5 Presentation Hacks

5 Presentation Hacks

Presentations. You either love 'em or hate 'em, but either way, you have to do 'em.

Why not take them as an opportunity for you to stand out and impress?

?? Tip of the Day

Presentations are a cornerstone to business. Instead of dreading them, embrace them as a way for you to get noticed and make a memorable impression.

1?? Never show text on the slide that you're not ready to talk about.

2?? Mentally prepare your audience for what's to come.

3?? Relatedly... What will you be talking about?

4?? Ask questions to the group so they can reflect, even if rhetorical.

5?? Add visuals. It can be as simple as a GIF or a sticker, depending on your audience.

For more details on each tip, check out my LinkedIn post. And if you're so inclined, leave your own favorite hacks in a comment so others can learn from you, too!

Thanks for reading!
