Hier erfahren Sie, wie Sie als kritischer Denker effektive Präsentationen halten können.

While you identify the audience and need. You need to discover and overcome your personal prejudices and bias. Make a reasonable intelligent decisions about what to believe and what to do.

One of the core steps at the onset of the process of creating a presentation is to ensure that our analysis of the audience needs is thorough and insightful. We should be agile and be prepared to dial up or dial down the content, depending on the audience. By understanding who our audience is, what they already know, and what their learning needs are, we can create presentations that are truly valuable to the audience. For example, if we are presenting to a board of directors, we might focus on strategic insights and high-level data rather than technical details. Conversely, if our audience is a group of junior employees, we should provide more detailed explanations and practical examples to help them grasp the concepts better.

Needs & Expectations - The two most powerful warriors in any battle for gaining the final goal. In regards to this I just remember the story of Alice in the land of wander : advice from Cat on the crossing roads - "If you don't have an idea where you want to arrive, then any road you take is OK. But if we know what our goal is ( Needs & Expectations) then easy we choose the right road. Keep going on the right road my friends 🤗🙏🏻🌞💯

Most importantly, you must have a thorough understanding of the content of your presentation. The better your understanding, the more interactive and high-quality your communication will be. You will be able to talk with more confidence, use language that the majority of the audience understands, and keep you audience more interested in listening.

When structuring my content, I start by presenting the big picture. This involves outlining the ultimate goal, the steps to achieve it, and the potential hurdles we might encounter. After setting this context, I dive into each step and hurdle in detail, treating each as a distinct section of the presentation. I regularly refer back to the big picture to remind the audience of our overall progress and direction. This approach keeps everyone oriented within the larger framework, using the big picture as our map and the detailed steps as our journey. This method ensures that the audience knows where they are in the broader context, enhancing comprehension and retention.

Knowing your target audience is key to structuring an impactful presentation. A simple structure (introduction, development, conclusion) is effective, but to go further: 1.- Capture attention with a catchy opening hook. 2.- Maintain interest by introducing yourself (if formal) and contextualizing your idea. 3.- Offer a message or moral for reflection. 4.- Finish with a call to action and introduce yourself if you haven't already.

As pessoas devem estar a vontade, melhor ainda serem surpreendidas com informações que justifiquem o tempo que estão dedicando a você. A sua linguagem deve ser compreendidas por elas. Apresentação deve vir de forma organizada para o melhor entendimento.

I consider using a good structure is a must. It helps your audience predict how your speech will go and what they expect to listen. I always make use of an overview slide that shows my agenda. People feel encouraged with a good organization rather than listening to random talks. It shows that you have put some effort before coming to them. It shows that you respect your audience and you know what to say. Of course, there might be some room for improvisation, but this be also predetermined before coming to your audience.

Images can capture complex and abstract concept. Use images, graphs, matrix these will help to give more clear picture and make the PPT more impactful than having only verbiage.

Os recursos devem ser suficientes para trazer sua ideia. Eu particularmente busco conectar com exemplos do cotidiano e evito forçar linguagem corporativa em excesso.

Poster boards have their time, place, and purpose, but when attempting to establish credibility, speakers need to think critically about the impressions each visual aid imparts on the audience.

A picture is worth a thousand of words. When giving a presentation, take into your consideration that you need to visually capture your audience attention. Nobody wants to talk to disconnected audiences. It is a way to trigger some emotions and provoke thoughts. Always use high quality visual aids representing your ideas clearly as this shows your care for your audience. It helps them digest the information while being engaged and perhaps entertained.

Engaging your audience is crucial in presentations because it helps maintain their attention, making your message more memorable and impactful. When the audience is engaged, they are more likely to understand, retain, and act upon the information presented. Engagement fosters interaction, encourages questions, and promotes a deeper connection with the material, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the presentation. It also boosts your credibility and rapport with the audience, making your presentation more persuasive and successful.

Engaging critically is a crucial aspect of delivering effective presentations. It involves anticipating and addressing potential questions or counterarguments, which shows thoughtfulness and maintains audience interest. By posing rhetorical questions, using thought-provoking statements, and encouraging different perspectives, you can transform a passive listening experience into an active learning opportunity. Engaging critically allows you to connect with your audience and make your presentation more impactful and memorable.

One way I use to engage my audience critically is by challenging famous quotes or by twisting them to pose some questions. This is an effective way of thought provoking. It teases your audience to opt out passive listening and to delve into some reflection. People come to your presentation with their minds full of thoughts of their own daily things that could make them not fully present at the moment. It’s the speaker’s job to arouse their curiosity.

When someone has a thought or a counterpoint they are eager to bring up, it makes it very hard for them to listen from then on out. When someone wants to say something, they are no longer actively listening. Having the foresight to address common counter arguments, therefore, not only makes your argument stronger, but it also re-engages your audience to listen to the rest of your presentation.

Interactive Elements: Use questions, polls, or interactive activities to involve the audience. Visual Aids: Utilize slides, charts, and videos to illustrate your points and maintain interest.

Practice, practice and practice your presentation multiple times to improve delivery and timing. Present to a trusted friend or colleague and ask for constructive feedback. This will help you yo make necessary changes to improve clarity and effectiveness.

Body Language: Use confident and open body language to convey your message effectively. Voice Modulation: Vary your tone and pace to keep the audience engaged and emphasize key points.

Practice is essential so your delivery is easy for the audience to consume. As a presenter, you are like a storyteller. You might have an interesting story to tell, but how you deliver that story is crucial. Your delivery should be engaging and smooth, captivating your audience and making the content accessible and memorable. By the time you present to your actual audience, you'll be well-prepared and able to convey your message effectively, just like a skilled storyteller.

Regularly practicing your delivery is crucial for polished presentations. Record yourself, analyze body language, clarity, and effectiveness. Be critical of your own performance to identify and address weaknesses. Practicar regularmente tu entrega es crucial para presentaciones pulidas. Grábate, analiza tu lenguaje corporal, claridad y efectividad. Sé crítico contigo mismo para identificar y abordar debilidades.

Practice effectively by recording yourself appropriately depending on the type of presentation you are giving. If you are speaking virtually, time yourself and record your voice. This will allow you to gauge if you are speaking too fast, too slow, using too many filler words, etc. From there, you can isolate your issues and make improvements much easier. If you are speaking live, time yourself and record a video of you speaking. When speaking live, you need to take into account that your body language and physical presence is just as important as what you’re speaking about. Great speakers add hand gestures and maintain good posture to appear more confident and natural.

After each presentation, always spare some time to reflect on your experience. Understand what went well, what needs improvement and never stop learning. As a critical thinker you might question the effectiveness of your delivery. Were you elaborate enough on what you wanted to explain? Also, opt for guaging some feedback from your audience. Reflect on moments when you garnered audience attention and also understand that it is ok to be imperfect. Most importantly, is to be genuine and show your true self.

Seek Feedback: After your presentation, ask for feedback to understand what worked well and what could be improved. Continuous Improvement: Use the feedback to refine your presentation skills and content for future talks.

De cada sesión, de cada persona te retroalimentas... No tengas miedo de ser un aprendiz incansable, es de ahí que se obtienen ideas increíbles de mejora. Adicional, nunca dejes de actualizar tu presentación y tu speech, el mundo cambia todos los días... ¿Por qué no lo haría tu presentación? (guardando sus proporciones, ¡Claro!)

Appreciating your audience and the place you are going to deliver your address and thanking them for giving you a chance to be with them help you with connecting your audience.

Continuous reflection on your presentation process is essential. Evaluate each presentation to identify strengths and areas for improvement. Seek feedback from diverse sources to gain valuable insights and refine your skills effectively. Reflexionar continuamente sobre tu proceso de presentación es fundamental. Evalúa cada presentación para identificar fortalezas y áreas de mejora. Busca retroalimentación de diversas fuentes para obtener perspectivas valiosas y perfeccionar tus habilidades de manera efectiva.

Always summarized your presentation before you end you presentation. Suffice to point out all your key points. To further emphasized your primary message, present a video or picture that can summarize your whole presentation.

Data and research support: Always support your presentation with evidence like data points, research examples, statics, trends etc. It helps to strengthen your arguments. Such supporting items should be relevant to main topics...

After the presentation, reflect on what went well and what could be improved. Solicit feedback from the audience to refine your future presentations. Continuous improvement helps you become a more effective presenter over time.

Never forget Accessibility. Don't just focus on content. Delivery and accessibility are just as important. It doesn't matter how good your content is if no one can actually understand it. Use Dyslexic friendly fonts, describe your slides out loud, keep to colors that read well and contrast without being too outrageous, keep effects minimal or calm, Make sure words are large enough to read. Provide the slides directly or share access so people can go at their own pace or go back and review afterwards. Make sure your voice can reach everyone without being overwhelmingly loud or too soft, enunciate clearly, test any microphones or speakers in advance to minimize feedback.

As a multicultural person I assure you different cultures and different countries have different ways of thinking and expressing themselves. When you are presenting to the wide range of cultures, make sure you understand cultural differences. Keep your presentation clear and understandable by all. Back up your presentation by strong clear facts. Avoid personal opinions and emotional statements. As a non native English speaker, my teachers had a hard time in years to teach me how to think like English speakers before being able to write like one. The best examples to show this differences are jokes. Jokes never sound good when you translate them.
