I try to put myself in the other person’s shoes when developing the presentation, nobody wants to sit through another *womp womp womp womp womp womp* with stale charts and graphs, engagement is key, show me you’re human 🙂 I was very nervous before my last presentation, after months of planning, data entry, and analysis I was sure I would put the room to sleep with my ____(way too many slides). It was a presentation on qualitative data and I felt the need to be very thorough based on the nature of the meeting. The audience members really engaged with almost every single slide and it seemed to tell a story of its own *pats self on the back*. Before heading into the meeting I told myself “I’m going to have a conversation” and I find that when I “psych myself out” this way I am able to engage in much more meaningful dialogue. Thanks for sharing!
