This was definitely helpful I'd say.

I'ts important to be able to make good presentations. One would expect that designers would be good at that, but apparently they aren't for the most part. 'Designers should arouse the audience, not merely incite'.

The different guidlines are helfpul in making the experience more engaging for the audience:

.showing a 'map' of what you're going to talk about – a thesis statement.

.utilize your strengths - play down your weaknesses. (i.e. if you don't talk much, use visuals).

.keep the audience guessing.

.incorperate different ways of speaking.

.edit. use critical insight.

.use humor when possible and appropriate.

.don't let the audience be stuck in the same thought for too long.

.speak rather than read. or if you read, don't let it be evident. - let the audience read aswell. That is another way to engage.

.make it obvious when the end is going to be.
