How to be a good presenter
1.
2. 3 Common Error When
Presenting
• They allow their mind and nerves to
take over
• They feel the need to tell the audience
everything they know on the subject
matter and end up with a lot of detail
having little impact
• Poor body language is displayed, such as
lack of eye contact and poor posture.
4. 1.Research Your Topic
It’s important to spend enough time
collecting and confirming information in
order to speak with confidence and
knowledge.
5. 2.Organize Main Point
Organize the main points in the most
appropriate order for the topic you’re
presenting. Avoid writing complete
sentences or paragraphs and prepare note
cards to help you elaborate on the
information presented.
6. 3.Practice & Understand
Do not memorize written texts. Try to
understand the topic to the best of your
ability so you can communicate it well
during the presentation and meet the
time limit. Practice for a friend or a
family member and get their feedback on
your presentation skills.
7. 4.Keep Calm
It’s common to be stressed before a
presentation, try picturing yourself
impressing the audience. Also, it’s
important to relax before the
presentation and think about nothing but
how to make the most out of it.
8. 5.Dress Smartly
Dress well for the presentation, usually a
formal outfit is preferred to show the
level of professionalism. Appearance says
a lot about someone’s personality and
confidence.
9. 6.Eye Contact & Interact
Do scanning the room technique by
keeping an eye contact with as many
people as you can and keep interact well
and nicely with the audience.
10. 7.Speak Clearly
Speak in a load and clear voice to get your
presentation through to the audience
even the ones sitting further away.
11. 8.Answer questions at the
end of the presentation
Make sure you listen to the questions
carefully, ask for clarifications if needed
and repeat the question to the rest of
the audience to give you more time to
think about the answer. If you don’t know
the answer for a question be honest and
say that you will look into it since you
don’t know the answer in the meantime.
12. 9.Learn from your experience
Ask your friend or lecturer for their
feedback to be able to identify your
strengths and weaknesses and help you
improve for next time.
13. 10.Listen from other
presentations
Once you’re done presenting you should
take the time to listen to other
presentations to benefit from presenters’
skills.
