What are the key "things" to know about your audience before starting the presentation? @duarte @chrisbrogan #duarte

@cgibbons90 identify how they behave/believe when they arrive at presentation+what you want them to believe/behave when they leave #duarte

RT @nancyduarte: There are many questions to ask to know your audience. What would incite them what would unite them? #duarte

@stevenalowe MLK's speech woudn't be amazing if he had slides. He used words to paint pictures and transitions many times in 16 mins #duarte

As a presenter, stop pretending that you are not a human. OK and endearing to talk about failure. @nancyduarte #duarte #duarte

@nancyduarte @chrisbrogan genius format! - advertise a live event that is recorded, so you can answer questions live on twitter #duarte

Great @nancyduarte webinar re stories & presentations: presenters are mentors BC they provide a gift, tool, or help audience get unstuck.

@nancyduarte Who doesn't look like a dork when they are in Yoda ears except for Yoda himself?

@nancyduarte The true secret ingredient to your excellent presentation is your spirit! Thank you for a great afternoon. #resonate

@chrisbrogan she has a great site. because of this chat i've checked out @nancyduarte services #duarte

The speaker is not the hero - the audience is the hero. Speaker is the mentor, helps hero get unstuck. @nancyduarte #duarte #duarte

Structure your presentation so that your audience feels like they spent an hour with Yoda < love this! @nancyduarte #duarte #duarte
