Patti WoodHere’s an interesting post by Patti Wood, who provides the inside scoop on how to be a great and memorable speaker. She says:

Make the speech about the audience not about you, the content. or data-filled PowerPoint slides. As a presenter, face to face with an audience you have an opportunity to connect with people in a unique way. You can form a relationship with a group, with all its synergy and back and forth flow of questions and ideas. When you connect with an audience you can not only inform them but move them in a way no handout, brochure or manual can. But you must reach out and connect. If you are standing with your back towards your audience reading an endless barrage of detailed slides, you are not creating a magic relationship with your audience.
