Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2. INTRODUCTION
Whenever you work in a business organisation or any vocational
institution, or you are a student, it is essential that you possess good
public speaking skill.
Throughout career, you are bound to encounter innumerable situations
which demand effective presentations.
These circumstances differ in purpose, the strategies you need to make
good presentation do not differ much
The ability to make effective and memorable oral presentations is one of
the most important qualities you need develop for a successful career.
Here let’s see about some of the effective presentation strategies.
3. DEFINING PURPOSE
The purpose of the presentation not only decides the content but also
affects the amount of interaction.
When your purpose is to persuade people to take a particular action, or
to collaborate with them in solving a problem, or making a decision, the
interaction would be more.
Depending upon your purpose you should be flexible enough to adjust to
new input and unexpected audience reactions.
ANALYSING AUDIENCE AND LOCALE
All audience have one thing in common. They are at the receiving end of
your communication.
The nature of your audience has direct impact on the strategy you divise
for your presentation
4. Continues..
If you are going to speak about something controversial or you have to break
bad news perhaps, set aside sometime before your presentation to chat with
those who will be affected.
This will help you to,
-build support
-anticipate problems
-consider strategies
In addition to an overall understanding the audience you need to find out
about the locale. Every location has its unique environment.
Know the physical setting; find out whether you have a podium or a table,
whether you’ll have a public address system and so on.
5. ORGANIZING CONTENTS
Introduction:
The introduction Comprises the porch or the opening statement, the aim and the layout.
A good introduction is a vehicle to lead the audience into the main body of the speech.
Main Body:
The main body follows the subsequent to the introduction and supports your aim and
specific purpose. Depending upon the topic or introduction, you can choose any one of the
following patterns to organise the main body of the speech.
Chronological
Categorical
Cause and effect
Problem – Solutions
Conclusion:
You can conclude your presentations by reviewing your main points.
Avoid the temptations to wrap up in haste.
You can also conclude with quotation.
Add somethimg new in this part pf the speech.
6. Preparing an Outline
An outline is a mechanical framework in which are fitted with bits and pieces of your presentation material.
It serves as a guide to show you the right path for your presentation. Your outline may be in the form of words
phrases and sentences:
1. Introduction
2. Product appearance
3. Various parts
4. Functioning
5. Facilities
6. Conclusions
Visual Aids:
Spoken words are ephemeral; as soon as they come out of our mouth they evaporate into the air.
Because of this limitation, speeches often need strong visual support- handouts, chalk boards, flip chart,
overheads, slides, computers, charts.
The importance of Visual Aids:
Increase audience interest.
Illustrate key points.
Increase impact of message.
Help listeners to retain information.
Help you present ideas without depending on notes.
Signal transition from one part of the presentation to the next.
7. Visual Aids Used In Presentation
SI TYPE TIPS
1. Overhead
Transparencies
• Use large fonts. Avoid decorative fonds.
• Separate the transparencies using sheets of paper.
• Keep transparencies uncluttered.
• Show only the required information.
• Do not add multiple colours.
• Use pointer or pencil on the screen.
• Be ready with your notes in case of power failures.
2. Power point
presentations
• Check the computer system/ equipment before loading.
• Familiarize yourself with the operation of slides.
• Transfer your files to the hard disk.
• Be familiar with the operation of slide show.
• Rehearse your presentation.
• Keep a printed copy of your slides ( 6 slides per paper).
3. Blackboard/
Whiteboard
• Clean the board well before starting and check the condition of markers.
• Write in large letters.
• Stand to the side as you write.
• Don’t face the board while talking to the audience.
• Divide the board into columns and write legibly.
• Keep contents which you may want to refer to again.
4. Flip charts • Use different Colour markers.
• Keep two pads of paper.
• Write in large letters.
• Use only one side of the chart.
• Wait for the audience to grasp the contents before turning pages.
8. Personal Appearance
Personal Appearance play an important role . One’s Appearance may put the audience into a resistant or
hostile attitude or induce in them a receptive mood. Appearances communicate how we feel about ourselves and how we
want to be viewed. You should expect appearance to be a part of the message you communicate.
Posture
Posture generally refers to the way we hold ourselves when we stand, sit, or walk .you need to analyze the effects
of body shape and posture to understand their role in non-verbal communication. The way you sit, stand or walk reveals a
lot about you:
Slumped posture – low spirits
Erect posture – high spirits, energy and confidence
Lean forward – open, honest, and interested
Lean backward – defensive or disinterested
crossed arms – defensive and not ready to listen
Uncrossed arms – willingness to listen
Gesture
Gesture is the movement made by hands, arms ,shoulders, head and torso . Gestures clarify your ideas or reinforce
them and should be well suited to the audience and occasion. . Gestures should not divert the attention of the listener
and distract from your message . Gestures can roughly be divided into the following types
• Enumerative - Numbers
• Descriptive - Size of the objects
• Symbolic - Abstract concepts
• Locative - Location of an object
• Emphatic – Emphasis
9. Facial Expression
Along with posture and gesture ,facial expressions also play an important part . The face is the
most expressive part of your body . Facial expressions are subtle. Facial expression is difficult to interpret .
Though there are only 5 basic expressions. People tend to hide their feelings and reveal only those
expressions. The 5 basic expressions are:
Inhibited – Restricted and stolid
Uninhibited – Spontaneous and impetuous
Substitute – Happy with a long face
Frozen – No change in expression
Blank – No expression at all
Eye Contact
Eye contact is a direct and powerful form of non-verbal communication. Eye contact is especially
important when you start the presentation , and at the beginning of each new section. Your eyes are a rich
source of feedback. You use your eyes to cull information. Your eye contact shows your intensity and elicits a
feeling of trust. Eye contact help you tremendously in the filtering process or in getting the desired response
or feedback.
PROXEMICS
Proxemics is the study of physical space in interpersonal relations. Space is related to behaviour
norms. The way people use space tells you a lot about them. Moving closer to an audience is useful to invite
discussion, to express agreement or to emphasize a point. However, do not retreat from this close position
when you make an important point or conclude your presentation.
10. Quality
Quality is a characteristic that distinguishes one voice from
another.
Each one of us has a unique voice and its quality depends upon
its resonating mechanism.
Volume
Volume is the loudness or the softness of the voice. Your
voice should always project but need not always be loud.
One way to improve your voice and speaking style is through
reading aloud.
Pace/Rate
Rate is the number of words which you speak per minute.
It various from person to person and from 80nto 250 words per
minute.
The normal rate is from 120 to 150 words.
11. UNDERSTANDING NUANCES OF DELIVERY
We have sat through presentations that were delivered so haltingly that we
could not care what was being said . We should also have come across presentations
which were delivered smoothly but which had practically put us to sleep, as the
presenter droned on endlessly. There are 4 modes of delivery which can be used for
making presentations.
Extemporaneous
Manuscript
Impromptu
Memorization
Extemporaneous
Extemporaneous presentation is by far the most popular and effective
method when carefully prepared. When speaking extempore you must prepare the
notes beforehand and rehearse your presentation . There is no need to learn every
word and line by rote.
Advantages
The supporting material helps to present your points clearly and also adds weight
to your agreement Appropriate selection of quotations, illustrations, statistics, etc
It enables one to move freely with case
Thorough preparation on your part makes you feel secure
Your delivery sounds natural and spontaneous to the audience as it allows you to
establish a rapport with the audience through more eye contact.
12. Disadvantages
If preparation is inadequate, you can get lost and find yourself uncomfortable.
Manuscript
In manuscript presentation ,material is written out and you are supposed to
read it out aloud verbatim. For effective use of this mode, you should have gone
through the material several times beforehand till you become absolutely familiar with
the text. You should strive to choose material designed to achieve understanding.
Advantages
It’s a permanent and accurate record of whatever you have to say.
There is no chance of tampering with the facts and figures.
Language gets polished because you can write and rewrite your material until you
feel satisfied on all counts.
Disadvantages
since you will be reading from the manuscript , you get less time for making proper
eye contact, which is essential to feed the pulse of yours audience.
Since you are reading to the audience, you cannot talk to the them.There is not
much scope either for non-verbal communication.
Adaptation is rather difficult, if the need arises ,to give a difference twist to your
material.
In the absence of effective reading skill , you fumble over words ,loss your pace ,and
miss punctuation marks , etc.This adds up to an uninteresting speech and loss of
audience attention.
13. Memorization
This method of presentation is very difficult for most of us. Probably only a handful of you
can actually, memorize an entire speech. Usually you memorize only the main part and are in the habit
of writing key words on your cards to help you out through the actual presentations.
Advantages
It’s very easy for such speakers to maintain an eye contact with the audience throughout the
presentation.
The speakers can easily move and make use of appropriate non-verbal communication the
presentation
It is possible to finish the speech in allotted time.
Disadvantages
NO flexibility or adaptation is possible during the speech
Memorization requires too much of time.
The speakers gets flustered if he forgets a word, sentence, or a whole paragraph.
KINESICS
Kinesics is the name given to the study of the body’s physical movements. In other words, it
is the way the body communicates without words. i.e., through various movements of its parts. But in
face-to-face communication the message is conveyed on two levels simultaneously. The non-verbal part
of an oral presentation is not as deliberate and conscious as verbal communication. Rather,it is subtle
and instinctive. Non-verbal communication refers to all communication that occurs without the use of
words either spoken or written.
14. Pitch
Pitch refers to the number of vibrations per second of your voice.
The rise and fall of your voice conveys various emotions. ‘Thank you’ is such a
phrase.
If you are excited, joyous, ecstatic, triumphant, and even angry, then your pitch
automatically becomes high.
Pitch is also influenced by your air supply: if you run out of air, you cannot control
the pitch of your voice
Articulation
Speakers should be careful not to slop, slur, chop, truncate, or omit sounds
between words or sentences.
Lazy articulation, slurred sounds, or skipping over words will lower the credibility
of the speaker.
Develop in yourself the ability to speak dictinctly.
15. Pronunciation
If articulation means speaking out all the sound distinctly, then pronunciation
requires us to speak out sounds in way that is generally accepted.
Some of the pronunciations are given below :
Pauses
A pause is a short silence flaked by words. It helps you glide from one thought to
another.
It embellishes your speech because it is a natural process to give a break.
If you become too self-conscious, this becomes artificial
Word Common Error Correct Pronunciation
arctic ar-tic arc-tic
gesture ges-ture jes-ture
3 tier 3-tyre 3-tear
gigantic jai-jan-tik jai-gan-tik
16. CHRONEMICS
Chronemics is a study of how human beings through their use of time.
In professional world time is a valuable commodity. Through time you
can communicate both subtly and explicitly.
Time language also varies from culture to culture.
As a speaker, your awareness of schedule is a chronemic element
To recapitulate, oral presentation is an art that requires careful
planning.
Your aim should be to keep all these threads intact, neither too loose
nor too tight.
With care and practice, yoy achieve wonders with your oral
presentation
