Are You Ruining Your Presentations?

Why presentations fail

1. Using your presentation as your acting debut
2. Being unprepared – lack of knowledge of the content of the presentation
3. No clear point to the presentation – talking too much and taking a long time to get your message across
4. Information dumps – too much information
5. Gimmicks, clichés and technical jargon
6. A cardinal mistake is not knowing your audience
   1. Lack of rapport and connection with your audience
   2. Not encouraging questions
   3. No involvement of the audience
   4. Not taking the audience on a journey through your presentation and content
7. Reciting your presentation
8. Lack of flexibility
9. Not grabbing attention and creating interest at the start of the presentation
10. No clear closing and call to action
11. Visuals are the most dangerous part of your presentation
    1. Depending too much on your visuals
    2. Too much reading
    3. Boring visuals
    4. Complicated slides with too many graphs and tables
    5. Too many slides
