With confidence in yourself comes engagement. Engagement with your audience.
You want your audience to believe that they are having a one to one conversation with you. That’s one to one many time over for a large audience.
And because your audience believes that it is having a conversation with you then you have the opportunity to take them on a journey of engagement.
That journey begins with hearing and listening. It continues with understanding and participating. And it ends with remembering and doing.
Your job as a presenter is to make sure that you do everything you can do to make this journey happen. Your audience must be able to hear you without interruption. You must speak at a pace that encourages listening.
You have to build your argument and illustrate your points to foster understanding. Your techniques must enable participation. With questions for the audience or audience votes for example. And you must ensure that you keep hitting the main theme, the main points and the main message of your presentation.
That’s engagement. Next, your presentation voice.

Listen to all the tips and techniques for better presentations.
