5 Fun Presentation Skills Facts: 1.11% of people are “Terrified” of delivering a presentation. 7% “Feel Like Superman”. So, the majority of us fall somewhere in between. Not bad! 2.Just like with presentation design, we skew towards thinking we’re a bit better than average at delivering presentations. 3.We’re surprising good at practicing with 64% practicing their presentation at least twice. Good on you! 4.Above all else (designing nice slides, being energetic, funny or well rehearsed), your audience (38%) wants you to tell them a story, not lecture. Point taken! 5.When viewing presentations online, 75% prefer your slides to have voice-over rather than having to read them.

Great presentation about the skills that we need to deliver a successful presentation. I recommend it for watching in the classroom with students as the content is animated and easy to perceive. The presentation subtly asks a question if we sometimes do not overestimate our skills and rely too much on luck.
