Be too technical so that no-one understands what you're saying and deliver in a dull, monotonous voice! |

ensure the overuse of the word 'umm' and if you can squeeze in a "ohh, hold on, that wasn't supposed to be there" you're onto a winner |

Don't look at the audience. Develop a fascination with the floor. Head down, round shoulders, limp arms. Stroll around aimlessly and don't forget to mumble unintelligibly. Also make a point of occassionally talking to the wall or whatever behind you with your back to the audience. |

Use lots of 'I can' .. 'We do'.... Its an insight not a sales pitch. I occasionally count (sad, aren't I ?) the number of I/we clauses - the best 4sights have the fewest.

Assume that all venues will have a projector and screen, and don't bother with a backup plan in case they're not available or don't work. |

Once you've written your 4Sight make sure you get the most out of it by booking a slot at every local group. Ideally, keep the audience on their toes by giving it a title and description that has as little relevance as possible to what you'll actually be talking about. |

I've actually gone from loving a 4Sight to personally wanting to strangle the presenter - because I reckon I could probably deliver the 4Sight, as I'm word perfect, having heard it so many times in the previous 3 weeks!!!

These are really funny. Why not shout at people asking them questions they have no idea the answer to but just keep asking them and making them really embarassed! |

Totally irrelevant images on slides helps tremendously. As does getting them in the wrong sequence, clicking to the next image too soon, blatant speeling eroors. Inappropriate or unfunny "jokes" would go down well. and... oh, I'm only supposed to post one. Sorry got a bit carried away. |

The pilot will be at Southampton Evening 4th September
There will be a serious point to it though.

prepare a little video, buy a set of speakers for your laptop from PCWorld the night before just before they close, don't under any circumstances unpack them or try them out, say when all fails: "But the video is really very good." |

Don't rehearse it, just wing it. On the other hand: Write down every word you are going to say on a piece of paper or prompt cards. Stand and read off the cards word for word with no engagement with the audience. If there's a problem with your script, make as big a deal of it as possible. Bonus points for saying things like "sorry I don't know what I'm supposed to be saying next". |

Picking your nose and ears can work wonders for winning over an audience. |
