1. How often do you give presentations in your job?
2. Who do you normally present to? (colleagues, boss, customers, other firms...)
3. When was the last time you gave a presentation in English? Was it successful? If yes, why? If not, why was it so?
4. How do you feel about presenting in foreign language?
5. Think of an excellent (or terrible) presentation you have attended to. What made it so good (or bad)?

1. Use Silence

Most people won't be able to pull this off very easily, but if you are feeling like a rockstar during your next presentation, opt for silence. Say a few words then be quiet. Say a few more words then be quiet. It's a quick and easy way to own the room. Just make sure you can hold your composure.

2. Point to
the Future or Past

I have two simple statements for you:

-Prospective (looking to the future):
"30 Years from now, your job won't exist."

-Retrospective (looking to the past):
"In 1970, Japan owned 9% of the market. Today, they own 37%."

The reality is that looking into the future or past always sparks engagement since that's where our hearts live.

3. Quote Someone

The easiest way to open a talk is simply to quote someone. Think about that last presenter you heard when they opened their talk with a quote from Albert Einstein or Napoleon. A quote equals instant credibility.

4. Share Something Extraordinary

I don't know about you, but I love Snapple. Even more so , I love their bottle caps since they always share fun facts or extraordinary insight into ordinary things. Is my life going to be improved because I know how many times a bee's wings flaps in a second? No. Is it crazy interesting? Yes.

5. Tell a Story

Here's the amazing thing about stories: If your presentation is based solely on facts and stats then your audience is going to react in one of two ways: 1) agree or 2) disagree. However, if you tell a story, your audience will participate with you. Still not sold? Stories have been known to increase audience retention by up to 26%.
