Hinweis der Redaktion
- Why I chose this topic when I volunteered to be part of the SWIC Guest Speaker FEAR factorâŠ. to âstretchâ NOT an expertâŠ..have spent time gathering information fom variety of sourcesâŠ.primarily from Zig Ziglar manual I picked up at a seminar 20 years ago. Finally, experience with ToastmastersâŠ.best thing you can do for yourself if you want to get over presentation jitters
- To be effective, need to cover these 5 areas Each is important Failure in one area brings down the entire presentation
- While poor performance in any one of the 5 areas can hurt your presentation, this can be the most fatal. MUST ask: What do you want me to talk about and then STICK TO IT! Part of prep is timing and Iâll address that in the next slide MUST ask: who will I speak to and what will they get out of my presentation? Example: I can use the same slides w/junior high students but I would have to change things to accommodate themâŠ.their experience and maturity level is so different from yours that adjustments would be absolutely necessary.
- While part of preparation, I list separately because I see it abused SO often! Always askâŠ.how much time do I have and then plan for that.
- 55% of what you communicate about your attitude and feelings comes through your body language! If you are stiff, you are telling people you are âŠâŠ????? Nervous? Scared? Unsure of yourself? Letâs talk about several key components of body languageâŠ.
- Posture, posture, postureâŠ..do I sound like your mother yet? There is an âidealâ posture for speakersâŠ.. squared shoulders is obvious butâŠ. slight lean forwardâŠ.Zig Ziglar calls this the âready positionâ ⊠youâre ready to roll! GesturesâŠ. What should you do with your hands? (SueâŠ.pocket change? Buttons, pen, papers, twiddling) At sides if not specifically gesturing for effect
- Very specific advice here and again, based on a Zig Ziglar seminar and reinforced in any speaking workshop or class youâll attendâŠ. The 3-5 seconds can be called an âeye claspââŠ.just as you clasp someoneâs hand in a shade for just a few seconds to make that important âcontactâ You might also hear that it helps to look slightly above someoneâs eyes if it makes you uncomfortable to make direct eye contact
- No dancing please but no stiff boards either! Also depends on your venueâŠ.is it a formal speech behind a lectern or a presentation such as this? If you have room, MOVE a little but just donât get to the point of annoyance. Movements need to appear natural rather than rehearsedâŠ..if you are not comfortable and have to force the gestures, practice more!
- Nearly 40% of what you communicate orally is a result of your voiceâŠnot the message itself but simply the SOUND! Volume is critical of courseâŠ..oftentimes audience members in the back wonât tell you they canât hear you so you need to ask if thereâs any doubt Err on the loud side â Havenât run into too many people who donât have vocal varietyâŠ..we do this naturally but there are those who have to work at itâŠ.if you are one of thoseâŠ.do just thatâŠ.work at it practice by reading passages from books out loud childrensâ stories are great for practice
- To use or not to use? To answer that question, particularly in regard to PowerPoint, you need to ask yourself, âWhat is the purpose of using visuals?â Does the audience need a focus for this type of presentation? (particularly important if presentation is more than 15 minutes) Do they need reinforcement of the materialâŠare there specific things they may want to remember? Is the material so complex that a visual will help them understand? If you answer yes to any of these, you should have visuals. When NOT to use visualsâŠ. EXAMPLE: NHS induction Speech under 15-20 minutes from a lectern
- Note that I specifically referred to PowerPoint in the previous slide when asking whether to use or not to useâŠ. Any time you can effectively use some sort of visual â DO IT! PPT is noted specifically because it sometimes gets overused. PropsâŠ.always nice and effective in getting the attention of the audience Flip chartsâŠ.not very common anymore but donât discountâŠ.can be very useful if you donât have appropriate tech availableâŠ.nice âback-upâ too!
- Tips for using PowerPoint or other electronic presentation media VERY important NOT to show LOTS of textâŠ.no one can read it anyway Sans serif typeâŠ..not something widely discussed but important to noteâŠ.studies show that itâs easier to read on a screen while serif type is easier on paper.
- Rehearse with a timer! DONâT memorizeâŠ.can be dangerous if you forget a line best to run through a couple of times with brief notes and then expand notes if you think needed
- Quick recap comments Questions you might have about presenting materialâŠ.. Donât have all the answers but maybe through group discussion we can solve issues!
