 Not enough time to prepare for your presentations? Remember these 3 H.O.T Tips that you must have as you prepare your presentations. 1) Hook If you start the session by saying, "Hi, I am <your name> from <your dept/ company>, it appears normal and boring. So, change the style. Engage the audience right from the start. Hook them. One way to hook them is to ask and get their response: An example: Ask them to answer this question by raising their hands: "Who believes that public speaking is an important skill to have?" We can easily get their responses and engage them at the same time. 2) Odd-numbered Topics Break your topics into three parts (or odd numbers). This is because human brains are designed to remember odd numbers easily. 3) The Call-to-Action At the end of the presentation, always include your call-to-action, so that the audience will know what to do next. It could be the next date of your meeting, deadlines for them to meet etc. Apply these three tips and your audience will appreciate you.
