Sample:

Lesson 1:
What is the best way to start your presentation?.

(click to play video)

Talk about the audience’s needs or desires right off the bat.

Because nothing big in life ever happens just by sending a memo or an e-mail. The biggest moments in your life are about presentations. A job interview, a new business pitch, a marriage proposal, a request for funding, an interview on live network TV news, and a request for a promotion—these are all presentations of one kind or another. When a topic is important, human beings want to hear from you—directly. Presenting is not the best way to transfer a large body of facts to people, but it is the best way to make people sit up and take notice, to make them understand that you think something is extremely important, and to convince them that they should think it is important too. Presenting is a way of putting a spotlight on an idea that no other medium can ever match— not e-mail, not memos, not even TV or radio.

Presentation skills are the only universal factor among wildly successful people in every field, yet they are rarely taught in business schools and other institutions of higher learning. Every big corporation in the world is packed with mid-level managers, many of whom may have done better in school and have higher IQs than their bosses. But these mid-level managers often develop reputations for being behind-the-scenes players. Why? Because they either avoided or failed at opportunities to speak out. They didn’t raise their hand in meetings. They turned down the opportunity to fill in for the boss on a critical client presentation. They developed a reputation for hard work, but also as “not the sort of person we can put out front, who can effectively represent our company to the industry and to the rest of the world.” This is a tragedy of human potential, but it is one that can be fixed at any age, by anyone.

Lesson 2:
How Long Should Your Presentation Be?

(click to play video)

According to a U.S. Department of Defense study conducted in 1974, the perfect length of a presentation is 17.4 minutes.

Really! This is what the research found.

Don’t you believe it. Here is the only rule you need to follow when it comes to presentation length:

Speak for as long as you need to, provided that you are consistently interesting and memorable to the people in front of you.

Lesson 3:
What should be my realistic big picture goals?

(click to play video)

I think you should have five specific goals every time you present.

First, you should want to look comfortable, confident, relaxed, and authoritative.
You want to look your best. Partly, because we are all vain, but mostly, because it will generally make us seem more credible and therefore will make our messages more memorable and believable. By looking comfortable and relaxed, we allow our audience to focus on our message without distractions.

Second, you should want to be understood. If you use too much jargon or insider lingo, no one will understand you. If you speak too quickly or too softly, no one will understand you. If you use language that is too high-level or low-level for your audience, no one will understand you. And if people don’t understand you, then no real communication is going to occur.

Third, you should want people to remember your messages. This is a big one. This is where presenting gets tricky. Lots of people can speak in ways that are understandable, but few people can speak in ways that are memorable. Most people present in a manner that is so abstract and fuzzy that, while they may be understood, nothing sticks in the memory of the average audience member. This is a critical problem if left unsolved. If you present information and no one remembers anything you said, what have you accomplished? Absolutely nothing. There is only one type of presenter I know of where it doesn’t matter if you remember anything—the standup comic. If I go to a comedy show on Saturday night and have a lot of laughs with friends, but I don’t remember any jokes Sunday morning, that’s OK. I still had a fun Saturday night. But if you are giving a business presentation and nobody remembers anything you said, it was a failed presentation.  

Fourth, you should want the people you are presenting to to take some action, in the form of placing an order, voting for you, hiring you, authorizing your project, or at least changing some small thing about the way they work. Unless you are a philosophy professor and you are speaking just for the intellectual enrichment of your audience, when you present to people, you typically are doing to because you want them to take a very specific action.

Fifth, you should want people who heard you present to tell other people what your message is. You want people who didn’t write down anything you said to be able to tell their colleagues, associates, friends, and business partners what they learned from you. This way, your presentation continues to benefit you and others—it lives on.

To be a successful presenter, focus on confidently and authoritatively delivering a presentation that your audience understands and remembers, and that will drive listeners to take action and tell others about your message.

Remember, it’s not communication if it simply comes out of your mouth. It is only an act of communication if it comes out of your mouth and is received, processed, and understood by someone else. And it is only effective communication if you get that person to act on your messages. The foolproof presenter realizes that it is possible to accomplish all five of these goals each and every time you speak. Every single presentation is an opportunity to make a connection and communicate with your audience.

Lesson 4:
Should I Tell 'Em?

(click to play video)

Spend less time focusing on telegraphing the outline of your presentation to your audience and more time simply being interesting.

Take this little test:

Answer quickly: How many emergency exit doors are there on a 737?

Anytime I ask a group of presentation trainees this question, I get answers ranging from two to twelve. Yet anyone who travels has been told exactly how many exit doors there are dozens or even hundreds of times. Somehow, we still don’t remember. (Confession: I have no idea how many exit doors there are.) We don’t remember how many doors there are on the plane because we are presented with this information while we’re getting comfortable, stowing our bags, or looking at the safety brochure. And the information is delivered in such a perfunctory manner, without any effort to get our attention, it’s no surprise we can’t remember it.
