Some Presentation Skills and Templates

Now for some general presentations tips which can be quite handy. simple, but effective stuff.

1) While giving a presentation, don’t station yourself in one location, cuz if you do so, the audience has to look in one direction alone and lose interest faster.

Instead, if you move (don’t jog around though) the audience eye moves along with you, by this, you can know how many of them are actually listening and then accordingly apply other tricks to gain maximum attention. Here are a few templates PPT/ Powerpoint to get you started.

The attitude which you keep while giving a presentation is very important. Always give presentations as if you are there to entertain the audience, like the movies. U need have to convey your message AND entertain them. So, how exactly to keep your audience entertained?

Use humor in ur speech

Involve ur audience in the speech, in form of Qs, quizzes, use them to illustrate examples. you can even add the prize factor like if anyone answers the Q, they get a prize. the prize can be a Rs.5 chocolate, but it can do wonders for your presentation.

USe interesting ppts so that people will at least look at the screen (I’ll take ppts in detail later though). if you have to use transparencies, never hand-write them, always print on your transparencies. even there, use cartoons and humor as much as possible. Don’t add too much text.
