Q.6
Being an effective speaker is much more than flipping through a fancy PowerPoint filled with facts and figures. Good presenters are engaging, exciting, and connect with the audience while getting their point across. Whether you’re a traveling presenter who speaks at many conferences a year or someone who has does a few smaller presentations a year, you know that engaging the audience and teaching them something are the goals of presenting. By using these 4 P’s of Presenting, you can learn what it takes to effectively design and deliver your message to make your audience say, “AMAZING!” Preparation - Step one in preparing a presentation is thinking about the needs of your audience. It’s important to ask yourself these questions:
- Who are they?
- What do they care about?
- What are they here to learn?
Practice - You can create a beautiful slide show and have strong data surrounding your speaking points, but without practice, the presentation is at risk of falling flat. Presenters practice in a variety of ways: at home, alone, in front of a mirror, or in front of family. In front of a video camera is the most effective. Self-reflection or sharing the video with a peer-coach provides you with the greatest insight.
Project your Voice - It’s common for presenters to focus more on the visuals and talking points as opposed to the auditory aspect of actually delivering the presentation. Whether you are presenting to a room of 20 or 300, most people are unable to project with sufficient volume and still keep the message intelligible while presenting. When the audience s trains to hear the presenter, they become sidetracked. You will see them busy on their smart device instead of being engaged.
Pauses - By varying your vocal volume, inflection, and pacing (and skillfully using pauses) you can avoid a dull, monotone delivery.
