How do you present a boring topic?

Question

Accepted Answer

When you begin your presentation with a veiled apology like, “this is pretty dry stuff,” or sarcasm like, “I’m sure you’re dying to know about this,” you not only lose credibility, but your disclaimers are often self-fulfilling. If you truly believe your material will bore people, you might end up rushing through the presentation and making awkward jokes. You imply, “Sorry to put you through this—I think my presentation is boring, too!” This is incredibly disenchanting for your audience. If you’re not interested in your presentation, why should we be? Fortunately, you can turn any presentation around with the right approach. With a little effort, your audience will be engaged and responsive.
