????4. It's not all about the work. "The best presentations draw people in and make an emotional connection between the speaker and the audience," says O'Brien. "You'll be much more engaging and memorable if you tell a funny story or share a favorite quote, talk a bit about yourself and reveal a little of who you are outside the office."

????You don't want to overdo this, of course, but handled right, it can be riveting. For proof, check out Sheryl Sandberg's famous 2010 TED talk (the one that led to her writing Lean In). Sandberg's frankness and self-deprecating humor carries it -- and without a PowerPoint slide in sight.

????5. Break through the "fourth wall." Ever take a course in college where you never knew when the instructor was going to call on you, out of the blue, and expect some intelligent comment? It's a time-honored technique for keeping an audience on its toes, since no one wants to be caught napping (literally or metaphorically), and it works for speeches, too.

????Some expert speakers, like former GE (GE) chief Jack Welch, have made use of Twitter to let audience members Tweet a constant stream of questions and comments, which Welch then addresses in real time. It's not a technique for the faint of heart, but it does keep people's attention from wandering. These days, that's no small feat.
