“Shine Online”, our course in presentation training on digital platforms, has been in high demand during this COVID-era.
Keeping you audience engaged is even more difficult on-line than it is on stage. We incorporate the so-called flyswatter method in our training sessions—-the idea that every 17 seconds, you need to “swat” the audience to attention to keep them engaged and make your presentation memorable. Here are some examples of flyswatters:
•Ask a probing or surprising question
•Give a striking fact or statistic
•Express a thought or emotion in real time
•Tell a brief story starting with the words “One day”
•Express an emotional reaction to your story
•Use a concrete, colorful visual image
•Mention an audience member by name
•Refer to something said earlier in the program
•Guess how the audience is responding to you and verbalize it
•Say “here are the one/two/three things I want you to remember”
