Here Is the Perfect Length for Your Presentation

TJ Walker argues that a presentation should be exactly as long as it takes to communicate your important ideas. Length isn't fixed by rule, but by what your audience needs to understand and remember.
Chapters
I get two frequent questions and they are linked together. They're related. The first question is tj, how long should my speech or presentation be? The second question is tj, how can I be more concise? I want to be briefer. Briefer. Here's the thing. Your speech needs to be the exact length it takes to communicate the ideas that are important to you. It could be 30 seconds. It could be 10 hours. I've seen speakers hold the attention of the audience from 10am till midnight because he was consistently interesting. I've also seen speakers bore everyone to death and put them to sleep in 30 seconds. So don't focus on some magical link. Instead, just focus on making your idea understood and memorable. And take as much time as you need to do that. As long as it's interesting and relevant to people, they won't mind. You could be longer. You could be as short as this. There, I'm done. Took less than two minutes. By the way. If you want more tips on how to speak more effectively, how to give presentations more effectively, and how to use storytelling to persuade, I have an upcoming webinar you may be interested in.
