Preparation stage
- When preparing for a presentation, one should think like a reporter and answer the “who, what, why, and where” questions.
- Who will attend- and how many? The content of presentation should be aimed at the audience, and the choice of visuals to meet the needs of the presenters group. Visuals need to be visible to everyone.
- What is the purpose of the presentation? Is it to explain a plan or a project; to tell people what to do and how.
- Why are they there? Is attendance mandatory? Any time anyone attends a meeting, they will always be asking themselves, “What’s in it for me?”Be sure answer that question for them.
- One should keep his points short, concise and understandable to the audience. Visuals could be
used to clarify and reinforce the message.
(b) Delivery stage
Tips for successful presentation;
-Plan the timing
-Make the points dear.
-Speak clearly
-Use visuals that can be seen by all.
-End the presentations on time.
(c) Follow up stage;
After the presentation, the presenter should ask a trusted colleague in the audience to give him a feedback afterward. If the feedback shows that he needs help, the presenter should hire a private presentation skills coach.
