Talk to or with your audience, not at them. Make it a two-way street. Ask questions, invite interruptions, solicit pertinent stories and anecdotes. Make your audience part of your presentation rather than relegating them to spectator. Size of the audience shouldn’t matter, you can still reach out and they can still respond.
