Put science in your talk and impress your audience, I always thought so. Hence, the most interesting talks are the ones that teach us something.
Yet some speakers are focusing too much on the content rather than on their audience. Therefore they become boring and unpopular. But there are no boring subjects, only boring speakers.
Moreover, there are times that we need to give a speech without any visual aid, like slides or videos.
An effective speaker knows that the success or failure of his talk is not for him to decide - it will be decided in the minds and hearts of his hearers.
Dale Carnegie

Moreover, these must-dos will illustrate your talk’s highlights in an understandable way.
I always think a great speaker convinces us not by force of reasoning, but because he is visibly enjoying the beliefs he wants us to accept.
