7. Powerpoint Secrets of Great Presentations - ENERGY! Great keynote speakers - Futurist

[amylchapman]

Patrick, I'm so glad I found your videos. Here's my question, I have to speak on a very somber topic, self-injury, how do I speak energetically on this topic while still being appropriate? Thanks.

@amylchapman Lecture on somber topic? EASY: PASSSION is key. Speak from the heart about self-injury to your audience. Use real stories, and remember, this is a matter of life or death so make every second count.

I am preparing a report for my collegues abt the common mistakes during a presentation and how to avoid them. Your videos are very inspirational. Thank you!

[sliver347]

Very strong words Patrick! I'm absorbing all this in for my presentation in two days! Keep up the good work mate!

[nikothedog]

I have a presentation coming up tomorrow. Thanks for the words

[pjvdixon]

Remember to look at the other 10 of my videos on how to give great presentations. Patrick

[nikothedog]

I should have done so. People liked the presentation, but said that I looked too much at the powerpoint slides

[pjvdixon]

Common mistake. Use computer as monitor in front of you. Hardly ever turn back on audience unless to point with laser or stick to where you want them to look, and keep it all moving with radio mouse so no touching computer.

[nikothedog]

Thanks

Will do so next time. I'l start seeing the other videos right now

[Hyperchiller]

thank you so much Patrick. This will definitely help with my presentations with Toastmasters and beyond. I have favourited a lot of your videos!

You are an inspiration!

How do you recoup all that energy back? Do you eat raw foods/exercise??

[pjvdixon]

Thanks for comments and favouriting, ranking etc as it really helps other people find great things. Exercise is important and a healthy diet, yes. Patrick
