Practicing and Preparing Your Presentation

Delay. We are all guilty of this vice. Do not do it. Take the first step in preparing your presentation. Requiring the chair and get ready. Preparation may not be the most exciting aspect of your project, but may be the single most important ingredient in his presentation. You may be able to charm anyone on the ground or have the charisma of the most dynamic in the world, but preparation for a speech or a reunion, you can stumble and fall. How to prepare it?

En primer lugar, imaginar a su público. Who they are. What are your expectations. How will you connect with them. What you mean. What we expect to achieve. Details: Should you be when you give your presentation – the facilities, the lighting. You need to know specifically what type of presentation that is going to happen. Åre to motivate an audience? Give value and / or timely information? Trying to sell something? How are you going to do? What do you mean?

Ideas, ideas, ideas. You have so many. Random or targeted, to write all these ideas. Even if you do not seem to relate to each other. Take three minutes and scribble ideas for presentation on a sheet of paper. Do not think this process. Ideas that may seem ridiculous at first may encourage more sensible and / or practical ideas that can create unusual partnerships that lead to unique ideas. Do not stop writing. Do not go back and edit or across all words. Let your thoughts flow like a river. As with visual art, make thumbnail sketches, but with words instead of pictures.

All rights reserved. Now what? Take another three minutes to review what you’ve written. With pen or pencil or felt marker, make circles and arrows to connect the logical relationships between ideas. Which correspond to each other. Identify the ideas that could surprise and become sub-items of other ideas. Reorganize the ideas that are logically prior to others. Identify the main ideas.

Construct a linear sequence of ideas. Create an opening, a body and a conclusion. A natural balance of three major parts of your presentation so that they flow easily but effectively. To summarize all the ideas how to work together.

Once you’ve organized your presentation and in writing, how do you open? First, you need an icebreaker to warm your audience. Choose one, depending on your style. Tell a joke or story. Ask a question. Try an unusual, body language says it all. Change your tone of voice. Give the public a surprising fact, theory or controversial. Use objects and audience participation. Or choose one of their own unique way to open your presentation. The main thing is to create a way to get attention, and then enter your objective – the objective or goal of your presentation.

Then, the next trick is to keep public attention to the body of your presentation. Add rhetorical technique. The various forms of support and each of its points. To this end, plans to use examples, analogies or questions. Weave a story throughout your presentation. Use of metaphors, which clearly illustrate their points. If it works for your presentation, a demonstration or an example for the physical drive of your ideas. To complete your presentation, create a fabulous celebration.

There are more than just words for a presentation. Gestures need to craft to be used. You do not want to remain a pole on stage. Use gestures to activate your body kinesthetic awareness, which is going to present expansive. Trying new gestures can be uncomfortable for you, but will raise awareness of what your body is doing while your mind is processing content. Create three gestures and include in their submission. In the beginning, forcing you to try some new gestures will help you see what works. After extending their range of gestures, which will become more natural and original. Try these gestures with parts of their text, respecting oneself in a mirror. Make sure your elbows and extend from the torso.

The practice and the time of submission. If their grades are too broad, will not be easy or comfortable to read while presenting. If you need notes, use of fragments of words (one to four words) to their limited highlights (half dozen most presentations.). Write these words on pieces of index cards.

Finally, practice, practice, practice. Use your mirror, your friends, your dog. Same record, audio and visual. Study. Time that. Cut, edit it, smooth out so that when you give your presentation, you know so well, do not need the dog’s ears after all, index cards.
