Slow Start
|
·
Need to open every presentation in a way that
breaks the audience’s preoccupation and causes them to be present mentally as
well as physically
·
Close a presentation with a summary or a call
to action
|
Ending Late
|
·
Set intermediate times in your presentation
to keep on track
·
Cut out material that is not absolutely ‘need
to know’
·
Don’t wait until the end to cut
|
Asking “are the any
question”
|
·
Use openers like:
o
“now let’s have your questions”
o
“now it’s time to ask those questions you
have”
o
“What question do you have?”
|
Unreadable visuals
|
·
Shows lack of respect for the audience
·
It’s important how the message is
communicated
·
Take time to develop simple visual
·
Make visuals visual: colour graphic images,
pictures, and charts communicate better than words
·
Use graphics to put pictures in your
audience’s mind
·
Test visual in advance
·
Be sure visuals can be read from the back of
the room without strain
·
Make it easy for the audience to take in the
message
|
Lack of preparation
|
·
Practise your opening and closing
·
Practise using your visual aids and integrate
them smoothly with your words
·
Practise moving and gesturing
·
Practise varying your voice to add life to
your message
·
By practising, you’ll get better, more
confident, and more successful
|
Lack of enthusiasm
|
·
Use your voice, stance and gestures to show
excitement about your topic
