- Know your audience. Do your homework—understand the audience’s perspective, and think ahead about what that means to you, as the speaker.
- Engage your listeners—make eye contact, and work the room to connect.
- Wherever possible and appropriate, take and follow their cues—watch the body language.
- Be flexible and be prepared to change the flow of your remarks, length of presentation, and focus based on changing circumstances.
- Own the material, even if team members helped you prepare. To connect with the audience, the content must be yours.
- Be passionate about your topic – it is critical to not only know your topic but to also be passionate about it if you are to capture the attention of your audience.
- Be yourself – authentic speakers connect.
- Be careful with humor, risk usually exceeds the reward.
