Over the last five years, I've noticed a dramatic change in the field of presentation skills. Increasingly, experts support the idea that being a "good enough" speaker is no longer "good enough." Mere competency as a speaker is no longer enough to sell your ideas, bring communities together, or move clients to action.
What are the reasons for this change?? I believe it results from a unique confluence between popular and business cultures. The private sphere has become more public Wholesale Ken Griffey Jersey , reality shows rule, PowerPoint is the norm, and the idea of individual "performance" is key. Whatever the reasons, the expectations of ordinary audiences have risen. It's no longer good enough to be good enough.
How can presenters overcome these new challenges?
Here are five essential tips to ensure you are better than "just good enough."
1.? Ensure that you have a good design.
More presentations fail because of poor design than because of poor delivery. In fact, high quality design actually improves delivery.
Here are the three factors most likely to cause poor design:
* Composing your presentation without an "end in mind."
* Using PowerPoint to compose your presentation.
* Overlooking your audience's needs Wholesale Jay Buhner Jersey , wants, anxieties, biases, "personality..."
How to avoid these pitfalls:
Always ask yourself: "What do I want to this presentationto achieve?" Many speakers who want to persuade their audiences compose "information-only" speeches. Guess what? The audience, in most cases Wholesale Edgar Martinez Jersey , will NOT fill in the blanks. They will NOT be moved to action. Learn how to construct the right speech for the job. (I can help - drop me a line at guila@ .)
PowerPoint is meant to support your message, not to be used as a composing tool. You must identify your desired outcome(s) and design your presentation to achieve those. The best tools to do this are a pen and paper, (or Word if you are so inclined.) Composing on PowerPoint increases the chance that you will deliver an unfocused, rambling "data-dump."
Know your audience. Design your presentation to answer the question, "What's in it for THEM?"
2. Be fit.
The best presenters Wholesale Felix Hernandez Jersey , even the "low-key" ones, use a lot of personal energy. If you feel out of shape, find an activity that strengthens you, speeds up your metabolism, and gives you stamina. It doesn't matter what? "size" you are. It does matter how fit you are.
3.? Remember that presenting is a relationship event Wholesale Jay Bruce Jersey , not a performance event.
Above all, effective presenters connect with their audiences. The presentation becomes a large conversation. Everyone feels more comfortable, even when the topic is thorny.
How to connect? Greet people individually as they come in the door. Hob-nob at the refreshment table. Learn people's names. Make eye contact. Ask questions. Show empathy.
