of person are you? Do you perfer listening, seeing or doing?

ATTENTION

Visual aides are a great way to keep your audience's attention.

Rules about visual aides: • Allow for some white space, • Use alternating colors for easier reading• Visual aides support the presentation; do not use

them as the entire presentation

MOVE

• Kearns appreciates the value of high energy and enthusiasm. He uses both strategies.

• He insists on using not to much energy and enthusiasm!

• Appropriate use of movement is the key.

VOICE

• Speak up: no comments like: “what did she say”

• No fillers: no 'um's, uh's"

• Switch it: the change in volume will get the audience's attention.

RESPECT

Show respect to the audience and they will show it to you. Some ways to demonstrate respect for your audience: • Eye contact • Honesty • Save face • Self-correction

•Don’t forget to use your own style too
