PRESENTATION SKILLS
It is a process of presenting the content of a topic to an audience
consisting of one or more persons, it utilizes some visual aid
generally a power point file containing all the slides for a given
speech.
BASIC STEPS IN MAKING EFFECTIVE PRESENTATATIONS
1.Formulating a Strategy-critical to know the purpose of
communication
Knowing the audience and expectations of the audience is very
important to decide what and how to present.
Tailor your presentation to the audience according to their
needs, desires, knowledge level and attitude towards the topic.
Be specific, practical and relevant.
Be clear about your objective-is it to motivate, inform, teach?
Research your topic thoroughly.
2.Developing a flexible and flowing structure-Once you know what
you want to say, you need to organize all the information in a
structured manner.
Incorporate visual aids effectively- graphs, pictures etc.
Prepare for contingencies-practice your presentation-rehearse.
Think about what might happen and prepare-what if the
overhead bulb blows out? or what if there is an unexpected
question?
3.Presentation Style -Presentation style and personal confidence are
as important as the actual content of the presentation itself.
Organizing your ideas is one important task.
Other important task is to gain and maintain the attention of
the audience.
Pay attention to posture and tone.
Your audience will mirror your attitude -radiate confidence
without preaching.
