Less talk – more questions
Less information – but more digestible!

Use the ‘fanfare technique’ to announce key information!
The acoustic signal: Increase audience awareness with an unexpected change!

The summary is THE last chance for your key messages!
Planning ahead is not enough: Let your body do some of the talking!
The right starting routine is key to attracting audience attention and signalizes your control of the situation

The constant underlying question: What does that mean FOR ME?
A case for fast thinkers: Perhaps the key issue is totally different...
Everything is always new for the audience – but not for the presenter
Is it always OK to present a ‘problem’?
An off-the-cuff or an out-off-control statement?

Help – a (possibly ‘loaded’) question!
An unfazed response – despite your nervousness?
A positive attitude is key to making a good start!
