3.1.3 improving Presentation skills

A presentation is more complex and is delivered to a small, knowledgeable audience at a
conference, seminar or business meeting. Its purpose is more concretely and precisely defined.
Its purpose is usually to inform, explain, persuade or present a point of view. It is followed by a
question-answer session.
Speaking before an audience is an opportunity for the speaker to express his own point of view.
If he is unable to overcome the initial fear and nervousness, the whole floor is literally going
to unfold before him. He would be able to keep the audience engrossed in listening to what he
wishes to state.
Making effective presentations to groups or key individuals is a regular part of an executive’s
job. Delivering a clearly understandable message that gains the support of the listeners
obviously requires expertise in public speaking. Less obviously, it requires that you understand
the perspective of your audience and be willing to adjust your presentation based on feedback
during the session.
Experts tell us that public speaking ranks highest on the list of situations people fear most
(followed by death!). Overcoming this fear requires education and practice, practice, practice!

Few of us are born to be excellent public speakers. We offer encouragement to those who feel
insecure – don’t give up! Organizations such as Toastmasters (and many others) offer proven
techniques for overcoming fear and assistance in mastering master speaking skills. We have seen,
many people become accomplished speakers, who in the past became speechless when asked to
speak in public.
Developing presentation skills is an art where most of the training and learning require greater
focus and attention. Executives, non executives, instructors, trainers and administrators need to
strengthen their skills with respect to their presentations before varied target groups.
