Powerful Presentation Strategies
Page 2
FIVE: Use strong openings. Examples: a story, a significant statement, a quotation, a challenging question. You really only have 60 seconds to connect with your audience. Then you must provide a presentation that engages them. Using personal stories and sprinkling your remarks with facts will keep them interested.
SIX: Use Strong Closings. Examples: Provide a summary. (Tell them what you told them) Review the main points, make a statement, and tell an anecdote. Finally challenge them to take some action . . . immediately, in the next 12 to 48 hours, in one week, by the end of the year.
Finally, get feedback! Every presentation has room for improvement. Be sure to solicit feedback from meeting attendees on how the presentation went right for them - and how it went wrong. Was the presentation too long? Were presentation items unclear? Whatever the problems, you can't fix them if you don't know about them. If the presentation was on track, what were the best points made. The object is to fix what’s wrong and keep what’s right. You can simply informally speak with attendees after the presentation to get their input or call them at a later time.
