Introduction
 Getting your presentation equipment working is one part of giving an effective,
persuasive and professional presentation.

 Oral communication skills and a thorough understanding of the topics we present

are essential to make the most of our presentation.

 Here are 10 tips to improve our presentation skills that will put us on the right
path to becoming a master presenter.
10 WAYS TO
IMPROVE
PRESENTATION
1.Pratice
 Presentation is about performance as well as content.

 . Practice our presentation over and over,doing a full run-through from start to

finish until we feel confident.

2.Come prepared with materials
 A very useful but rarely used tool in presentation software is the speaker note
feature.

 Doing so will help us in case we get lost or need to expand further beyond the
outline of the slide.

 We can also carry flashcards with our speech points to help direct our
presentation.
3.Know how to use presentation
equipment
 Be sure to take the time to check out the equipment in the meeting room before
our presentation.

 If a wireless screen sharing connection is not available, make sure we gather any
extra dongles or cords we need and set them up before our customers or
colleagues arrive.
4.Anticipate question
 Almost every presentation ends with a Question and Answer session between the
presenter and the audience.

 The best presenters will anticipate the most important questions before they are
asked and should already have a few extra slides to answer them.

 Think of the questions that are most relevant to them.

5.Slow down
 we start rehearsing our presentation, try recording ourselves and Share to observe
our timing and rhythm.

 Whether due to anxiety, time pressure or excessive excitement, it is a presentation

habit to start speaking faster and present at a faster pace than it should.
6.Visualize how you want to present
 This is the classic practice method of “fake until we succeed”.

 Imagine ourselves as calm and quiet presenters, using hand gestures and making
eye contact with our colleagues.
7.Minimize distractions
 Remove any background apps and turn off notifications before we start our
presentation to avoid any interruptions.

 If we're in a video call, use the moderator controls to mute anyone in the call who
creates unnecessary background noise.
8.Channel your inner cheerleader
 It’s easy to be our own worst critic - oppose that instinct and be our greatest
cheerleader.

 No one can present our own ideas better than we can, and we’ve probably
practiced this enough to know it like the back of our hands - so use it fully and
trust ourselves.
9.Loosen up
 Use body language, combine natural hand gestures and make eye contact so we
look genuine and can be linked.

 Stand up straight, but make sure we relax, and don’t strain our muscles.
10.Learn from others
 Watch our colleagues and managers to see how they present.

 Notice how they engage their audience and take note of anything that works.

 Analysis of their errors, especially if these errors make it difficult to understand

their presentation.
Conclusion
 Being great at public speaking is not easy but with the right technology and the
right set of minds, we can be the presenters we always thought we could be.

 If we are planning a virtual presentation, see my tips on delivering it.
