Presenting can be daunting and when someone is not a confident presenter it can turn into a very embarrassing and traumatic experience, both for the presenter and the poor audience.
When presenting to a group of people it is vital
that you first research and thoroughly know the topic matter. You need to become an expert on whatever it is you are presenting on.
When preparing for the presentation it is important to consider who
you are presenting to and why?
It is beneficial to know what we want to achieve
from the presentation and who we are presenting to, if we know who our audience is we can connect on a more personal level with them. For example, do we want to
inform, motivate, persuade or to entertain. Understanding what we want to
achieve, the audience and how to keep them engaged is the foundation to a great
presentation.
The following presentation is an example of what
a sound presentation should be like and a rather interesting topic matter.
Malcolm Gladwell: Choice, Happiness and Spagetti Sauce!!
Malcolm the presenter keeps his language
relevant to his audience and simple throughout the presentation. Malcolm
engages his audience with confidence and speaks clearly and loud enough to
project his voice so the entire audience can hear. Malcolm tends to elaborate the
key points of his topic and ensures that his audience captivates the importance
to what he is saying by providing interesting examples that relate to the key
ideas of his presentation.
