If you suspect that your audience doesn’t really care about the topic you plan to discuss, how can you generate interest in your presentation?

a. Look for ways to help them relate to the information on a personal level, such as helping the company ensure better job security.

b. Speak louder and, if possible, use lots of sound effects and visual special effects in your presentation.

c. Show your passion for the material by speaking faster than normal and pacing the room in an excited fashion.

d. Show that you care about their feelings by saying up front that you don’t really care about the topic either, but you’ve been assigned to talk about it.
