How not to have people fall asleep in your presentation

We’ve all had those presentations where you feel like you’d rather put big, sharp objects in your ears and pins in your eyes than having to put up with the rest of the presentation.

Yes, that might sound graphic, but you know exactly what I’m talking about. Those presentations that drag on that enable you to capture a little more sleep that you might have been missing out on from the previous week.

Good news is that it doesn’t need to be that way and I’ve given some simple tips and tricks that you can implement right now to ensure that you maintain everyone’s interest, improve engagement and ensure that your participants don’t fall asleep in your presentation like myself and my colleagues just did during one we recently attended.
