How to Create an Interactive Presentation That Engages Your Audience

---

When giving a presentation, one of the worst things you can look out at your audience to see is glossed over eyes and people on their phones.

You want your audience to be engaged and enthusiastic about your presentation, especially if you're giving a sales or marketing presentation or teaching a class about a topic.

The best way to ensure your audience is always paying attention and highly engaged with the content is to create an interactive presentation.

This means you add elements into your slides or into the way you present that encourage audience participation or at the very least make your slideshow more than just a bunch of words and pictures on a screen.

Follow along with all of the ways to create an interactive presentation that we cover in this video:
0:00 Intro
00:50 Start With An Icebreaker
1:36 Use Video Clips
2:09 Make Your Presentation Non-Linear
