    How-To: Give a Dynamic Presentation

    We've all been on the receiving end of a bad presentation: while the speaker drones on, you doodle idly on your notepad, daydreaming about your plans for the weekend and wishing you were doing something more productive. Spare others the same fate when your turn comes at the podium by following these tips.

    I think a presentation is great when the presenter has loose notes vs. a word for word script. When someone reads off of note cards, I tend to zone out. If someone has a loose outline, they are usually more engaging and they come across as more knowledgeable because they don't need to read the information they are presenting on in order to know it.

    The best advice I ever received: tape yourself on video. During presentations, I spoke way too fast, used a lot of "likes" and "you knows", did weird things with my hands and my posture was horrid. Watching myself was a HUGE eye opener
