The curator of Ted Talk, Chris Anderson, says that you should imagine a class of 6-year-olds. Quite surprising!

Presentation tip

How does simplifying your presentation benefit your audience?

How do you ensure that everyone stays on track? Avoid leaving you alone to speake and throw out a line: dare to ask questions and let your listeners first take a gamble on the right answer.

 

An example: do you have a new insight, fact or figure? Then make a slide with a question. Below that, place an A or B or C answer. First, let your audience guess for the right answer. Do you want to know the opinion of your audience about a topic? Then make a poll, give three options and let your listeners vote via the chat function. To stimulate the dynamics of your conversation, you can also ask rhetorical questions. For example, before you tell a new idea, you might ask, "Do you want to hear something new?"

 

Research shows that your presentation sticks better if your audience can think along. After all, an active brain remembers better.
