Sharpening Your Presentation Skills
Author : Etienne Gibbs
Regardless of the nature of our job or social standing, sooner or later we will be called upon to make a presentation of one sort or the other. To sharpen your skills, whet your audience's appetite, and educate them, organize your presentation by keeping them in mind. To help you do just that, here are some tips to consider: * Have an inviting opening. Greet your audience with a statement that conveys your genuine pleasure in seeing them and in being there. * Summarize your main points. Inform your audience from the beginning about the structure of your presentation. When you do, they more likely will follow your presentation until its close. They will, consequently, be better able to follow each successive point as you develop it. * Back your main points with examples, statistics, or facts. Caution: Be careful of overwhelming the audience by turning it into a scientific or technical presentation when presenting to a general audience. * Design simple, yet convincing visuals that your audience can understand and interpret quickly. * End with a strong conclusion that invites your audience to take immediate action or seek follow-up. * Handle questions openly and honestly, admitting when you don't have an answer, but, at the same time, promising to get back to your audience, or the individual, when you do. Follow these tips, and I guarantee that you will see progress in your presentation skills that will lead to successful outcomes. Remember: When you maximize your potential, everyone wins. hen you don't, we all lose. © Etienne A.
