Hier erfahren Sie, wie Sie als Anfänger Vertrauen in Ihre Präsentationsfähigkeiten entwickeln können.

Understanding your topic thoroughly is crucial. For instance, if you're presenting a market analysis report, knowing the data, key trends, and potential implications is essential. This could involve researching market reports, organizing data for clarity, and anticipating questions from the audience. The more prepared you are, the more confident you'll feel when presenting.

To add to this I like to review my recording in 3 ways. 1. With video and audio on 2. With video only 3. With audio only Reviewing recordings in all 3 ways helps you see what you’re doing well and not so well from different perspectives using different senses. I.e. if you say “a show of hands…” and you only say it, but don’t raise your hand you may not notice it with both video and audio, but if you play video only you may notice you didn’t raise your hand. Try this review style when preparing your next presentation to quickly enhance your presentation skills.

I’m teaching my class today about Successful Storytelling. Why, storytelling? Because we’ve been sharing knowledge through stories for 1000’s of years. Our brains are literally wired to listen to stories. If you want to engage with your audience then stories are the best way. Three basics for a good story are: 1. Character 2. Conflict 3. Connection The first two are self-explanatory. The third is how you use the story to connect with the audience. Maybe it’s by creating a visual in their mind or telling a story they can relate to, like being stuck in traffic. Successful Storytelling is the way to connect with your audience.

I totally agree that the engagement of audience is a part of successful presentation, thus, be creative and do not forget to prepare some jokes. Besides that, before opening an important topic I like to prepare a slide with test with possible answers of the topic I am going to present. Do not forget to emphasize the right answer during presentation and comfort the audience not to make those people, who made a mistake during the test, feel bad.

Support tools such as slides, props, or handouts can enhance your presentation. For instance, if you're presenting a project timeline, visual aids and handouts can help clarify key milestones and keep the audience engaged. It's important to ensure that these tools complement your speech and do not distract from it.

Seeking constructive criticism from your audience or peers is crucial for improvement. After presenting a new business strategy, for example, feedback can provide valuable insights into what resonated well and what could be improved, helping you refine your skills for future presentations.

There might be situations (e.g. long presentation when you train employees) when you meed to send the materials prior the presentation. That might help to prepare right questions. And do not forget to share with the materials after the presentation.

Besides all the shaking of the bodies. The understanding of 2nd language is also important where English is. It's quite difficult to emphasize the knowledge into word in different language where we are not familiar with.
