No More Boring Presentations with Ivan Wanis Ruiz

Ivan is a communication maverick and international speaker, renowned for his book End Boring: A Tactical Approach to Public Speaking and Communication.

With over 15 years of experience, Ivan founded Public Speaking Lab to revolutionise communication skills training. Drawing from neuroscience, stand-up comedy, and police interrogation techniques, he has trained over half a million people worldwide.

We talk about body language, eye contact, the belly button rule, slides all with an end goal of helping ensure you don’t deliver a boring presentation

We talked about the three traps that presenters fall into firstly formality, secondly speaking in the third person and thirdly too many details.

Ivan’s Top tip number one is practice where people can see you which could be a cafeteria or a park bench or even before you go live and when people are arriving at the conference or event venue

Top tip number two is if you're delivering a technical presentation with quite a bit of detail every third or fourth slide simply put in a picture with no words on the slide and introduce it either as a precursor to what you have just been talking about or as an introduction to the information you're going to about to share on the following few minutes

This episode goes out on November 5th.

Presidential election day in the US

Bonfire night in the UK

In the UK we say Remember, Remember the 5th of November.

The 5th of November in question was the one in 1605. A bunch of people plotted to blow up King James 1 who was attending the House of Lords as part of the State Opening of Parliament. The plot was discovered just in time following a tip off.

One of the gang was Guido Fawkes. Guy Fawkes has become the name most associated with the plot. Effigies of him are burnt on bonfires and fireworks lit on November 5th.

So on the theme of Remember, Remember here are 10 things you need to remember when presenting:

1. Remember your presentation is about your audience not you
2. Remember to arrive early when presenting in person or virtually
3. Remember to check in advance the equipment such as screen size that will be available to you
4. Remember to take practise seriously
5. Remember if you forget something during the presentation only you will know
6. Remember your audience are keen to learn from you - you know your stuff that’s why you’ve been asked to present
7. Remember to be yourself
8. Remember to have a glass of water handy should you need it
9. Remember to empty your pockets and get rid of lanyards etc…
10. Remember to enjoy presenting!
