PRESENTATION
Tape your own voice and listen.
Practice. Vary pitch and tone. Get used to creating emphasis and be comfortable with pauses.
Be concise and to the point. It is better to keep quiet than is is to waffle.
Use positive speech, rather than negative and avoid ‘trendy’ phrases and jargon.
Back your words up with eye contact and positive body language.
Always keep your audience in mind and tailor your talk to them and their needs.
Be yourself - don’t try to use different accents or unfamiliar long words or terms - speak in your own style and use your own strengths, rather than copy others.
Know the point of your presentation.
u Be knowledgeable about your subject - always know too much rather than too little.
Don’t be boring. Boredom has to be the biggest block to effective communication. If you’re bored, they will be, too.
Prepare your presentation well in advance.
Use brainstorming to write down your ideas, then tidy into a three-part structure.
Rehearse and invite feedback.
Know the room you’ll be speaking in.
Dress comfortably and appropriately
