Presentation skills
1) Effective presentations require both good ideas and the ability to clearly express those ideas to others, whether in small groups or larger presentations. 2) Many people feel nervous about public speaking but can improve their skills. It is important to understand your audience and prepare your content and delivery accordingly. 3) Proper preparation is key and involves understanding your message, audience, and purpose as well as structuring your presentation, anticipating questions, and practicing your delivery. Maintaining eye contact, using body language and visual aids appropriately, and handling questions confidently are important skills.

- #3 While hard work and good ideas are essential to success, your ability to express those ideas and get others to join you is just as important. (I apologize if you can’t see this in the back of the room, but it’s in your handout). Much of this verbal expression will be one on one or in small groups, but periodically you will be involved in more formal and public speaking in front of larger numbers. If this thought makes you nervous, you are not alone. Many speakers lack the skills and confidence to make effetcive (oops, I guess that’s a typo) presentations. We have all been victims of speakers who put us to sleep. Despite knowing how ineffective many speakers are, many of us have found that, despite the best intentions, we haven’t fared much better. We knew the topic and the ideas were written down, but the presentation still didn’t go well. Was it the way you delivered the presentation? Was it because the audience didn’t seem interested?
