Many speakers use complicated terms or sentences to seem knowledgeable. Yet our brains find it hard to handle statements such as “We aim to achieve an increase in our speed.” Use simple phrases in your presentation: “We want to be faster” has the same meaning and is easier to understand – and as a result, the message is more likely to “stick” in your listeners’ minds.

Tip 120: Keep it simple!

Many speakers focus on figures, data and facts – and forget to involve their audience. Instead, use what are known as “hypnotic filters”:
“What if …”
“Just imagine …”
“Do you remember when …”
This will automatically inspire your listeners’ imaginations and ensure that they are mentally involved. As a result, your audience will remember you as a speaker.
