Introduction
When delivering a presentation, are you able to keep the audience 
engaged and awake? Are you (and your presentation) interesting 
enough to keep them from looking at their mobile devices? Or is there a 
danger of being heckled? Bear in mind that heckling can come in many 
forms — someone falling asleep is just as much heckling as somebody 
interrupting you. Do you have a fear of standing in front of an audience 
and delivering a presentation? Do you worry that you won’t be seen as a 
subject-matter expert?

Many people have a fear of public speaking. As 
Jerry Seinfeld said: “... speaking in front of a crowd 
is considered the number one fear of the average 
person.” A
 Forbes
survey produced a list of the top 
nine fears:
1. 
Public speaking 
2. 
Crowds 
3. 
Bridges 
4. 
Enclosed spaces 
5.
Storms 
6. 
Public transportation 
7. 
Water 
8. 
Heights 
9. 
Creatures (snakes, insects and rodents)
Public speaking was the No. 1 fear, yet the other eight 
are things that actually could do you harm. Despite 
the way many speakers might feel, no one has died 
from public speaking.
The best way to overcome the fear of public speaking 
is through preparation. The better you prepare, 
the more confident you will be in delivering your 
presentation. You want to be prepared in such a way 
that you feel you’re having a conversation with the 
audience, rather than sounding like a robot giving a 
memorised presentation.
Presentations can be boring. Financial presentations 
are especially prone to being dull, particularly when 
someone rattles off figure after figure after figure. 
Think back to your school days: Did you ever have a 
teacher who read from slides, spoke monotonously 
and put you to sleep in the first five minutes? If you 
have seen the movie ”Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” you 
probably remember the scene where Ben Stein plays 
the teacher giving a boring lecture on history and 
none of the students are paying attention. He asks 
a question. No one answers, so he says, “anyone, 
anyone?” and keeps on going. Remember the looks 
on the students’ faces? Are you in danger of getting 
the same looks?
If you want to engage your audience, present 
financial information with impact and give an 
altogether great presentation, you’ll need to follow 
these six rules:
1. 
It’s all about the audience. 
2. 
Let go of the need for perfection. 
3. 
Grab the audience’s attention. 
4. 
Tell the story behind the numbers. 
5. 
Use pictures to enhance the data. 
6. 
Simplify.
