Successful presentations begin with a message that is clear - and end with an audience that clearly got the message!
A powerful and clear presentation, passionately presented with a lot of genuine personal feeling is a must! If you are not passionate about the possible outcome, why would you even remotely expect others to be excited?
Keep your presentation simple and clear. NOTE: A confused mind always says “no.” Even if you are presenting on a complex system or subject, never move forward until you are sure that your audience both understands and appreciates the information you are conveying. This is a critical aspect of presenting. The ability to clearly present an idea is as important as the idea itself.
Basic Overview of Powerful Presentations:
Opening: Tell them what you’re going to tell them.
Body: Tell them.
Conclusion: Tell them what you told them
Six simple Tips for a great presentation:
ONE: The purpose of your presentation is to get results; to help people make changes and think or act differently. So start with the end in mind. What do you want people to do as a result of the information you provide them? What do they need to know to do this? What do they need to feel to do this?
TWO: People learn in three ways: Visual (what they can see), Auditory (what they can hear), and Kinesthetic (what they can touch). Try to include all three approaches in your presentation. Most of your audience will be visual and need to “see” what they “hear” from you. So tell your personal visual stories to support your points. When the audience hears and sees your stories they will feel connected to you and the presentation material.
THREE: People have short attention spans. Review your main points before you end your presentation. Don’t give them too much information. Most people only remember one or two concepts - so provide your best one or two ideas that will have the most significance to that particular audience.
FOUR: Be conversational by engaging the audience. Don't lecture the audience. Adults love to learn but don’t like to think they are in school. Be interactive. Remember, the audience that gets involved with your material will learn something they can use immediately. You should want the audience to “own” the material you provided in a meeting or presentation. Ask a few questions as people in the audience often remember the person asking the question and the answer more vividly than you simply providing the material.
