Present like a
Professional
babuappat@gmail.com
Most of us have experienced dull, irrelevant, or
confusing presentations. But think back to the
last really great presentation you saw - one
that was informative, motivating, and
inspiring. Wouldn't you love to be able to
present like that?
Avoiding Common Pitfalls in Your
Presentation
we will look at 10 of the most
common mistakes that speakers
make when giving presentations
you'll make your presentations stand
out - for all of the right reasons, and
none of the wrong ones.
Not Preparing Enough
Steve Jobs was a famously inspiring
speaker. His speeches may have
looked effortless, but, in reality, each
one took days or weeks of
preparation.
The amount of time you spend on planning
depends on your situation, but it's a good idea
to start early - you can never be too well-
prepared
Proper preparation also helps you
manage presentation nerves. When
you know your material inside and
out, you're far less likely to feel
nervous.
Not Familiarising Yourself With the
Venue and Equipment
You arrive at the venue and, to your horror, the
projector won't work with your laptop. The
slides you spent hours preparing are useless.
This is a disaster!
You can avoid a situation like this by
taking time to familiarise yourself with
the venue and available equipment at
least once before your presentation
Often, the sort of problems that can
jeopardise your presentation will be
situations beyond your control, but
this doesn't mean that you are
helpless.
Conduct a risk analysis to identify
potential issues, and come up with a
good "Plan B" for each one
Ignoring Your Audience
Sometimes, speakers can get so
wrapped up in delivering their
presentations that they forget about
the needs of their audience
Start your presentation by telling your
audience what to expect. Let them
know what you will cover first,
whether and when you'll stop for a
break, if you'll be taking questions
during the presentation, and so on
 Before you tell them anything tell them
what you’re going to tell them.
(Introduction)
 Then tell them what you want to tell
them (trunk/body)
 Then tell them what you’ve told them
(recapitulation)
 Then tell them to tell you back what
you’ve told them (reinforcement)
 Then tell them to tell you what they
think about the whole of what’s told
(feedback)
 Never forget to tell them you’re grateful
to them (close)
Providing these "signposts" up front
will give your audience a clear idea
of what to expect, so that they can
relax and concentrate on your
presentation
Using Inappropriate
Content
The primary purpose of any
presentation is to share information
with others, so it's important to
consider the level you will pitch it at
Do some research on your audience.
Why are they here? How much do
they already know about your topic,
and what do they most want to learn
from you?
It's no use giving a presentation that is
so full of jargon that no one
understands you. But you wouldn't
want to patronise people, either
Try to put yourself in people's shoes to
get a clearer idea about their needs
and motivations.
You can also greet individuals as they
arrive on the day, and
ask questions to get a feel for their
level of knowledge.
This will also help you personalise your
presentation and make a connection
with each person in your audience, so
that they'll be more attentive to what
you say
Being Too Verbose
Short, concise presentations are
often more powerful than
verbose ones.
Try to limit yourself to a few
main points.
If you take too long getting to your
point, you risk losing your
audience's attention
The average adult has a 15- to 20-
minute attention span, so, if you
want to keep your audience
engaged, stick to the point.
During the planning phase, make
a note of the themes you want to
cover and how you want to get
them across.
Then, when you start filling out
the details, ask yourself:
"Does my audience really
need to know this?"
Using Ineffective Visuals
Poor slides can spoil a good
presentation, so it's worth
spending time getting yours
right.
We've all seen slides with garish
colours, unnecessary animation, or
fonts that are too small to read. The
most effective presentation
visuals aren't flashy - they're concise
and consistent.
When choosing colors, think about
where the presentation will take
place.

Overcrowding Text
Mistake 7: Overcrowding Text
The best rule of thumb for text is to keep it simple. Don't try to cram too much information into your slides. Aim
for a maximum of three to four words within each bullet point, and no more than three bullets per slide.
This doesn't mean that you should spread your content over dozens of slides. Limit yourself to 10 slides or fewer
for a 30-minute presentation. Look at each slide, story, or graph carefully. Ask yourself what it adds to the
presentation, and remove it if it isn't important

Speaking Incoherently
Even though we spend a significant
part of the day talking to one
another, speaking to an audience is a
surprisingly difficult skill, and it's
one that we need to practice
If nerves make you rush through a
presentation, your audience could
miss your most important points.
Use centering or deep breathing techniques
to suppress the urge to rush. If you do
begin to babble, take a moment to collect
yourself. Breathe deeply, and enunciate
each word clearly, while you focus on
speaking more slowly
Better public speaking has strategies and
tips that you can use to become a more
engaging speaker.
One useful technique is storytelling - stories
can be powerful tools for inspiring and
engaging others.
Showing a Lack of Dynamism
How to make a presentation  perfect- Take some tips, master some skills and present perfectly
Some presenters feel most comfortable
behind the podium. Try to emulate great
speakers like Steve Jobs, who moved
purposefully around the stage during his
presentations
As well as working the stage, he used
gestures and body language to
communicate his excitement and
passion for his subject.
Pay attention to what your hands are doing
- they're important for communicating
emotion. But only use gestures if they
feel natural, and avoid being too
flamboyant with your arms, unless you
want to make your audience laugh!
Avoiding Eye Contact
Have you ever been to a presentation
where the speaker spent all of his
time looking at his notes, the screen,
the floor, or even at the ceiling?
Meeting a person's gaze establishes a
personal connection, and even a quick
glance can keep people engaged. If your
audience is small enough, try to make
eye contact with each individual at least
once
If the audience is too large for this, try
looking at people's foreheads. The
individual may not interpret it as
eye contact, but those sitting around
them will
It takes practice and effort to deliver a
good presentation. But, if you know
how to avoid the pitfalls, your
presentations will be great
Common presentation mistakes
include not preparing properly,
delivering inappropriate content,
and speaking poorly
Time spent on careful planning always
pays dividends. Check the venue
out, and familiarise yourself with
equipment in advance to avoid
possible problems
Keep your content clear and concise,
with visual aids to match. And make
sure that you pitch it at the right
level for your audience's
understanding, so that your
presentation doesn't patronise or
bewilder
Avoid "rapid-fire" delivery.
Use eye contact, body language, and
gestures that complement your
message to keep your audience
engaged
Keep in mind these points next time
you make a presentation.
It’s going to be great then.

How to make a presentation perfect- Take some tips, master some skills and present perfectly

  • 2. Most of us have experienced dull, irrelevant, or confusing presentations. But think back to the last really great presentation you saw - one that was informative, motivating, and inspiring. Wouldn't you love to be able to present like that?
  • 3. Avoiding Common Pitfalls in Your Presentation
  • 4. we will look at 10 of the most common mistakes that speakers make when giving presentations
  • 5. you'll make your presentations stand out - for all of the right reasons, and none of the wrong ones.
  • 7. Steve Jobs was a famously inspiring speaker. His speeches may have looked effortless, but, in reality, each one took days or weeks of preparation.
  • 8. The amount of time you spend on planning depends on your situation, but it's a good idea to start early - you can never be too well- prepared
  • 9. Proper preparation also helps you manage presentation nerves. When you know your material inside and out, you're far less likely to feel nervous.
  • 10. Not Familiarising Yourself With the Venue and Equipment
  • 11. You arrive at the venue and, to your horror, the projector won't work with your laptop. The slides you spent hours preparing are useless. This is a disaster!
  • 12. You can avoid a situation like this by taking time to familiarise yourself with the venue and available equipment at least once before your presentation
  • 13. Often, the sort of problems that can jeopardise your presentation will be situations beyond your control, but this doesn't mean that you are helpless.
  • 14. Conduct a risk analysis to identify potential issues, and come up with a good "Plan B" for each one
  • 16. Sometimes, speakers can get so wrapped up in delivering their presentations that they forget about the needs of their audience
  • 17. Start your presentation by telling your audience what to expect. Let them know what you will cover first, whether and when you'll stop for a break, if you'll be taking questions during the presentation, and so on
  • 18.  Before you tell them anything tell them what you’re going to tell them. (Introduction)  Then tell them what you want to tell them (trunk/body)  Then tell them what you’ve told them (recapitulation)
  • 19.  Then tell them to tell you back what you’ve told them (reinforcement)  Then tell them to tell you what they think about the whole of what’s told (feedback)  Never forget to tell them you’re grateful to them (close)
  • 20. Providing these "signposts" up front will give your audience a clear idea of what to expect, so that they can relax and concentrate on your presentation
  • 22. The primary purpose of any presentation is to share information with others, so it's important to consider the level you will pitch it at
  • 23. Do some research on your audience. Why are they here? How much do they already know about your topic, and what do they most want to learn from you?
  • 24. It's no use giving a presentation that is so full of jargon that no one understands you. But you wouldn't want to patronise people, either
  • 25. Try to put yourself in people's shoes to get a clearer idea about their needs and motivations.
  • 26. You can also greet individuals as they arrive on the day, and ask questions to get a feel for their level of knowledge.
  • 27. This will also help you personalise your presentation and make a connection with each person in your audience, so that they'll be more attentive to what you say
  • 29. Short, concise presentations are often more powerful than verbose ones.
  • 30. Try to limit yourself to a few main points. If you take too long getting to your point, you risk losing your audience's attention
  • 31. The average adult has a 15- to 20- minute attention span, so, if you want to keep your audience engaged, stick to the point.
  • 32. During the planning phase, make a note of the themes you want to cover and how you want to get them across.
  • 33. Then, when you start filling out the details, ask yourself: "Does my audience really need to know this?"
  • 35. Poor slides can spoil a good presentation, so it's worth spending time getting yours right.
  • 36. We've all seen slides with garish colours, unnecessary animation, or fonts that are too small to read. The most effective presentation visuals aren't flashy - they're concise and consistent.
  • 37. When choosing colors, think about where the presentation will take place.
  • 43. Overcrowding Text Mistake 7: Overcrowding Text The best rule of thumb for text is to keep it simple. Don't try to cram too much information into your slides. Aim for a maximum of three to four words within each bullet point, and no more than three bullets per slide. This doesn't mean that you should spread your content over dozens of slides. Limit yourself to 10 slides or fewer for a 30-minute presentation. Look at each slide, story, or graph carefully. Ask yourself what it adds to the presentation, and remove it if it isn't important
  • 44. The best rule of thumb for text is to keep it simple.
  • 45. Don't try to cram too much information into your slides. Aim for a maximum of three to four words within each bullet point, and no more than three bullets per slide
  • 46. This doesn't mean that you should spread your content over dozens of slides. Limit yourself to 10 slides or fewer for a 30-minute presentation.
  • 47. Look at each slide, story, or graph carefully. Ask yourself what it adds to the presentation, and remove it if it isn't important
  • 49. Even though we spend a significant part of the day talking to one another, speaking to an audience is a surprisingly difficult skill, and it's one that we need to practice
  • 50. If nerves make you rush through a presentation, your audience could miss your most important points.
  • 51. Use centering or deep breathing techniques to suppress the urge to rush. If you do begin to babble, take a moment to collect yourself. Breathe deeply, and enunciate each word clearly, while you focus on speaking more slowly
  • 52. Better public speaking has strategies and tips that you can use to become a more engaging speaker. One useful technique is storytelling - stories can be powerful tools for inspiring and engaging others.
  • 53. Showing a Lack of Dynamism
  • 55. Some presenters feel most comfortable behind the podium. Try to emulate great speakers like Steve Jobs, who moved purposefully around the stage during his presentations
  • 56. As well as working the stage, he used gestures and body language to communicate his excitement and passion for his subject.
  • 57. Pay attention to what your hands are doing - they're important for communicating emotion. But only use gestures if they feel natural, and avoid being too flamboyant with your arms, unless you want to make your audience laugh!
  • 59. Have you ever been to a presentation where the speaker spent all of his time looking at his notes, the screen, the floor, or even at the ceiling?
  • 60. Meeting a person's gaze establishes a personal connection, and even a quick glance can keep people engaged. If your audience is small enough, try to make eye contact with each individual at least once
  • 61. If the audience is too large for this, try looking at people's foreheads. The individual may not interpret it as eye contact, but those sitting around them will
  • 62. It takes practice and effort to deliver a good presentation. But, if you know how to avoid the pitfalls, your presentations will be great
  • 63. Common presentation mistakes include not preparing properly, delivering inappropriate content, and speaking poorly
  • 64. Time spent on careful planning always pays dividends. Check the venue out, and familiarise yourself with equipment in advance to avoid possible problems
  • 65. Keep your content clear and concise, with visual aids to match. And make sure that you pitch it at the right level for your audience's understanding, so that your presentation doesn't patronise or bewilder
  • 66. Avoid "rapid-fire" delivery. Use eye contact, body language, and gestures that complement your message to keep your audience engaged
  • 67. Keep in mind these points next time you make a presentation. It’s going to be great then.
