- It’s the scariest thing for some people who try to hide themselves at the
sight of large audience, whereas for some people, it is as natural as their
being.
- The very word presentation makes some of us panic and we are ready
with all the possible excuses to avoid speaking in front of the audience,
whereas some of us look at it as an opportunity to express our views in
public.
3. Positive Attitude towards “PRESENTATION”:
- A confident and positive student is one who excels in the art of
presentation by overcoming his fears and nervousness.
- A good presenter is not the one who only presents his views in front of the
audience regardless of the fact whether they are interested in listening to him
or not…..instead, a good presenter is one who engages the audience while
sharing his views and keeps their interest maintained.

7. STEP I
The Material of PRESENTATION:
The first step in the presentation is the preparation of the material. Once
enough supportive material is collected, it should be given a proper structure:
how to begin, what to follow next, charts, pictures and so on.
One must always remember that the success
depends more upon the preparation than on
the actual presentation:
90% preparation and 10% preparation
8. STEP II
Controlling YOURSELF:
The second stage is exercising self control. One is likely to get nervous at the
thought of giving a presentation.
Stop at moments and take a deep breath to relax yourself.
Once relaxed, one can pay better attention to the other key points of the
presentation and speak up confidently.
One should keep the following points in mind:
- Maintain an eye-contact
- Stand Steady
- Keep shoulders back and straight

control over the audience.
Try to find out the needs and requirements so as to make your message clear,
simple and easily accessible. The basic purpose of the presentation should be
such that the audience is able to comprehend the message easily.
