Did you ever want to sleep during a presentation?

When asking people, most of them would agree they would love to. Boring presenters seem to be everywhere. Unfortunately! Here are the strategies of how to become a truly boring presenter:

1. They Talk to Themselves!

Did you ever talk to a mirror? Well, boring presenters kind of do that. They talk to themselves, their preparation sheet, their index cards or their PowerPoint. But they sure as hell don’t talk to the audience, especially NOT about something the audience might be interested in.

2. Their DNA is “BOREDOM”!

Did you ever get some good sleep during a presentation? oring Presenters are naturally boring. They speak with a monotone voice that sends almost everyone in the room to the sleep. And if their presentation were a movie it would be a “still-film”. Good sleep guaranteed!

3. They Talk About the World, But Don’t Get to The Point!

Boring presenters have a lot to tell, but no one gets what they’re really saying. Boring presenters are excellent at confusing the audience with too much data that is linked to only one thing: NOTHING! In the end no one understands the purpose of their presentation and they achieve no result.

4. Their Preparation Sucks!

Boring presenters prepare their presentation often in confusing detail, so that they themselves cannot follow where they’re at in the presentation. Even if they contents is fine, they forgot the most important of all preparations: actual presentation practice of the material.

5. They Main Movement is Their Mouth

Imagine you watched an action movie where all that people do is move their mouth? No too interesting is it? Unfortunately that’s exactly what boring presenters do. They stand and move their mouth. Not their body. Not their hands. Not their stand. Yes, how GREAT: their mouth only.

6. Their Audience Has to “SHUT UP & LISTEN!”

If you met a friend for dinner and s/he told you to just ‘Shut up and listen to me for the next 2 hours’, the person probably wouldn’t be your friend anymore. Boring presenters naturally get you to shut up and listen sometimes for 10 minutes, sometimes for 1 hour, sometimes for 1 day, sometimes for 1 year. It’s time for a change!

7. Their Audience Thinks at the End: “What a waste of time!”

Boring presenters are true naturals when it comes to sending the audience out thinking it wasn’t worth it. After a boring presenters presentation nobody does or thinks different in any way. There is no change. Looking back the audience believes it was a waste of time.

7 1/2 Their PowerPoint Looks Like a Newspaper

Boring presenters are “Power Point Artists”. Their presentations are filled with fill words to fill the whole slide and make it look full. Most audiences respond with excitement to the ‘newspaper-like slides’. At least that’s what boring presenters hope!
