Humor can be great for giving a presentation. Telling a humorous story can break down any barriers, make you more likeable, and make your message more memorable.
How much do you know about your audience? The more you know, the better. Especially if you know their likes and dislikes. Inserting a metaphor or popular culture reference that are relevant to your audience will kick off your presentation.
To stand out in your presentation, yours must be unique. One way is to tell a story that is different and unexpected for your audience, so that they’ll sit up and take notice.
At first you might have a huge amount of information and will wonder how you’re ever going get it down to six words per slide. That’s OK. Keep editing ruthlessly until you’ve pared your message down to the bare essentials.
