05/12/2011 DWC+ Teleclass: Seven Steps of Highly Effective Presentations with Jacki Rose

1. Turning business professionals into professional presenters!
Present for Success
1 Preparation
♦ Determine your desired outcomes
♦ Write down what your audience needs to know
♦ Write out your entire presentation word for word
2 Strong Opening
♦ Get them in the right frame of mind to be receptive to your message
♦ Personal story is best that demonstrates you relate and care
♦ Question, quote, newspaper article, etc.
3 PowerPoint – You are your presentation, not your slides
♦ Should you use it? If you have to ask, probably not
♦ What your slides should look like – no text, just images to enhance the presentation
♦ How to present using it? Screen off to the side if possible; you stand center stage
4 Confidence – appear confident and the audience will have
confidence in you and what you are presenting
♦ Take command and have faith in yourself
♦ Your audience is on your side
♦ Visualize yourself presenting
5 Engaging – Include examples, stories, analogies
♦ Vocal inflection and body language
♦ Authenticity and personality
♦ Have fun with your presentation
6 Questions & Answers – before your closing
♦ Have time for Q&A
♦ Answer from center stage to everyone
♦ Keep your answers short and succinct
7 Closing – What do you want them to remember and do?
♦ Send them away with impact
♦ Personal story, bring back the opening, sum up all points, etc.
♦ Emphasize the benefit to them
