1 Know your audience

Before you start planning your presentation, you need to have a clear idea of who you are talking to, what they expect, and what they need. Research your audience's background, interests, challenges, and goals, and tailor your content and style accordingly. For example, if you are presenting to a technical audience, you can use more jargon and details, but if you are presenting to a general audience, you need to simplify and explain your concepts. Also, consider what kind of questions or feedback they might have, and prepare your answers or responses.

En mis conferencias tengo muy claro que los primeros segundos son fundamentales para "enganchar". Empezar con algo que impliquen acción e incluso interactuación de los participantes es fundamental

2 Craft your story

A good presentation is not just a collection of facts and figures, but a coherent and compelling story that has a clear purpose, structure, and message. Start with a catchy introduction that hooks your audience's attention, establishes your credibility, and states your main idea. Then, develop your main points with supporting evidence, examples, and arguments, using transitions to connect them logically. Finally, end with a powerful conclusion that summarizes your key takeaways, reinforces your message, and calls your audience to action.

Use a cold open. Most likely you’ve already been introduced with your name and title. So don’t start there. In fact, you can start with the conclusion of your talk, or you can start with one of the most counter intuitive insights from your talk, or a thought provoking phrase. Whatever you do start with make it short and then pause, and then dive into your first point. Also, if you do have slides, try to only use pictures and perhaps a word or two. The whole point of a slide is to be a picture not a book.

Incorporar imágenes creadas con inteligencia artificial en tus presentaciones incrementa, y mucho, la visualidad de tu presentación. Como sabréis, con una buena definición, se pueden llegar a crear verdaderas maravillas...

3 Design your slides

Your slides are not your script, but your visual aids that complement and enhance your verbal delivery. They should be simple, clear, and consistent, using minimal text, relevant images, and appropriate colors and fonts. Avoid cluttering your slides with too much information, animation, or decoration, and use bullet points, charts, graphs, or diagrams to illustrate your points. Also, make sure your slides are readable, visible, and aligned with your speech.

4 Practice your delivery

The best way to boost your confidence and improve your performance is to practice your presentation multiple times, preferably in front of a mirror, a camera, or a friend. This will help you refine your content, timing, and pace, as well as your body language, voice, and eye contact. Pay attention to your posture, gestures, facial expressions, and tone, and try to be natural, expressive, and enthusiastic. Also, practice using your slides, notes, or cue cards, and avoid reading from them or memorizing your script.

5 Engage your audience

A killer presentation is not a one-way communication, but a two-way interaction that involves and connects with your audience. To engage your audience, you can use various techniques, such as asking questions, telling stories, sharing anecdotes, using humor, or showing empathy. You can also use polls, surveys, quizzes, or games to get their feedback, opinions, or participation. Moreover, you can encourage them to ask questions, comment, or share their experiences at the end or during your presentation.

6 Handle challenges

No matter how well you prepare and practice, you might encounter some challenges or difficulties during your presentation, such as technical issues, interruptions, distractions, or hostile questions. The key to handle these challenges is to stay calm, positive, and flexible, and to have a backup plan. For example, if your slides fail, you can use your notes, handouts, or whiteboard to continue your presentation. If you face a tough question, you can acknowledge it, clarify it, or defer it to later.

Aún teniéndolo todo controlado, pueden fallar las cosas. En tu preparación, al menos una vez, repasala como si no tuvieras proyector y, por tanto, no tuvieras refuerzo visual de las diapositivas...y así podrás tener claro y reforzar los puntos más destacados

*Be time conscious* Respect people's time by starting on time and keeping the prescribed time. Start with objectives and keep to them. The first 10 minutes of your presentation will determine whether the audience will keep listening to you or they'll switch off. Keep them engaged.
