Secret #5 Their Major Gesture is Moving their Mouth
Imagine going to the cinema and watching anentire
feature film were most of the time all thecharacters
do is talk (I mean, literally just movetheir mouthes)?
That would be a painful experience.
Unfortunately, that’s exactly the kind of experience
Boring Presenters give you.
They stand in one spot (usually behind a podium) and
move their mouth. Barely a gesture, no walking around
the stage and certainly no smile!
Would you enjoy dinner with your friend if they’d asked
you to “shut up and listen to me forthe next 90 minutes”?
It would probably be your last dinner together.
Boring presenters want you to shut up and listen.
It doesn’t matter if its a 30 minute or 4 hour presentation.
Just sit down, shut up. and listen. But they often reward
your patience with some Q&A. By then, no one dares to ask
a question in casethey have to listen for another 10 minutes!
