Engaging is a title granted by the listener.

Most people spend most of their preparation time working on their slide deck, handouts, and logistics. But to achieve the type of impact that genuinely engages, you need to learn higher impact skills.

What a great speaker must do is engage people in a dynamic that is highly unnatural: dozens, hundreds, or thousands of eyes and ears all directed at one person, expecting that person to make them happy while they don’t share much of the talking time for long periods of time. It’s not easy. 
 

what makes a great presentation

In order to give yourself the best chance to earn rave reviews, you have to learn how to design your content differently and how to act differently when you’re in front of groups. Presenters who achieve a lot of success with audiences know how to self-manage themselves in ways that others don't. They know how to get engagement, get trust, and get buy-in. And they know how to do this in an unnatural dynamic to a very high degree.
