Stop Boring Your Audience to Death

Overcoming the Challenges of Technical, Financial or Scientific Presentation

We’re often asked, “Is it really possible to make a technical or financial presentation interesting?” The answer we always give is, “Absolutely.” The trick is to apply “boredom fighting” techniques throughout your presentation so that your audience stays engaged and interested.

This session gives you seven great ideas how to combat the boredom problem. We’ll provide lots of examples from real presentations that address how to break through and make data, financial numbers, studies and other facts and figures more interesting. We’ll give you our top four ways to make numbers, no matter what the topic, understandable and interesting. We’ll also share our “So What?” tool that will help you from overwhelming your audience with too much detail and information.

When you leave this session you will have learned:

• 14 powerful attention-getting openers
