How I try to make my talks engaging The main goal of this presentation is to identify important aspects of what makes talks engaging and some of the steps I have taken, and think you should also take, to improve a presentation. I will speak about a variety of topics including: storytelling, using your voice, body language & gesticulation, overcoming the fear of presenting, some advice I have been given about making slides, and practicing presentations.
