STEP-2: PREPARE YOUR PRESENTATION

• Write the script in points:

-   Introduction

               -   Main body – points you want to discuss

• Prepare notes on small index card for you to use when making a presentation (if you are not using PowerPoint).
• Prepare PowerPoint presentation. Do not write paragraphs. Write points only, and click point by point instead of the whole slide. This will help the audience to concentrate on the point you are talking about.

                                          

    STEP-3: PRACTICE YOUR PRESENTATION

• Practice either by yourself or in front of a small audience. You  can do so in front  of a mirror also if nobody is available.
• Check your timing. Quite often you may have to keep to time limit. Hence it is better to check whether you conform to it – neither less nor more.

 

      STEP-4: MAKE YOUR PRESENTATION

• Get rid of stage fear.
• Be confident.
• Talk normally.
• Preferably start with a simple and appropriate ice-breaker. Maintain proper and regular eye contact with the audience.
• Look at the points only. Then speak from memory.
• Always stand while making a presentation. Sitting presentations lose their effectiveness as the invisible thread of eye contact with the audience is lost.
• Correct body language is important. Use hand movements and gestures to emphasize your points.
• Make your presentation interactive. You may elicit information from the participants instead of giving out all of it yourself.
• You may break the monotony with a small game relevant to the subject of your presentation (depending on the length of your presentation).
• At the end, ask if there are any questions. Answer them with confidence.
• Provide your contact details (someone may want to contact you for clarifications).
• Thank the audience for their patience and participation.
