How to Give a Dynamic Presentation


 "The mind is a wonderful thing. It starts working the minute you're born and never stops working until you get up to speak in public." (Unknown source) 


Presenting information in a engaging and dynamic way is not only more enjoyable for the audience but it also helps them better remember your information!

Here are some quick tips on how to make a presentation more dynamic and more engaging for the audience. 

  • Talk to your audience, not at them   
  • Know your audience! It's important to know who you are talking to so you can gauge what they are interested in and what format to present in.
  • Be excited! Nonverbal communication is crucial when presenting. The audience can tell if you are interested in what you're speaking about!
  • Utilize stories and emotions - this makes you more rateable and more memorable
  • Engage the audience with senses- try to use a couple different learning styles (visual, audio, kinetic). Use music, objects, games ect to keep your audience's attention. A little creativity goes a long way.
  • Eye-contact!! This is very important when presenting. Try not to over rely on PowerPoint or notes
  • Make your presentation interactive. Try switching up your presentation by including some group activities. This is especially useful for students who are in lectures all day long!
  • Conclude with a strong ending. At the end of your presentation make sure to summarize your key points and tie it all together
What are some dynamic presentations you've been to?? Comment below on what made them memorable!
