Everything comes into an end, and after reading this article,
your fear of presenting a presentation will be over. You will be forced to do a
presentation at school, college and even at work for many times or at least one
time. Taking the following advises and tips will help you to be a better
presenter.
Consider that having enough time is very
sufficient; you must have to collect data, checking grammar, reading, editing, memorizing
and practice… practice… practice.
Preparing
the Presentation.
The Content: selecting the topic of the presentation could
be the hardest part (if it is of your choice). Select a topic of your interest
that you can present it in an understandable way. Make your topic specific,
talk about one idea from different prospective. It must be suitable for your
audience`s level. Avoid copy past in the article, put effort on collecting the
data and reordering them.
Vocabulary and
Grammar: Choose easy vocabulary that you can remember and to avoid grammatical
errors turn on the auto corrector on Microsoft Word or use Grammarly site (https://www.grammarly.com/)
Pronunciation: Spell the words clearly. Use google
translator to know how to say the new words, as it gives the accurate
pronunciation mostly, you can use your supervisor`s and friends` help too.
Body Language: Don`t stand as a stand. Move, walk, use
your hands but not overly and give eye contact.
Time: Presenting for more than 8 minutes can be
VERY boring for your audience, 3 minutes will not be helpful 4 to 5 minutes is
the best. Use your phone recorder to know the time you need (present while
recording when you practice).
Visuals and
Prints: Use appropriate pictures, videos, power point, brochures, cards,
handouts and other visuals and prints that truly reflect the topic. Must be
organized, colorful, well designed, provides enough details, with effective
headlines, and presented in the exact time. Use the bullets and the rule of 6 ×
6 in PowerPoint slides (no more than six words per line, and no more than six lines
per slide).
Preparing
the Presentation`s Content.
Any
presentation content contains introduction, body and conclusion. It is like
tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them, and paraphrase what you
have told them.
The Introduction.
Prepare Your Audience: Give them a nice welcome, introduce
yourself and your mates (If you are not presenting by yourself). Use effective
opining to grip their attention (Use a question, a fact, a story, problem, a
joke or anything you believe it will work).
State Your Topic: Mention the main idea of your
presentation, it`s importance and the relevance of the topic to the audience.
Clearly describe the outline of the presentation (using the Future Tense), the
sequence of the ideas and briefly preview the main point.
State Your Topic`s importance: Give your audience sufficient reasons to
listen to what you are going to talk about. Talk about the importance of your
topic shortly, and how it is relevant to them. Do you best to make your audience
think that the topic you are going to talk about is returning with much benefit
to them or changing their lives (for an example).
Outline Your Topic: Sequencing and commenting your ideas will
help the audience to follow you and will help you memorizing the presentation.
Write header and sub-headers on a slid or on your note card. Share your
presentation structure with the audience. Tell them what are you going to talk
about when (what comes after/before what) and for how long.
Additional Information: Close your introduction with some
information like how long your presentation is going to last, whether you are
going to distribute handouts, cards or brochures. How would you like to receive
the questions (during or after the presentation?) lastly preview the main
points briefly.
The Body.
Main Points: Start by stating the topic, the objectives
of the presentation and briefly mention the main points to get the all the attention
of all the audience. After that, elaborate in greater details on these points
with documentation to support them.
Signals: Don`t make your audience wonder in which
point or part you are, guide them during the whole presentation. Before
explaining any part, point the beginning and the end of the part. Jumping
between points without signal can cause you losing the audience`s attention, in
order to avoid that use signal (google for presentation signals) to guide
audience.
Reference: The second idea can support the first idea
or so in most presentations, and here is the use of reference words or phrases
(google reference words or phrases) use these words and phrases to refer to
previous or other points without losing the audience`s attention.
Main Points and Ideas: Before ending the body section highlight
the main points in a logical sequence with appropriate transitions. After that,
close the body section with summarizing all the ideas mentioned in the body of
the presentation.
The Conclusion.
Signal the End of the Presentation: don’t leave your audience hanging state
your end by using conclusion phrases like (that’s all, In conclusion, I’d like
to). And there the audience will know
that you reached to the end of your presentation. But that’s not all, you need
to review and emphasize the main ideas that you want them to stick in their
minds, summarize and paraphrase the main points in the whole presentation,
highlight the importance and the significance of the presentation`s goals. At
last, make it memorable by giving them a question to think about it or call
them to an action and bring them down to closure. Invite them to questions if
you did not give them chances to ask during the presentation.
Now you can repair a well formed presentation without
thinking what the audience are going to say…;D
