Presenting information can be quite tough, especially if there is a large audience. Here are 10 key points to keep in mind!
- Keep the presentation short and sweet.
- Use more images and less text. Instead of writing paragraphs of information, list out the information in points, highlighting the key words.
- Be LOUD and CLEAR.
- Talk slowly. DO NOT rush. Pause every now and then for a few seconds to give the audience time to absorb.
- Be open. Body language is very important. Avoid standing stiff and keeping your hands crossed. Gesture with your hands.
- Don't be afraid to smile and connect with your audience. No one likes sitting through a monotonous lecture, so keep it light. Try getting your points across with the help of funny personal stories.
- While presenting, maintain eye contact with the audience. Avoid looking at the screen.
- DO NOT read off of your presentation. It is for the audience to read, you are there to further explain your points, not read the same information you have already provided.
- Reiterate your main points.
- And lastly, SMILE!
