Very good tips on how to handle certain audiences and how to present with limited time. Knowing your audience is also important. I like the personal noted from real expereinces as I could relate to some of them. Even as an instructor presenting alecture for students I can apply some of these same helpful tools. This may also have me to narrow mty docus and provide more thorough lectures/content.
This in great even for daily conversation and written communication.
Getting the audience involed and using good presention skills is essental.
I learned that using visuals for presentations is a a great way to engage the audience.
I learned to preplan what to leave out and not rush to meet my agenda. Go with the flow of the audience, get the point across, but possibly present the rest of the material at a later time.
The presentation is almost like a "good book". With a beginning, middle and quesntion and answer at the end to tie everything together. All hopefully to have a solution or knowlegde gained from it.
