This is part two of a four-part series on how to make your presentations more interesting. If you recall, last week, I mentioned that there are two major components of a fantastic speech. 

First, you have to have good content that the audience wants or needs to hear. And second -- and this is the part that many presenters overlook -- you have to have entertainment value in your presentation.

You can have great content, but if your content is boring, no one will really hear you. So, last week, we covered a few "impact ideas" that you can use to spice up your presentation.

This week, I show you a few simple ideas about how to build credibility by name dropping -- no it probably isn't what you think. I will also show you how to use non-PowerPoint visual aids. And finally, we'll get you to add a little showmanship to your presentations.

Then, in the next couple of weeks, I'll cover audience participation and analogies. These final two impact ideas are really important if you want to be a great presenter.
