Agenda
Preparation and Practice Tone and Body Language Perfect PowerPoint Flipcharts and Whiteboards Dealing with questions and interruptions Facing your fears

Preparation & Practice


Preparation is the Key Aspects in the development of a good presentation Key message Audience Time Resources Close

Warm up!
Deep breathing exercises- in for a count of 5, out for a count of 5. In for 6, out for 6, and so on, up to 10. Hum! This loosens the vocal chords and warms them up

Do some tongue twisters. Really try to articulate the words. Get faster and faster! Yawning

Timing
Timing is an important factor Don't give a long speech if you speak to 200 people and you go over your time by 10 minutes, thats the equivalent

of 2,000 minutes or over 33 hours !!!!

Tone and Body Language


Posture. Tone of voice. Dont rush!

Giving the Presentation


Clothing: comfortable, appropriate Maintain eye contact Use notes if you need them Think about when to use handouts

Podium Panic
Dont panic, its not a death race Nervousness is usually invisible Be yourself Begin in your comfort zone

Powerpoint
Effective Delivery Be active - move Be purposeful - controlled gestures Variations vocal (pitch, volume, rate) Be natural Use simple language Be direct dont just talk in front of the audience talk to them

Facing your fears


Possible fears, and how to deal with them: Forgetting what to say: prepare and use notes or cue cards. If you do forget, take a deep breath, and dont panic, as youll forget even more!

Speaking in front of people: practice in front of a small audience first. Look just about the heads of the audience. Sometimes you will be nervous: accept it and carry on

Disruptions, people shouting out or being rude during your presentation: You control the presentation. If people are being noisy, disruptive, or rude, you have the right to ask them to leave. If youre unwilling to do this yourself, contact venue security if they are present.

Questions: not knowing the answer to questions, people asking questions to trip you up: Prepare for common questions beforehand, if you cant answer straight away, take their details and get back to them.

Dealing with Questions


Questions show people are listening!
Allow time to deal with them

Decide when to answer them


Try and anticipate

Dont be afraid to stop and think

What if you dont know the answer?


Open it to the floor
Take details and answer later

Repeat the question back if you dont


understand it

Conclusion
Never argue with audience Pause before you answer Address your answer and look to others

THANK YOU
