This is part four of a four-part series on how to make your presentations more interesting. So far, we spent the first couple of weeks cover my seven "impact ideas" which are fun things to add into presentations to jazz them up. 

Last week, we cover audience participation. In that episode I covered a few mistakes that presenters make when they try to get the audience to interact as well as my best secrets to get the audience to open up in a positive way. 

This week, I cover what I call the "Secret Sauce" to a great presentation -- Analogies, Similes, and Metaphors. When you insert this small parts of speech into your presentations, they add flavor and fun. And the more technical your presentation, the more important these things are.

They can make even the most difficult and technical speech easier for the audience to understand.
