what are the boredom factors of presentation?

Answer 1

Things that bore me are disinterested presenters and people who create detailed powerpoint slides and then just read from the slides

People don't like to read a lot of words, so you should just have short bullet points for each main idea you'll talk about. I've heard that the rule of thumb is at least one minute of talking per slide.

Pictures are good, even graphs are good, as long as they are meaningful and easy to see at a glance what they mean.

Speak to your audience - don't talk over their heads, and don't tell them too much info that they already know (however, it's good to start with something everyone knows and build from there).

Some people pepper their talks with jokes and funny cartoons. Don't do too much of this, and if your delivery/timing sucks, don't do it at all.

People are much less likely to be bored if they are actively engaged in the talk - can you ask them questions during the talk? I've seen it done very effectively.

Practice what you say, and trim the extraneous stuff. You may find the 10 minutes of describing the exact shade of burgundy for your new office walls to be a fascinating discussion, but no one else will.

Answer 2

Too much talk about nuances. Give me the highlights and move fast.

Too many goofy slides or other presentation items that don't make sense or have poor quality.

Answer 3

If you are the one giving the presentation you should make sure to make eye contact with your audience. Try not to speak in a monotone voice, and be sure to enunciate your words. Also, if you have a visual aid it helps people to pay attention more.
