If You Don't Want Your Audience to Ignore Your PowerPoint, Do This

When you are delivering a PowerPoint presentation 90 to 95 percent of the time you should be looking directly at individual audience members.

If you’re looking at the screen it means you didn’t prepare means either you have awful slides or you didn’t prepare the right way or you didn’t have notes.

Structure the right way and you’re practically inviting your audience to fall asleep or check their email.

You need to be looking at them to see are they getting it.

Does it make sense.

They look confused.

They have a question you need to be reading your audience at all times so your eyes should be focused on your audience not your slides and certainly not reading a full script fine to glance down occasionally at a single sheet of notes.
