writing Sir Asim How to deliver an affective presentation A presentation is an ideal environment for you to promote your ideas, your products, or your services. You have a captive audience, are able to provide them with relevant information, and can answer any questions they may have on the spot.
Step one: Look at the structure of your presentation
Structure is essential for any presentation. There should be an introduction, a main body, and a conclusion. I Introduce your presentation:
The introduction to your presentation needs to attract your audience’s interest and attention.
A good opening will also boost your own confidenice, because if you start well, the rest should follow easily Plan your opening words carefully for maximum impact they should be short, sharp, and to the point.
Let your audience know how long your presentation will take, as this will prepare them to focus for the period of time you expect to speak.
Summarise the contents of your presentation, so that your audience can work out how much information they’ll need to absorb.
2 Make an impact in the main section of the presentation
It goes without saying that the main section of your presentation will be driven by the points you want to make. For maximum impact, use short, sharp, and simple language that will keep your audience’s attention and also make sure that your message is being understood.
While you do need to be precise in what you say. Make sure you don’t sound too stilted or as if you’re
Reading something out of a book-it’s good to give the impression of spontaneity.
However nervous you feel, stick to your original plan for your presentation, and don’t go off at a tangent on a particular point and miss the thread.
3 Conclude your presentation
Be brief, but speak clearly without rushing.
Quickly restate the product’s advantages or benefits.
Delivering great presentations.
Emphasise your hopes for the product (for example, you belleve it will be the market leader in X months time)
Step two: Think about your posture and delivery
Now that you know what you’ll be saying, it’s time to think about how you can say it best and definitely make a splash.
Maintain eye contact and address your audience directly throughout your presentation.
Be aware of your stance, posture, and gestures without being too self-conscious.
Remember that your audience has come to learn something. Try to sound authoritative, sincere, and enthusiastic. If you don’t sound as if you believe in yourself, this will come across to the audience
Think about the way in which you’re speaking. Most people need to articulate their words more clearly when addressing an audience Think about the expression in your voice.
Step three: Answer any questions
Some people prefer to take questions at the end of a presentation rather than have their flow of concentration interrupted while they’re speaking. This is a good strategy if you’re nervous or if you’re talking about a complicated or very technical subject-it’s all too easy to lose your way
If you do take questions at the end of a talk, give your audience an idea of how much time you have to spend on it.
If someone asks you a question and you don’t know the answer be honest and tell the other person that you’ll find out what they need to know and get back to them separately. This will save time, and also prevent you from giving an incorrect answer.
Encourage interesting discussions between members of the audience by throwing general discussion points open to the floor. This tactic may be appropriate if you’re speaking to an audience made up of your peers or of specialsts in a certain subject: you may all learn something from it.
Step four: Make a dignified exit:
Once the question and answer session is over, you’re just about done. All that remains is for you to say thank you to the audience for listening.
If you have handouts to circulate. Now is the time to do it. It’s a good idea to include your contact details on these handouts.
people can get in touch with you about questions that occur to them later, or hopefully to indicate some interest in what you’ve been talking about. Thank them for their feedback and keep in touch if you can giving presentations is a great way to network and build up your contact list.
