If you had to give one proven method that could be used to gain greater audience impression, what would it be?
Hi Douglas, and many thanks for your question.

One proven method? ...well I would have to say that in my experience perhaps the most reliable method for gaining greater audience impression is to prepare and thoroughly organize your content and presentation prior to your speech.

This may sound like a fairly rudimentary thing to do Douglas, but I promise you, if you want to increase your impression with your audience, then you have to decrease your own lack of continuity, reduce the pauses, the �umm�s�, and the �..err�s�.

A presenter needs to be confident to gain conviction, but the worst presenter for an audience is an overly confident one who put little or no effort into their speech, message, or arguments, believing that because they say something it should be a given.

Many presenters represent high and authoritarian positions in various organizations, and so often come from cultures where their voice is as good as god�s! No arguments, only acceptance.

But for an audience not employed, or directly associated with the presenter, why should they simply buy the presenters arguments simply because he or she tells them too?

Unprepared, and overly confident presenters, lack of continuity of content, and organization, and this itself quickly switches off an audience. And with that switch, any hope of inspiration, motivation, positive impression, or action.

As a communicator, Douglas, try to organize your content in the same way that people "listen". Walk and talk yourself through your arguments. What would a listener be thinking, "What do you want me to do?", "What are my benefits from this?", "Can I really trust what you�re telling me?".

If you want to gain greater audience impression Douglas, begin by respecting them as individuals, take the time and make the effort to organize your content so that you are able to improve its consistency, relevance and flow.

I hope this helps Douglas, I certainly believe that even the most spontaneous of events are often most thoroughly rehearsed, which is what gives them such a sense of believability, and isn�t that we as presenters are doing? Making our audience believe in our words, our thoughts, our arguments, and most importantly, in us.

Hi Michael, I've been trying to figure out how to "hide" slides in PowerPoint. Can you help me?
A common question Rachel, but of course a very relevant one :)

Often in creating a PowerPoint presentation we want to build one presentation that we can use towards many different target groups.

Depending on the group, various slides will be included or omitted (hidden) from the presentation.

The simplest way is to include all slides Rachel, and then omit the ones you wish.

To omit a slide from your PowerPoint presentation:
  1. Select Slide Sorter from the View main menu option.

  2. Click on the slide that you want to hide.

  3. Select Slide Show from the main menu toolbar.

  4. Click on Hide Slide, and the slide will now be hidden.

Simply go through your presentation repeating the process for any additional slides that you�d like to �hide� Rachel.
