GOOD PRESENTATION SKILLS
 VISUAL COMMUNICATION
Visual information is the first thing that forms the audience’s
impression. Good presentations include effective and influential
slides. Your presentation should not contain more than 100-word
text slides.
 z  INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION
Giving a good presentation is unimaginable without building a rapport with the audience.
Effective interpersonal communication means convincing each member of the audience that
you’re speaking directly to them.

 VERBAL COMMUNICATION
Speaking in a clear and confident way is key to delivering your message to the audience. Verbal
communication is the most obvious part of our communication and plays a major role in
presentation as well.
 z
 HUMOR
Using humor is an effective way to engage the audience during a presentation.
Including a few light-hearted slides can be a great idea to increase your
audience’s mood.

 STORYTELLING
Storytelling means the ability to tell an inspiring story, which is important
presentation skill.
 z  ATTRACTING THE AUDIENCE
To inspire your audience, you need to attract them in the first place. A great balance between verbal
and non-verbal communication, as well as engaging visual materials, lead presenters to attract the
audience.

 KEEPING THINGS SIMPLE

Sometimes you give presentations about topics that are unfamiliar to the audience. Considering
this, there’s no need to make things complicated. By keeping things simple, you’ll avoid confusing
your audience.
 z
 USING BODY LANGUAGE
Body language accounts for as much as 55% of our communication. Effective presenters try to
control their bodies, gestures, and pose in order to make an impact on the audience.

 MANAGING EMOTIONS
Sometimes people don’t like the way you present things or are not interested in the topic.
However, rejection shouldn’t affect your self-image. Effective presenters know how to deal with
the stress of public speaking and manage their emotions.
 z
 SELF-AWARENESS
Being self-aware means knowing your
strengths and weaknesses. And this, in turn,
helps you to use your strengths and work on
improving your weaknesses.
 LEADERSHIP
A presenter plays the role of leader for the
audience. Even if leadership isn’t natural to
your personality, acting as a leader will help
you to manage the audience.
 z
 FOCUS ON THE AUDIENCE
Your presentation should be centered on
the audience, not on yourself. The main
purpose of the presentation is to engage
the audience. So, good presenters pay
attention to the needs and preferences of
the people listening to them.

 ACTIVE LISTENING
Ending your speech doesn’t mean that the
presentation is also finished. The
presentation is a bilateral process between
the presenter and the audience. Therefore,
you should listen actively to the audience
in order to find out their reactions and
opinions.
 TIME ORGANIZATION
z
No one listens to your presentation for hours. Studies show
that the optimal length of a presentation is 20 minutes.
While a 10-minute presentation might be too short to
deeply understand a topic, giving a speech for more
than 20 minutes is too much as people lose interest and find it difficult to concentrate.

 DOING RESEARCH
A good presenter is an expert on the topic he or she’s
speaking about. Doing deep research and finding statistics,
facts, or examples about the main topic is important
presentation skill.
 z
What to Avoid During Presentation?

 The main reason why people are afraid of presentations is that they fear
negative feedback from the audience. And most of the time, they receive
negative feedback because they aren’t aware of the common mistakes people
make while presenting. Here are some of the things that you should avoid
doing during a presentation:

 Don’t be late – time is an essential factor for any type of audience. Being
late will put the audience in a bad mood and make you feel more
stressed.
 z
 Avoid technical issues – test your presentation before you start, and ensure you
won’t encounter any technical problems.

 Don’t read from the screen – it bores the audience because they can read from the
screen too. The audience is expecting something that can’t be found on the slides.

 Don’t go on and on – no one has enough time to listen to a never-ending presentation.
Try to make your presentation shorter than 20 minutes.
