[交流] The Art Of Making A Brilliant Presentation

You never get a second chance, to make a first impression! The same rings true for presentations. As a leader, you have to deliver your messages with laser guided precision. So how do you ensure that you ace that presentation? Well, for starters, you leave nothing to chance. But, that's perhaps, easier said than done. Here are a few key pointers that could help you make that brilliant presentation.
1. Open with something completely unexpected
The first 30 seconds to one minute, are crucial in a presentation. That's when your audience is sizing you up and you set expectations. If you are unable to capture the attention of the audience during that critical time, you have an uphill task of redeeming your presentation.
Create a strong story line and use pictures to tell your story
2. A picture is worth a thousand words.
The human brain has remarkable abilities to craft stories out of personal experiences and relate it to visual cues.
That's why when you have a story to share, audiences can relate to it, instantly.
The picture here says it all. You don't have to describe 'Loyalty'; the image does it for you.
3. Less is More
There is a term in the corporate world called- 'Death by Slides'. It refers to a surfeit of slides that were unnecessary in the first place.
Nothing dampens a presentation, as much as unending slides.
4. Engage your audience
Sharing information alone is not enough. You need to engage the audience. If you have people asking you questions, responding to what you say, your impact would be significantly higher than if they were sitting with deadpan expressions and not saying anything.
Ask questions, show pictures, engage the audience, in your own way.
Your objective is not to say your piece and exit. It is to achieve the purpose of making the presentation, in the first place.
5. Appeal to emotions
Emotions get our attention and audiences tend to retain emotionally charged content long after the presentation. Audiences seldom identify with a presentation devoid of emotional appeal. Find the right emotion to appeal to and make your pitch accordingly.
6.Maintain eye contact
A great presentation is like a one on one conversation where each participant feels that the speaker is directly talking to him. And, the only way this can happen, is with continuous eye contact.
As Thomas Edison once said, ‘Genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration'. In a presentation, inspiration gives you the perspective while preparation gives you the edge. But, no matter how good you are at presentations, there is no substitute for rigorous preparation and multiple rehearsals.

Hi, Andrewsh

Welcome to English Cafe.

Nice writing. The six points what you share with us are very important for presentation. Thanks for your sharing.

Well. Presentation is difficult for most of us. We need practice and practice. Psychologists told that for most people, they just follow your idea less than 15 minutes. So, like what you told us:

Less is more!

At last, I think our fast modern life makes us not very patient to read such a long writing. Everybody is busy. Get busy living and get busy doing everything. I hope you should pay a little time on polishing it, such as, dividing them into small pieces. Long writing always makes me pressured, especially those without a break.

Looking forward to hearing more from you. Thank you for your useful sharing again.
