We begin with passion, which may be the most powerful of all the 7 elements. With it, you are much more likely to captivate your audience and keep them invested in your presentation. Without it, you may find it difficult to connect with them in the same way. That’s because when you have passion it affects everything you do, and your audience can see it and feel it.

It lifts up your tone of voice, opens your body language, increases your energy level, and makes you speak with conviction and confidence. Passion can even help make up for other areas you may be lacking in. If you don’t have a great vocabulary or a natural ability for storytelling, for example, passion can still help you capture the crowd’s attention and deliver an impactful presentation.

Passion is infectious, engaging, and influential.
