Learn From the Master I can't say enough about how much Steve Jobs can teach us about  the Art and Science of Presenting. But seeing is believing.  As you continue your quest to be an outstanding presenter, make  it a point to occasionally watch Jobs in action. Three of my favorite presentations are his iPod  Apple Music Event from 2001and iPhone keynote from 2007, as well as his 2005 graduation speech at Sanford University. But I think you can learn from any of his presentations, especially how he uses his slides and always talks about how his products are going to Change Your World. Learn from the Master. Dare to follow the Best. www.boswell-training.com

Give Them A Reason To Listen Make sure you give your audience a reason to listen. If you don't, they won't. Great presenters know how to turn their audience on. They know it's all about giving their audience  something they need , want, and value. So ask yourself the question:  "Why should my audience listen to me.  And if they do, what will be their reward?" Find out what their top priorities and pain points are. Then, think about which of their priorities and / or pain points your presentation can address. That's what your audience wants to hear about. That's what they care about. That's how you give them a reason to listen. Be Your Presentation Best. Got a Presentation Question?  Ask Me: dan@boswell-training.com www.boswell-training.com
