How to deliver an Effective Business Presentation.

1. Delivering a Presentation By Graham Young

2. Arrive Early Doors Open 10.30 am In case there is a problem

3. Tidy the Room Strategy To minimise the distractions

4. Check all the Equipment Screen saver Off? Screen saver & WIFI turned off? Mobile on silent? OK Ink in the pens? Screen lined up

5. Nervous? It is OK Being Nervous is Normal Don’t worry about it

6. Dry Mouth? Suck a mint Don’t drink the water

7. Boost your Self Confidence Repeat aloud after me: “I am poised, prepared, persuasive, positive and powerful.” “I feel composed, confident, convincing, commanding and compelling.”

8. Give the MC an Intro Card Please give a warm welcome to ………. He/she has a great deal of experience in today’s subject as He/she has recently completed …….

9. The Delivery Stand up

10. Take a deep Breath Oxygenates your blood and calms you down

11. Establish Eye Contact Look your audience in the eye

12. Eye Contact Look at the happy faces to begin with

13. Look at a different person while you say each phrase or sentence … the grumpy onesneed more eye contactoverall

14. When they are all listening Start talking

15. Never let them get ahead If your audience knows what you aregoing to say next, they will stop listening

16. Take them on a journey Don’t let them see the end from the start Build in some mystery

17. Make it interactive – make it memorable I hear - I forget I see - I remember I do - I understand Confucius Make your audience do things, if only in their heads

18. Put some emotion in to itTell a story Dry facts are boring

19. Remember to finish With a call to action that enforces your objective The more detailed and explicit the better

20. Then … Stand still and feel the warm glow of a standing ovation

21. Afterwards Check that your audience meets your objective Run a post presentation review What worked well What didn’t work Do it even better next time
