How can I tailor my presentations for various speaking opportunities and platforms?

Historically, Russel H Conwell, Founder of Temple University is said to be the best presenter tailoring as per audience.

He spoke the same speech on crowdfunding 6152 times - a record.

‘Acres of Diamond’ is a viral speech and it has a book by the same name.

But here is the catch, the audience was different all the time.

The context of the talk was the same but the content of the talk was different every time.

Demographic sense and people sense are crucial for you to make effective tailor-made presentations.

I have seen the level of thinking and state of mind of your audience play a vital role in adding to a tailored presentation.

The best practice I try to follow is reaching the presentation venue a day before, clicking some pictures of the best things I notice which audience relates, and adding them to their main presentation. This gives them the edge on audience comfort and engagement.

I remember including my horse riding picture and eating fish on the sea-side hotel to one of my presentations while I was in Chennai for a keynote. It helped.

?Here are a few points to remember;

While tailoring your presentation for different platforms, check platform type, audio, and video availability, check audience type, background of audience, lifestyle, psychology, habits, and behaviors, add visually appealing graphics, add sound if applicable, and small video clips to create value. Some of the best presenters use it regularly to impact and influence the audience.
