Preparing for Presentation?

Here I will be putting some light on important things we should keep in mind while you are supposed to give a presentation.

Key Steps:
  1. Briefly introduce yourself
  2. Tell the topic, agenda, objective of this presentation.
  3. Tell the audience "I need to put my cell phone on silent mode to avoid distraction, would you also like to do the same" ;-)
  4. You need to confirm the way you are ready for the questions and answers. Some guys prefer to go with question answer as the presentation goes on. Or keep this for the time when your presentation ends. This will help you not get confused or slip from the track.
  5. Your presentation starts: Go On...
  6. Kindly intimate through verbal and non verbal expression that your presentation ends here and you ready to favor the audiences queries.
Things to keep in mind:
  • If you got slides with you, keep succinct content. Keep the verbose content and description in your brain. Just put necessary headlines on the slides.
  • Sense the nigglers and the people who are on ego trip. As you should have special treatment for them. Ask favor to answer their queries off line.
  • Take a pause, that will help you take deep breath and audiences to swallow the stuffs you threw at then till that time.
  • Put some hand gestures along with your verbal speech to make things interesting in your as well as audiences feelings.
  • Keep eye contact not on individual, you should be pointing to everybody as you are addressing everybody not to particular in that conference room. ;)
  • Feel cool.
