How many times have you been trapped in a boring presentation? How many times have you given a boring presentation? And why are so many presentations boring by the way?

Most people have a deep fear of giving presentations. A negative mindset, coupled with little preparation time, results in boring presentations.

However, when you learn to see the opportunities associated with giving presentations and learn how to prepare for them, you will be able to influence people, share ideas you are excited about, and motivate others.

In this Express to Impress Podcast episode, you will learn how to develop a positive mindset, plan, structure, prepare, and deliver an effective presentation. Your audience will not fidget anxiously or scan their phones from boredom, but be attentive from start to finish. Specifically, you'll discover six steps for creating a high-quality presentation that resonates with your listeners.

At the end of the episode, you'll learn definitions for English idioms and phrases.
