Lengthy presentations with too much information on the slides easily bore your audience and you lose their attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Better: Radically shorten your slides. Instead of 20 slides, use 2 slides with only the most important information.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Tip #2: Visual superiority<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bullet points are long outdated.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Studies show that information in form of images remain in our memory for longer than just words do. Even three days later, people remember about 65% of information that was presented in combination with an image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Jobs recognized this early on and used photos and texts on his slides instead. <strong>Follow Steve Jobs&#8217; example and use pictures and videos!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find two creative ideas for integrating pictures in the article &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/including-images-skilfully-in-ppt\/\">Images in Presentations: 2 ideas<\/a>&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another idea for avoiding bullet points is the <strong>use of icons<\/strong>. These small pictograms clarify your statements in a simple way and are visually appealing at the same time. You can find all information about icons in the article &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/powerpoint-icons\/\">PowerPoint Icons<\/a>&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feel free to also use icons from PresentationLoad!

Jonah Berger&#8217;s study shows that effective speakers work with their voices. This means, that they use their voices to argue more confidently:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Raise your voice to emphasize key messages<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Take breaks after important points<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Alternate between high and low pitch<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use humour <\/strong>(tips <a href=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/humorous-presentations-ppt\/\">here<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You will find many tips on how to use your voice in the article &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/public-speaking-skills-present-confidence\/\">Speaking Techniques<\/a>&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tip #4: Create memorable moments<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>People won\u2019t remember every detail of your presentations, they remember moments.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Create successful, unexpected moments. Your audience expects a standard PowerPoint presentation, so surprise them and evoke emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Example of a TED-Talk by Bill Gates in 2009: The transmission of malaria by mosquitoes and its containment. The surprise: Bill Gates walked into the middle of the audience, opened a can of uninfected mosquitoes and said &#8220;I brought a few for you to experience. We&#8217;re going to let them buzz around the auditorium for a bit.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Unexpected moments capture the audience&#8217;s attention, because the human brain gets bored quickly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tip #5: Practice makes perfect<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You should practice your speech. <\/strong>Stuttered sentences and staring at your notes can come across as unprofessional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Malcolm Gladwell&#8217;s &#8220;10,000 Hour Rule&#8221; as a benchmark for excellence states that 20 hours of practice per week over a decade can make anyone a master in their field. Of course, you can&#8217;t invest that much time, but use this idea as a guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t neglect practicing.
