Get the audience involved. Nine times out of ten, audiences remember a session in which they participated. But make the participation voluntary and easy. Demonstrate your proposition. Show the audience what you mean.
Lectures are verbal and usually dull, but demonstrations are graphic and add interest.
Where lectures state the case, demonstrations prove it. Use visuals to get your point across. In other words, the fact that you're planning ahead for your presentation ensures a higher degree of success. Although your presentation is still months away, you're already thinking of ways to transform your presentation from average to extraordinary. It's this type of planning and forethought that will ensure success.
