Top 10 Worst Presentation Tips


Following are the top 10 tips our clients told us they received from prior training or schooling.  

***WARNING***  Using these tips will assure you of a lousy presentation!


  1. Look just above the heads of the audience - do NOT look them in the eye.
  2. Memorize your presentation.
  3. Do NOT talk with your hands, it will be too distracting.
  4. Tell a good joke to warm up the audience.
  5. Stand still to appear confident - avoid moving.
  6. After you receive a question, say "Good Question" before you answer.
  7. Make sure you smile often in all your presentations.
  8. Saying "um" or "uh" will make you sound thoughtful.
  9. Do NOT have notes near you when you present - you will look unprepared.
  10. Using a lazer pointer is a great way to lead your audience through a slide.
