In my line of work I do whole lot of presentations and speeches. I speak frequently at press conferences, and sales presentations. Back when I started I used to just fly by the seat of my pants. Generally, I was organised by would most often just figure it out as I went along. This worked out fairly well for me at the start, especially when I was talking to audiences of less than 50 people. But it started being less effective when I was talking to groups of people of four or 500 people at a time.

The pressure of talking to large groups of people makes a little harder to think on your feet. If such an important thing to do is to be done, then it should be done well and to the best of your ability. Often when you’re a presenting too much larger groups of people, it’s important to remember that there is often a lot more riding on the result of a presentation too.

it’s a recommendation of mind that you rehearse your presentation. But I feel quite nervous when I rehearsed my presentation in a room by myself in front of the mirror. So I didn’t do it. But then one day I had a very important presentation to do, and most decided that this is the time and the place amid a start rehearsing my skills before I present them in real life. Something strange happened that day. I started to discover holes in my presentation, where there had been done before. Well, in fact, there were holes in my presentation before, I just didn’t see them.

I went through my presentation. At least 10 times before, I felt comfortable with it. I fixed up the bits that needed fixing and put together a killer presentation that if executed would move my career forward in ways that I had only imagined. I went on to perform at presentation in front of approximately 1000 people, and it was amazing experience. I was contacted after the presentation by some of my peers and asked to speak within their companies and organisations. I realise that if I want to become the best at what I do I need to practise what I do often. I now apply this technique toward anything that I intend to become good at. I believe that if you rehearse anything you become good at it dramatically. Get a few friends together, let them know what your intention is, and have them point out areas where you can improve. Before you know it they will be consuming toward your success, and you will be contributing toward theirs.

Managing a business today is a challenging task. The competition is stiff and the challenges are always present. Marketing your business in different ways will keep it alive and ahead of its competitors. Conducting presentations is important to gain more clients and potential business partners. Doing so will give you better opportunities to improve your company. You just have to be an effective speaker to impress your audience and get the deal you want. Here are the best ways to do this.

Be Specific: Say What You Mean and Mean What You Say

This is a general rule for speakers, especially when it comes to business presentations. You need to be specific about what you are discussing. Provide facts instead of just presenting speculations. You can use examples to make your presentation more understandable. Go straight to the point. Remember that your audience consists of entrepreneurs and customers who want to know how your products or services will benefit them. Provide them the right information they need and convince them that they need your company.

Be Clear and Energetic

State your ideas clearly and precisely. You should observe consistency in everything you say. This will make your audience believe in what you are presenting. Always be energetic and avoid dull moments. Do not let shyness ruin your presentation. Interact with your audience by entertaining their questions with a positive approach. This will keep your presentation from being boring.

Use Effective Presentation Media

The media you use play a great role in making your presentation awesome and effective. PowerPoint, for example, is a traditional yet effective presentation tool. Avoid using too many effects, as this may defeat your purpose of catching your audiences attention. Excessive presentation effects will make your slides hard to understand. A high-quality video template is also an effective tool to draw attention. A reliable advertising company can provide a good video for your next business meeting.

Groom Yourself

Proper grooming is also important. You should be as presentable as possible because your audience consists of professionals. A business suit will do for all types of presentation. Do not forget to wear enough perfume and makeup. It is ideal to look at yourself in the mirror before the start of your meeting to makes sure you are well groomed.

Be Confident

Confidence is your best weapon. You need to be confident if you want to impress your audience. Study and master your presentation, and practice clear delivery. The way you stand and speak affects the reliability of the information you provide. Be authoritative and confident about what you are saying. This will help you convince your audience that they need your products or services.

Nail Your Presentation

Nail your presentation by starting with a warm welcome and ending with an effective call to action. Your audience knows what to do. They will automatically approach you or contact your office if they like your presentation. Give them time to decide, but never forget to provide them your contact details.

The range of media available to us today can be seemingly endless, and each type of media allows opportunities to develop presentation ideas. When stuck for a message for a meeting or event, your solution could be in one of the newest of the many forms of media – Social media.

When I talk about social media, this includes sites such as Facebook and MySpace which allow you to see and interact with others online. Social media is an online presence where the content is produced and shared by the users of the media rather than the operators of the system.

These sites incorporate a function where users are able to provide updates about what they are doing and thinking about and users also have the capacity to upload pictures and clips which have caught their attention or interest.

A clip which is widely shared in this way is referred to as having gone Viral. Introducing your presentation through referring to a viral clip or posting from social media establishes a link with those of your audience who had previously been exposed to the clip. It also demonstrates to your audience that you are aware of things happening in the broader community.

There are however things to be aware of in relation to the use of “Viral” media. The first is that the on-line world moves extremely quickly and where clothes might last a season (or more) things that are current and everybody is talking about today can be forgotten in a week or two. There are exceptions such as the audition clip of Susan Boyle which gained such a high and lasting profile in transitioned from social to news media, however for most viral media the shelf life is very short.

Also consider the audience when using social media references. Do you think the majority of the audience are likely to be familiar with social media? If so and you spend too much time describing the media article which they have already seen for themselves, their attention will soon wane.

From the opposite point of view, also be aware of making assumptions. If you introduce your presentation with a reference to a social media clip without enough content or background to explain it, those that have not seen the media item will not understand the reference. In practice it is a balancing act and the successful speaker will need to find a middle point to meet the whole audience.

Another social media platform is Twitter, and no, those posts from people using the site should not be referred to as a twit, rather they are called tweets and provide a very short comment about what the user is thinking.

An interesting function in Twitter is the trend information. Trend data allows users to see what topics and authors are currently popular and this, like the viral clips, provides an insight into what things are of interest to many people at any given time.

Incorporating content that you know is on broad interest is going to increase your opportunities to engage your audience and bring them with you through the presentation journey.

Tips for taking telling to a true transfer of ideas

· Social Media can provide very up to date information on what is of interest in the community
· Use social media that is fresh and recognise it’s generally short shelf life.
· Provide an appropriate amount of context around the social media content, don’t over explain or provide too little background
