At our workplace we recently screened the film The Opus. This is the film that many people are calling the sequel to The Secret. I found this film to be a very pleasant experience. It was far more practical for me than the Secret was and I really enjoyed it. Shortly after we contacted the films producer, North America's achievement Expert Douglas Vermeeren and we will be bringing him in for a

Interesting read. I follow most of the things to make my presentation lively and interesting. But what if as a presenter am not satisfied with my own presentation? Although am thorough with the content, I get nervous when facing a larger crowd, I've stage fright,can anyboidy suggest how to over this?

I loved the idea from "Turn Back Time". What a great idea to get people involved. One other thing about poweroint that drives me crzay...people cram too much on a powerpoint or put graphs up that no one can read. I love having a station where I can see if the slide has change, otherwise, I feel like a bobble head looking back at the screen to make sure the slide changed "just in case". Never

Kieran's comment reminds me of another point.
The presentation should address different types of learners present in the room - visual, auditory and kinesthetic.
Hence, images, video and sound addresses the visual and the auditory learners; and the use of any kind of physical movement, use of props, excercises etc should address the kinesthetic learners.
We should ideally look at a

Great list, particularly for presenting in warm weather after lunch. A couple of extra points we've noticed:
Don't try to use long words to make your presentation seem more intellegent, it has the opposite effect.

Great ideas. I only have one to add to the list:
* Use images, video and audio that illustrate your point and replace "text" on screen with media when possible. Here's an example I stumbled upon recently. Turn Back Time. It uses music to make the facts memorable. You could use the same concept to make your

Hi Heather/Jenna, that was an interesting read. Many times we tend to forget that as presenters, we might be wide awake, bubbling with energy, but our audience too needs their dose of energy; a lack of which causes 'death by powerpoint'!
And that energy comes from things like engaging in a 2 way interaction with your audience and use of friendly humor (thats one of my personal favorites and
