The Art of Presentation

I believe its an Art of marketing yourself, through you is called presentation skills.

I recently had a chance to entitle myself for one of presentation skills enhancement training, and to my surprise the outcome was awesome.
Although possibly its just because my trainer was an expert guy with nearly five years of experience in brushing IT heads to the limit.
I saw a variety of people there, some were good tech geeks but they really lacked the art of presentation. I am highly impressed with the way he helped us overcome the notational fear of standing on stage.

The purpose of this post is to express my gratitude and resemble certain details which can be useful for any human being who is social and lives in society

Points to do before any meeting of presentation

1. Always make sure you reach early enough
2. Check all the arrangements like Mic, Projector, Lightning of room
3. Make sure of your position, so that when you speak you are visible to everyone and everyone else can see you
4. Always keep backup of your important documents on some second location so that last minute call, you can collect it from there

Designing your content

1. your content according to your audience
2. if your audience is a newbie plan accordingly
3. relevant visuals to suit your content
4. will keep lasting effect on the people, rather than just hearing
5. (What people hear, they forget, what they see they remember , what they do they never forget)
6. not put lot of text or complete explanation to your ppt slides , that people can merely read it out.
7. sure you have enough time for questions, because if you end without giving a chance to ask questions it can be a closed ended presentation.
8. Every time and in every presentation there are three forms of demonstrating or displaying information

• Must Know (necessary or must be provided)
• Should Know (statistics or relevant helping info)
• Could Know (can be shared with the audience but not a part of presentation)

9. Follow an logical flow with designing your content don't just keep on jumping topics

How to start your presentation

1. Always start with an introduction
2. make sure you stand in right posture
3. Do not use (Basically | Actually) it kills the interest
4. Tell them what you have for them
5. Mention your targets and boundaries
6. Keep your laptop or organizer accessible to you, so that you don't keep running around on stage
7. Always keep a stimulus eye contact with all the audience so that they are notified of you watching them
8. Keep a small smile on your face
9. Be gentle with your tone, do not increase the tone with no reason
10. Always raise your tone, specifically you spell an verb or Noun (Like The Conceptt'tt is implementeddd successfully for more than 200 companiesss)
11. so when you stress on some words, your gestures must match the words
12. Speak with opening your mouth, so you speak at average rate and its audiable
13. Make sure you have covered topics, necessary for the audience
14. If you forget something, just don't try to remember it, as your audience never knew what you were suppose to say

Finally I end this post, with a small and useful proverb I was shared by my Trainer
"Great presenters aren't Born, They are trained "

Best Of luck..
