Course content
Planning your presentation
Prior Planning Prevent Poor Performance (PPPPP) – Giving a presentation is a form of communication and before we step out on either the stage, or visit a client, do we know what kind of impression we want to make? What is it your audience will be expecting? - The theme can be the same for a number of audiences but the delivery and content must suit the audience at the moment.
Structuring the presentation
Having now determined your plan, you are now ready to come into contact with your clients or audience. The 10 steps to the structure of the Presentation is vital to your success as a professional.
Bringing your presentation to life
Making your presentation more interesting is an art that when executed well can be the difference in influencing your contacts. – What can you add as a speaker? How do we go from the written word to Oral? And Signposting, making the presentation flow.
Creating the visual impact
Your audience will absorb and retain your message more accurately and effectively if you support your presentation with visual resources. These need to be as carefully planned as the words that you choose to ensure that they compliment and enhance your communication with you audience.
Controlling your nerves
Even professional, seasoned performers suffer from stage fright. This can actually heighten the performance because of the high level of arousal experienced. So do not think you should eliminate nerves altogether. Here we will harness the energy to enhance your performance.
Delivering the presentation
To make a presentation interesting we must modulate our voices. To understand how to do this, we must study the use of pitch, pause, pace, volume and emphasis. Often you will want your audience to ask questions either during or after your presentation. This provides opportunity for you to check that your audience have understood your message, and encourage them to participate which in turn lets you know what they know.
Learning outcomes
- Plan and prepare an effective presentation
- Deliver both a prepared and impromptu presentation clearly and confidently
