How to give successful presentations ? (Part II) Energy: Most of people forget that! The energy means, what your feelings will provoke to the audience. I’m not just talking about inspiring TED presentations. You can put feelings even presenting a report, for example, you’re showing trough a slide presentation to your boss or to your colleagues the increasing or decreasing of something talking in a way that will provoke satisfaction, unsatisfaction, fear, proud, engagement! Don’t just give the information, incite a reaction, a solution. Leaders do that! • How are you feeling? If you aren’t sick, GREAT! Forget all your problems and be brilliant, be pleasant with your audience. • What feeling wish you provoke? As I said don’t just give an information, provoke some emotion! • Use your voice in your favour! The voice is the biggest tool/instrument we have. It can bring an opportunity to create a good energy around you presentation. • Incite a reaction/ a reflection. Material • What kind of presentation will you make? In some organizations, there is presentation model with a structural design to follow a system of exposure. If you are free to decide yours, choose an interesting and clean template, do not put long texts, and prefer to put short information as a complement. Your talk is more important. • Use reliable sources! Find reliable sources to base your subject. • Use videos and illustrations. Use videos and photos that represent well what you want to transmit, try to use short videos and the illustrations should be in a high quality. • Less is more! The coolest slide don’t will reach all the expectations, if you aren’t sure about how much creative you can be, prefer to do a simply presentation, clean templates, putting the essential information without grammatical mistakes. Interaction • Be accessible in your talk! If you are comfortable you’ll sound friendly, remember that you’re sharing not teaching a knowledge an information, use a vocabulary in common with your audience, make them comfortable to watch you and be friendly with you when they decide to make a question. • Move yourself! Don’t stay stand in the same position, move yourself, move your arms, walk a little bit and breathe well, because when we stop to breathe we stop to think.
