Here are three tips to help manage attention during your next presentation:
- If you use PowerPoint, replace text with simple graphics. Your audience can process graphics much faster than text. This is especially helpful with multicultural audiences. Remember, you are the messenger, not PowerPoint.
- Close window blinds to hallways that have people walking by. Some folks can be so nosy!
- Don't hand out stacks of papers until the end of your presentation. If you must hand them out, do so in small chunks so what your saying is in sync with what they are seeing.
