Developing Your Presentation Skills

How can I get the to listen to me?

Firstly, it is important to have a logical order for the structure, starting from introduction - middle with your main points - conclusion. Next, keep the PowerPoint slides clean & simple, with less text on each slide by using charts, diagrams & pictures. Moreover, provide a handout that the audience can take away afterwards to keep them attracted.

Why am I so nervous?

It is normal to be a bit nervous, besides, look at the positive view as it helps make you more energised. Preparation & practice will reduce nervous! Prepare notes beforehand; have brief notes on postcard sized cards. Followed by a practice beforehand in front of a mirror, with a recorder or in front of a friend.

How can I keep their attention?

Smile, make eye contact, stand up straight & move around a bit. Don't hide behind the podium! Body language is important to keep participants attentions. Followed with a good speech skill. Speak clearly, confidently, concisely & not too fast. Use everyday language rather than jargon (complicated / technical words).
