How do you give a great formal speech? A formal presentation here's the thing. Nobody wants to hear a formal presentation. It may seem formal to you because it's the board of directors or it's a large audience, but the only thing anyone in the audience is thinking is, oh, I hope this person doesn't bore me to death. So forget being formal. No audience member has ever left a big speech or conference hall saying, I love the way that last speaker was really formal. Instead, figure out how to make it interesting, how to make it conversational. Yours will stand out as the best formal speech of the day. Please follow the TJ Walker habit.
