Explanation:

Some people like to learn from mistakes. Others prefer to learn by finding out what to do instead of what not to do.

Case in point: Last month, I shared 10 phrases great speakers never say. A number of people emailed saying, "Great, but what should I do?" So I went back to Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten, serial entrepreneur and founder of Twitter Counter and The Next Web, for what you should always do during your presentations:1. Reinforce who you are. At most conferences, you will be introduced, and that introduction should make the audience look forward to hearing your story.

But even though the audience might know something about you, it still makes sense to say a little bit extra about yourself. Don't overload everyone with information, but in one or two sentences explain how your background matters and makes you the perfect person to share what you're about to say.

Framing that makes it easier for people to digest what you are saying is too often overlooked.

2. Help everyone find you. A lot of presentations end with a slide that shows the speaker's name, URL, Twitter handle, and email address.

That slide is usually displayed for about three milliseconds before the projector is switched off. Before people in your audience even have time to reach for a pencil or laptop, your information is gone.

Provide your contact information on the opening screen, and keep it there for a while. (Some people display their name and email address in the footer of every slide, but you might feel that's overkill.) I generally start and close with my Twitter handle (@Boris) and invite people to contact me there.

Bonus tip: When you're in the audience and sense the end of a presentation coming, get your smartphone ready and take a quick snapshot of that last slide. You can write the information down later.

3. Share real stories. People love stories. The best presentations I've seen didn't feel like presentations at all--they were stories told by people with amazing experiences. When you want to explain something to an audience, see if you can translate it into a story, an anecdote, or even a joke. (If you need to convey data or information, tie it to a story.) If the story you tell is something that happened to you, that's even better. If the story is funny, even better!

4. Entertain as much as inform. An often forgotten point: Your job is to, at least in part, entertain the members of your audience. They're taking a break from something else. They've closed their laptops and are focusing on you. Why not reward them with something interesting or funny? Your entire talk doesn't need to be completely on topic. It's fine to start off with something that is beside the point as long as it's entertaining.

Never forget that people will listen more closely to what you have to say when they're having a good time.
