what the audience wants - part 2

again the list below is taken from participant work done on my courses.

audience wants the presenter  to be comfortable
audience participation – to feel included
to be with authentic people
to feel comfortable
for the presenter to be conversational
for the presenter to be engaging
eye contact - the ability to look at me
for the presenter to have a sense  of humour
inclusive
informality
interesting
it matters to them and to me
learn something
to feel motivated by the presenter and the connection
relaxed - both the presenter and the audience
some kind of connection
something personal
something real
something relevant
that the presenter is fully here
to find out about who the presenter is - from the presenter - from her/his presence
the audience wants to be comfortable

One thing to notice from that list is no mention of powerpoint.
