“I always think a great speaker convinces us not by force of reasoning but because he is visibly enjoying the beliefs he wants us to accept.”
-W.B. Yeats

What is a good presenter?
“A presenter should be like a mini skirt:Long enough to cover the vital parts,and short enough to attract attention.”
![Page 5: Akhilesh dwivedi basic presentaion skills](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5492667cb479596d4e8b461f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
IntroductionPresentations skills are important in general: quite often
during your study, and also later in your career, you will need to use this skill.
Presentations can have different objectives: • To inform, • To sell something, • To persuade someone, or • To train people.
![Page 6: Akhilesh dwivedi basic presentaion skills](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5492667cb479596d4e8b461f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• the speaker was nervous• the speaker was disorganised• the speaker never looked at me• the speaker had bad accent• the speaker did not sound enthusiastic• the speaker was monotonous• the visuals were bad• I was irritated by his/her clothing• the speaker was speaking too softly• the speech was confused; I didn’t know what he/she was trying to tell me
This is what irritates people during presentations

Research by Harvard University suggest that:
“ For many people the thought of giving a public presentation is more disturbing than the thought of dying.”

Push yourself out of your comfort zone
• The way we communicate has been learned over our entire life. We do what we do because we are comfortable that way . Often, however our comfort zone limits us.
• In fact , any change or skill building requires that we step out of comfort zone and try some new behavior.
• The first time we try something new, it may seem difficult, but with the time and practice, we become comfortable doing it.

4P’s of PresentationPresentation and public speaking skill is an art and anyone can master
this art with a preparation and practice.
To avoid any negative outcome the following aspects are important in making a presentation:
• Plan• Prepare• Practice• Present / Deliver
![Page 12: Akhilesh dwivedi basic presentaion skills](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5492667cb479596d4e8b461f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Plan
Some people think that they can deliver effective presentations without planning.
But experienced presenter know that they need to plan the presentation and anticipate situations that may occur.
![Page 13: Akhilesh dwivedi basic presentaion skills](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5492667cb479596d4e8b461f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Benefits of planning your presentation include:
• Polished delivery.• The ability to give a presentation within time
limit.• Anticipation of the audiences comfort.• The ability to alter a presentation to meet
various needs.• Reduction of technical problems.
![Page 14: Akhilesh dwivedi basic presentaion skills](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5492667cb479596d4e8b461f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
To plan an effective presentation, you need to determine its purpose and to determine the purpose of your presentation , you should ask yourself the following:
• Why this specific presentation?• What should the participants be able to do or
understand after going through the presentation?• How should the participants react at the end of the
presentation?
![Page 15: Akhilesh dwivedi basic presentaion skills](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5492667cb479596d4e8b461f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
This is the basic structure of a talk:
1. Introduction
2. Main part (body)
3. Conclusion
4. Question & Answer session
Prepare
This means that you need to plan every part carefully. Your presentation must tell a story. At this stage you are like a screen-writer, someone who is writing a play.
![Page 16: Akhilesh dwivedi basic presentaion skills](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5492667cb479596d4e8b461f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Preparation at homeWhen you plan your presentation you need to answer the
following questions:1. Who is my audience (how much do they know about my
topic?)2. How am I going to organise my topic? (it needs to tell a
story)3. How long should my presentation be? (you will have time
limits and you need to say everything within that limit)4. What visual support shall I use? (PowerPoint,
transparencies, models, objects...?)
![Page 17: Akhilesh dwivedi basic presentaion skills](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5492667cb479596d4e8b461f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Putting parts together
Particularly if you are working in a group it is important that you put the parts of your speech in a logical sequence. Your presentation needs to tell a story and be told in a simple language so that the audience can follow you. You will no doubt discover many ideas that you want to include in your presentation but you must be selective. Include only the information that is relevant to your audience and your objective. Leave all other ideas out. What approach should you use? Formal or informal? Lots of visual aids or only a few? But remember, your time is always limited, therefore be selective.
![Page 18: Akhilesh dwivedi basic presentaion skills](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5492667cb479596d4e8b461f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Effective vocal technics include:
• Speed – It is rate at which you communicate the message to the audience.
• Volume – The optimum volume depends on the size of the room and the size of the audience.
• Pitch – Pitch is the tone or the inflection in your voice.
• Quality – Vocal quality is the overall sound of your voice.
![Page 19: Akhilesh dwivedi basic presentaion skills](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5492667cb479596d4e8b461f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Non-Verbal Communication
Effective non-verbal communication includes:
• Eye contact• Facial expression• Appearance• Hand gesture• Posture

Visuals
Professor Albert Mehrabian carried out some investigative research several years ago to find out which factors most influence an audience during a presentation.The results showed that most what an audience remembers are things they have seen.The next important factors is the tone of voice used by the presenter and least influential factor is the actual content of the presentation.

Practice Practice is a vital part of preparation. You should leave time to practise your
speech two or three times and also practise with your group. In this way you will:
– become more familiar with what you want to say
– identify weaknesses in your presentation
– be able to practise difficult pronunciations
– be able to check the time that your presentation takes and make any
necessary modifications .
So practise, practise, practise! Prepare everything: words, visual aids, timing,
equipment. Rehearse your presentation several times and time it. Is it the right
length? Are you completely familiar with all your illustrations? Are they in the
right order? Can you give good comments to your visuals? How will you
answer difficult questions? Do you know the room? Are you confident about the
equipment? When you have answered all these questions, you will become
more confident .

Present / Deliver
As presenter, most of the attention is focused on you – what you are saying and how you are delivering your message. To be an effective communicator you must use presentation skills that promote a coordinated presentation.Even a well organised presentation with appealing visual aids can fail to reach its objectives if the presenter’s delivery style is not effective.
![Page 26: Akhilesh dwivedi basic presentaion skills](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5492667cb479596d4e8b461f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Presenter as an “Actor”
When you come to stand on the podium you become the actor of your presentation. During your presentation you are going to speak and not read from your notes. This means using your voice, and also your body language. What is importnat is that you establish eye contact with each member of your audience. Each person should feel that you are speaking directly to him or her. You need to think in advance: Where shall I stand? How shall I keep eye contact? Where shall I keep my hands? What if I get lost? How to manage audience phobia?
![Page 27: Akhilesh dwivedi basic presentaion skills](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020920/5492667cb479596d4e8b461f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Introduction
Introduction is probably the most important part. ThePurpose of the introduction is “to tell the audience what you are going to tell them”. You should remember that there is no second chance for a first bad impression. If you start off badlyyou will spoil everything.During the introduction you need to achieve the following aims:
Gain Attention
attract Interest
create Desire
stimulate Action

Getting started - greeting the audience
• Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.• Welcome to my presentation.• It’s very nice to see you all here today.• Can we get started?• Let me say just a few words about my background...

Making an effective opening
• Give them a problem to think about (Suppose you... Why is it that...)• Give them some amazing facts.(Did you know that ...)• Give them a story or a personal anecdote.(stories always atract
attention) • Use a citation (if you want to start on a more philosophical note) • Make a funny remark(but be careful with humour, not all jokes work well)• Record a music piece perhaps (if appropriate for the topic)
There are several ways how to attract the audience right from the beginning. Think of one of the following techniques to introduce your talk:
