Presentation Skills

Presentation skills are very important in the world today. People use them everyday, in work, at school and even talking to friends. Presentation skills can be as simple as using gestures to a large presentation.

So today, I am going to help you improve your presentation skills and change them to perfection.

Firstly, in a presentation, if it is all boring and simply plain text with no colours or pictures then no one is going to be interested and the a main factor of presentation skills is to keep your audience interested and informed. So, simply add a couple of pictures to your PowerPoint, don't go crazy! Also, don't forget colours, bright colours, for example yellow. Yellow is a nice, happy, exciting colour that will interest all audiences.

Secondly, don't read directly from a sheet of paper or from the board. You need to engage your audience and make them feel like you are talking directly to them. So have a couple of pointers on the board that you can read and then expand from.

Another good point is enthusiasm. If you are boring the whole way through your presentation then your audience will lose focus and not listen to what you are saying and you don't want that. So be enthusiastic and cheerful, this will make your audience interested.

Eye contact will mean that your audience will feel like you are talking directly to them. This is another way to make them feel involved and will keep them interested in your presentation.

Asking questions will implicate that you are interested in what they think, again this will keep them interested and also involved.

Hand gestures will show that you mean what you say and also that you are interested in what you are presenting. This will make your audience happy that you are interested in what they are interested in because they will think that you have something in common.

Speaking clearly and loudly is a good presentation skill becuase this simply means that everyone will be able to hear you.

Lastly, always have a smile because this means that you apper warm and calm, which will make the presentation a all round good one.

So thats it, follow all these steps and you will have a really good presentation. I will leave a video that will act as extra help.
