To become a compelling presenter, one does not need to rely solely on charisma; instead, focus on connecting with the audience through storytelling and illustrations, as people tend to remember stories better. It is advisable to structure the main message to fit into about 10% of the audience's retention ability and repeat key points in varied ways to reinforce memory. Keeping an ongoing list of potential anecdotes and illustrations is essential for creating relatable and memorable content. Furthermore, recording oneself while speaking can unveil distracting habits and tendencies, helping to refine delivery. Practicing describing objects for a full minute without repeating words enhances word choice and verbal fluency. Such strategies collectively enhance effective communication and audience engagement.
