Tip #17: Make Your Bullets Audience Focused (Give them a Reason to Keep Listening) | 30 Public Speaking Tips Nov 17, 2025

Show notes

Welcome to 30 Tips in 30 Days! Over the entire month of November, I will be releasing a short, bite sized episode of Fearless Presentations every morning covering things that are absolutely essential to being a better presenter.

Kind of building off the tip from yesterday, you don't want to just limit your points down to only a few, you also want to make sure they are audience focused. Having a confusing or boringly basic point is a sure-fire way to making your audience rapidly uninterested.

Keep you points easy to convey, short and to the point, but not so broad that everyone's left confused and audience retention will quickly improve.

Tip #16: Limit Your Content to 5 or Fewer Main Points | 30 Public Speaking Tips Nov 16, 2025

Show notes

Getting the audience to remember much from a presentation (especially a really long presentation) is incredibly hard. Giving audiences a huge list of points to remember and hone in on is even more-so fighting a losing battle.

Limiting yourself to 5 or fewer points ensures that people can reliably remember everything, aren't overwhelmed, and each point has a proper amount of substance to it.

Tip #15: Make Your Title Audience Focused | 30 Public Speaking Tips Nov 15, 2025

Show notes

The title of your presentation is the very first checkpoint your audience goes through of deciding whether or not they're interested in hearing what you have to say. If you give them something super vague, general, or even hyper specific it's very likely that you'll lose them before you even start talking cause they'll start off confused.

Make your title something that gives the entire concept of the presentation while still allowing enough room for the details of the presentation to fill in the gaps.

Tip #14: Create Different Versions of Your Story (for Time) | 30 Public Speaking Tips Nov 14, 2025

Show notes

Not all speeches are the same amount of time, but that doesn't mean you can't make all of your stories work each for them. Finding different ways to convey the same information in more and less time without sacrificing any content or making the whole thing drag is a vital skill for new speakers.

Learning to develop it through making different length versions of the same story is a great way to train that.

Tip #13: End Your Story with an Action/Benefit Statement. | 30 Public Speaking Tips Nov 13, 2025

Show notes

We use these stories for a very specific reason. Stories in a presentation are not just there for speech dressing to make it more fun, they are there because they also need to convey something necessary.

With the end of the story being the moment that the most people will be captivated (they've already sat through the whole thing, might as well hear out the end), that is the moment that you need to be putting the mean that matters the most to your presentation. In almost all cases, that's an action or benefit statement.

Tip #12: Build up to a Climax (Turning Point) in Your Story | 30 Public Speaking Tips Nov 12, 2025

Show notes

Stories are all about captivating the audience and then conveying information through that captivation. The problem comes if the story that you are telling isn't even captivating to begin with.

One of the safest ways to ensure that a story, even with subpar detailing or energy, is captivating, is to make it feel like it's building to something. Even a good story with a nothing, rushed ending is disappointing, so making sure you are building to something is vital.

Tip #9: Have a Clear Point in Mind Before Practicing Your Story | 30 Public Speaking Tips Nov 09, 2025

Show notes

As we learned in the tip yesterday, stories can be one of the most powerful tools in a speakers tool belt. However, it's completely possible to make a story hurt your presentation.

Even if the story is told well, if it's not at all related or able to be related back to the point of your presentation, it can leave everyone even more confused and uninterested than they would have been without the story. So make sure to go into every story with a clear point and a clear way to connect it back to your general presentation.

Tip #8: Become a Great Storyteller | 30 Public Speaking Tips Nov 08, 2025

Show notes

One of the absolute most powerful tools in a public speakers tool belt is the story. There's nothing that incites us, keeps us engaged, like a good story. Even if the presentation is over a topic that really interests us, just showing graphs, stats, and data won't keep anyone's attention for long.

Learning how to communicate everything in the form of a story (and a good story at that) is one of the absolute fastest ways to start excelling as a presenter.
