One of the lessons I learned was to get better at setting expectations up front. By clarifying what you will and won’t cover, helps folks decide whether they should be there in the first place. That way, you really start off with a more attentive audience.

The other technique I like to do is collect a set of questions ahead of time so that I can do a very targeted talk, focused on solving real questions. The question help me scope and to know what level the audience is at.
