Ways to Enliven your Presentations 
1. Increase you own energy to present from an energized state
2. Break patterns - before and during the presentation
3. Expand out of the norm (in inflection, movement, tone, etc.)
4. Change your own uncertainty to discovery; interest into fascination
5. Be willing to feel uncomfortable as you change you habit and hone your new skill
6. Speak from your passion or something you are learning that is new to you
7. Involve the audience – they are part of the journey
Integrate "right brain" multi-sensory methods with the more conventional "left brain" processes to support your points and bring your message to life
- Visual: pictures/graphics/colors/conceptual models/visual words
- Kinesthetic: movement/body use/feeling words
- Auditory: music/vocal changes/listening words
- Metaphors and Analogies
- Sensory descriptions: sight, sound, touch, taste, smell descriptors
- Both thinking and feeling words and images
- Storytelling/poetry/myth
- Games/improvisation
- Interactive experience with the audience
