How to Become a Good Presenter

Asalam-o-Alaikum Friends, Welcome to my blog Entertain Tricks, Friends in this post I am going to share lecture number 4 of business communication subject and chapter name is How to Become a Good Presenter. This lecture is provided by Dr. Zahid Memon. Here I describe short form of lecture by own and complete lecture can be downloaded at the end of this post.

To become a good presenter you must know deep knowledge of topic that you want to present in front of a small group of venture investors or an audience of thousands and not grasping your topic with sufficient depth and authenticity.
After that communicate what you want to tell them means to the audience. Tell them what you are going to tell them.Think about how much you can legitimately take away from a talk, even when you are really, really interested.
You may think you are repeating yourself too much, but probably not!

REACH OUT FOR YOUR WHOLE AUDIENCE

Ideally, your slides will reach all three audience types. Keep in mind:

What do they know?
What don’t they know?
What do they want?

WHAT IS AUDIENCE EXPECTATION

Short informal presentation (5 min)
Talk at scientific meeting (15-30 min)
Workshop presentation: Research seminar (~1 h)

OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER

Oral communication is different from written communication Keep it simple and focus on a few key points
Repeat key insights
Be sensitive to your audience The same talk may need to be adjusted for a
different audience
Make the audience want to learn more
Handling Q&A is as important as the formal talk itself

HOW TO IMPROVE?

Practice by yourself
Practice in front of friends
Practice in front of a webcam Watch footage later… alone… as painful as that may be!
Take note of effective speakers and adopt their successful habits
