What is a Presentation• A Presentation is the process of presenting a topic to an audience.

• It is typically a demonstration, lecture or speech meant to inform, persuade, or build goodwill.

• The process of offering for consideration or display.

• A social introduction, as of a person at court.

• A demonstration, lecture, or welcoming speech.

• A manner or style of speaking, instructing or putting oneself forward.

• The manner of presenting, especially the organization of visual details to create an overall impression.

Types of Presentations

PERSUASIVE

INFORMATIVE

GOODWILL

MOTIVATIONAL

MULTIPURPOSE

• These are the presentations in which you attempt to convince the audience to buy your product or service.

• Persuasive presentations, which are sometimes called transactional, are often motivational.

• For example

A college dorm proctor, during a presentation to new freshmen, may try to motivate the students in her care to avoid drugs, alcohol, and unprotected sex

Persuasive Presentations

Goodwill Presentations

• Goodwill presentations, which often take the form of after-dinner speeches, are often designed to be entertaining--for example, by sharing video highlights of the football or tennis season.

• The purpose of goodwill presentations is pretty obvious.

• That purpose is to build goodwill, to make people feel good about themselves.

Informative Presentations

• Informational presentations include talks, seminars, the presenter or presenters share their expertise, and information is exchanged.

• During the sales process, the sales person may provide information on the product or service to a prospective customer.

• And in an educational setting, an informative presentation may report on changes in the reading curriculum.

Multipurpose Presentations

• Presentations, however, usually have more than one purpose.

• A presentation to employees may be announced as an informative session on new regulations, but in fact may also be an all out effort to persuade workers to buy into the new rules.

Motivation Presentations 

• Motivation is another form of persuasion, but one that somehow takes on a more fervent, highly charged tone.

• Motivational presenters must know what makes the audience tick and zero in on their hot buttons.

• They also must use high-energy presenting tactics in order to capture the audience's attention for the entire message.

5 Tips for Giving Really Amazing Presentations

1. Give it Focus

2. Tell Compelling Stories

3. Give an Entertaining Performance

4. Use Media Only to Enhance

5. Create a Worthy Leave-Behind

• No one is impressed by a presentation that rambles.

• Rambling happens when the speaker is both self-indulgent and unorganized. 

• Outline the structure of your presentation in a way that people can follow easily.

• There must be a reason you are presenting to these people. Most likely you want them to take action of some kind. 

• You need to connect with them emotionally and inspire them to change behavior.

• Not every presenter has to be an actor or comedian, but no one wants to listen to someone drone on in dull monotone.

• Give them an awesome experience.

• Make your audience knows they are worth your effort.

• PowerPoint, visuals and video are powerful presentation tools when used correctly.

• But they can be disastrous distractions when misused.

• So you just delivered the best presentation ever.

• Now your audience heads off to the next speaker, to lunch or back to their desks.

• Give them something to remember you by.

• Be clever and appropriate so people will appreciate your thoughtfulness as well as your ideas.

Boredom• Boredom is an emotional state experienced when an individual is left

without anything in particular to do, and not interested in their surroundings. 

• We have all experienced boredom. 

• Sitting in a class where the teacher is droning on about a topic you don’t care about, you may find yourself daydreaming or staring at a clock that doesn’t seem to be moving. 

• Waiting for a delayed flight to take off at the airport, you may search in vain for something to distract you. 

• Boredom is unpleasant and physically painful. 

• It can make you angry and frustrated. 

• Boredom can also influence your actions in negative ways. 

Boredom Factors• A major cause of boredom is lack of variety.

• Human beings appear to have a need for changes of stimulation.

• Imagine yourself confined to a small room with no windows, no telephone, no television set, no books to read, no interesting pictures on the wall, and no visitors.

• You probably would soon find yourself unbearably bored.
