Interact with Your Audience
The more you can build interactivity into to your presentation, the more people will feel it’s customized just for them, and it will resonate longer. --Holly Thomas
Ask questions of your audience, take a poll that relates to your topic, do something to get people to raise their hands, speak aloud and get more involved. Thomas often starts by taking a short poll so she knows something about her audience--and they know more about each other. “The more you can build interactivity into to your presentation, the more people will feel it’s customized just for them, and it will resonate longer.”
