00:00 When you are giving a PowerPoint presentation, it's critical that your focus stays on your audience, the slides, whether they are behind you or in front of you. 00:12 That's for your audience. 00:13 It's not for you. 00:15 You don't want to be these speakers who's sort of turning around. 00:18 All you see is the back of the head and the creases in their jacket. 00:23 You have to focus on your audience if you're focusing on PowerPoint slides, especially if it's a bunch of texts. 00:30 I can tell you exactly what your audience is going to do. 00:34 Do, do. Do, do, do. 00:35 Challenge. Check, email. 00:36 Let's check sports scores. 00:38 Let's check stock price. 00:39 They are going to ignore you. 00:41 It's human nature. If you ignore your audience, they will ignore you. 00:46 So you have to be focused on your audience. 00:49 You need to be giving eye contact at least 95% of the time on members of your audience. 00:55 If you don't do that, you will lose them.
The lecture Strategies for Presentations: Focus in Public Speeches by TJ Walker is from the course PowerPoint Presentations in Public Speaking (EN).
