So, you want to improve your presentation skills …
Does your presentation already have a structure and content ideas? Great.
If you invest time and energy in giving a presentation, it can be frustrating if your delivery is not as effective as you would like.
The content and structure of your presentation are important, but here are 4 other steps I recommend you also check before you begin tweaking.
Think about the following four points before you start re-planning your presentation structure and content.
1) What is the main purpose of the presentation?
- to get prospects
- to pitch a product
- to present business results/data
- etc.
2) What is the main reason you want to improve your presentation?
- it lacks efficiency
- it is too long
- you need more self-confidence in the delivery
- you rely on reading the script too much when presenting
- etc
3) What are your strong points as a speaker that your presentation can benefit from?
- organized thinking
- clear diction, powerful voice
- creative presentation ideas
- sense of humour
- etc)
4) What feedback do you usually get from colleagues or managers after your presentations?
- no feedback
- they tell me it was clear, well done etc
- they tell me if something was not clear
- other
Have you considered (any of) these points before preparing or going about improving a presentation?
