“Now, I can see this slide has got your attention… because you’re getting cameras out to take a picture…”

Sure enough, there was a palpable reaction in the audience.

Because this comment could only be unscripted

It was genuine

It was true (!)

And it was about the audience.

Saw this happen today with a speaker engaging a live audience of 300+ people (I was seated at the back in row 25…)

It was a terrific way to engage the audience. 👍

When you present, notice how people are reacting to you and your content - and, where appropriate, comment! You’re guaranteed their attention as a result…

 I was recently promoted into a role where public speaking and inspiring people has become more central to my ability to be effective. I was amazed by how effective just one session was. I heard indirectly that my presentation had been particularly inspirational - one person even contacted the Director of my organisation to say how impressed he had been. Without any exaggeration, I give all this credit to Simon.
