Many Presenters Finish With a Q&A

Many presenters finish with a Q&A session.

I suggest that you don’t!

Why? Because your previous last impression is hamstrung by the question, which could be a stinker.

Or simply unrelated to your core purpose.

Finish strong on your terms - your primary message, the next step you’d like the audience to take or consider.

That way, you’re more likely to drive positive change… which is what effective presenting is all about.

Simon led by example and provided clear tips on structure, inserting words, leading with stories and stance. Now I can sense the distinct uptick in engagement in a room of diverse nationalities and backgrounds... prepare more comfortably around my key messages and theme.
