A great way to be a more engaging and dynamic presenter is to shift your focus away from you and onto your audience instead.

People learn best in a safe and inclusive environment in which they can freely share their experiences, thoughts and opinions with one another.

Ask your audience questions throughout the presentation, and also at the end, in the form of a Question and Answer session.

Also, consider the use of quizzes, polls and surveys, and even the giving of prizes to make things fun and interesting!

People love to hear about each other’s experiences, and to learn from one other.

When you treat your presentation like a conversation, as opposed to a one-way download of facts, figures and information, the members of your audience are excited and happy to get actively involved in your presentation.

I’ve been designing websites for more than 15 years and founded Webby Web Design in Melbourne, Australia. My business and digital strategy background means I approach each project holistically, balancing aesthetics with smart business results. I continue to support clients long after launch with training and advice, which is why many have stayed with me for over a decade. Collaboration is central to my process. I partner with copywriters, graphic designers, photographers and marketing specialists so every site tells the right story and reflects cohesive branding. I also run workshops and provide ongoing training because I believe your website should be easy to use and evolve with your business.
