Course content
First, answer three basic questions
A successful presentation begins with good preparation. Before laying out the content of your presentation, you would do well to reflect on three basic questions: Who are your listeners? What effect do you want to achieve? How do you optimally tailor the message to your target audience and purpose?
Bring structure to your story
A good presentation has a clear structure. You help the audience if you tell them at the beginning what to expect and how your presentation is structured.
Five ways to open
A good start is half the battle. That’s the idea behind an attractive opening. Anyone who manages to grab attention in the first few minutes of the presentation is very likely to keep the audience listening intently.
Five ways to end
Leave with something nice, then you will stay in the minds of your audience. The importance of a good heckler is obvious: what you say last is fresh in the mind.
Practice your Presentation Technique
A nice story won’t get you there. Anyone who makes a presentation is, in a sense, giving a performance. You demand attention, then you have to earn that attention.
Use of tools
Do you know that your audience is more eye than ear? So the message for speakers is: show what you are saying.
