Demonstrate effective ways of Presentation skills

The ability to provide successful and compelling presentations to a variety of audiences is

known as presenting skills. The structure of your presentation, the design of your slides,
the tone of your voice, and the body language you transmit are all examples of these
skills.
How to Improve Your Presentation Skills:
Preparation
1) Do some research on your target audience. Knowing your audience's wants will help
you personalize your presentation to their specific needs and explain how your
organization can help them in their predicament.
2) Putting your presentation together. Most presentations can benefit from this simple
structure:
• Opening - First sentence should elicit an emotional response from the viewer. A
tale, an inquiry, or a startling static can all be used. It should not consist of a self-
introduction or five minutes of thank-yous.
• Body - Stick to three most crucial points as much as possible. Engaging the audience
is more vital than telling them everything you know. You'll have to leave some things out,
but anything you don't cover in the presentation is likely to come up during questions.
Keep in mind what you want to achieve. You don't need to write out your presentation
word for word (or worse, memorize it) if you remember to return to your primary points
and work toward your goal. Prepare to give both sides of an argument. If you
acknowledge your competition or any opposing viewpoints, you'll appear more credible.
You can explain why your company is superior or your argument is stronger after you've
explained the opposite side.
• Closing - The last chance you have to leave a lasting impression on your audience is
at the conclusion of your presentation. Return to your introduction or conclude with a
witty phrase or a call to action.
3) Practice, don't memorize
• Videotape yourself - You can't know how you come off to people until you see it.
Recording yourself is the best way to target the areas where you can improve.
 • Stop working on it - Take a couple of days to relax before your speech.
