(gently chiming bells) You may be wondering how can I take my virtual presentation to the next level? How can I really stimulate my audience? You can do so by surprising your audience and by emulating experts who have created successful presentations themselves, here's how. Surprising your audience is possible when you deliver something they didn't see coming. It can be something that grabs your audience throughout the presentation, such as the use of eye-catching visuals or audio supplements rather than exclusively delivering information verbally. It's important to only use the element of surprise when it's relevant to your topic. Don't go overboard trying to impress people because you risk straying from the topic or even distracting your audience. You can also teach your audience something new or connect ideas that they never knew were related. This is more straightforward than trying to surprise your audience. It simply involves delivering a key data point or an illuminating analogy at just the right moment.
