Information doesn't excite your audience
Speak Schmeak
OCTOBER 17, 2014
He told me he''s afraid that if he doesn''t give enough information, the audience won''t be as excited as he is. But for now, let''s just address this issue of giving a ton of information so people will get excited. Do people get excited from information? Information has never excited an audience, I''m sorry to say. All information does is overwhelm your audience. It makes their brain freeze up and stop accepting new information.
The difference between a persuasive and an informative presentation

One of my favorite radio programs is On The Media on NPR. I especially like how On The Media describes what they are. They state that they "explores how the media 'sausage' is made." " Essentially, they make sure that what the media is covering is honest, transparent and correct. In this weekend's episode , they take a peering eye at conspiracy theories and the eulogy of Walter Cronkite.

7 and a Half Ways to Make Your Information Matter

JUNE 24, 2015
If you're a regular person with a regular job living a regular life, chances are the only times you get asked to speak is to share straight information. Sales data, new product information, company reports - if you're lucky maybe training for new employees, or teaching new technology to the current staff. Even client sales presentations, if you aren't careful, can become massive information dumps. Information isn't inherently bad.

There could have been an information gap at the retailers. Orange juice and PCs don't mix well. Sure, I held out hope that the PC would dry out and be functioning again. But, from experience and internet research I knew that was unlikely. PCs can bounce back from other kinds of spills such as water.

Too much (personal) information
Speak Schmeak
MARCH 10, 2008
Some speakers and performers have a tendency to give too much information; I recognize this because I'm one of them. I mentioned last week that we saw Rufus Wainwright on Thursday night. Julianna Raye was the opening performer, singing a bossa nova-inspired set from her new CD. Singers often talk between songs, telling stories about their inspiration, or just entertaining the crowd. Sometimes a singer seems to talk more to cover up an awkward silence than to enhance the show.
Time vs. information

Once she has an idea of how long each section should take, based on what the audience really wants and needs to know and based on the data she chooses, then she can refine it by taking out entire sections or shortening the less important ones to make more time for the more critical information.

Yes you can present mountains of information. Choose the pieces of information that will be of most use to them. Yes you are an expert in your field. But it will not impress your audience, nor will it create an impact … unless you make it relevant. Make it relevant to your audience. How will it solve their problems? How will it make life better or more profitable? Each piece of data or fact should be couched in a point about its usefulness.

With information overload being the number one issue for audiences today, how can presenters better organize their information so it is easier to understand? The problem is that this assumes that the audience can remember all the points across multiple slides and put all of the information together to figure out the message. A much better way to organize the information is in a comparison table. Organize your information into two parts.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2018
In all mediums - digital, print, video, in-person - they are putting out there information and, yes, evidence of how smart they are. The glut of just about everything has thrown many otherwise savvy sellers off their games.

Instead, those struggling to sell services, products, ideas, and causes should be hammering results.
