2. If your audience doesn’t
understand what you are
saying, you are not
communicating.
3. The audience can’t hear you.
The audience can’t understand you.
Solution of the problem:
•Find the farthest object in the
room and project your voice to
that object.
•Focus on what you have to say –
not on the fact that you are
saying.
The audience can’t make out the words you’re saying.
Solution of the problem:
•Using conversational language is the best way to assure
common understanding among the members of your
audience.
•If you use a piece of jargon follow it with a comma and
phrase that explain.
•The first time you use an acronym, give its full name.
•Be very careful about the use of slang in your
presentation. Be sure everybody one will understand
what you mean.
Solution of the problem:
•Be sure to pronounce words correctly. If you are not sure about
a pronunciation, look the word up in the dictionary.
•Concentrate on clear, crisp articulation throughout your
presentation.
4. The Emotional level of
communication
Once your audience has heard and understood
what you have said, they must react to it.
This reaction is usually emotional.
5. Remember: An audience owes you nothing!
YOU MUST BE the most
interesting thing in the room.
YOU MUST demonstrate genuine
interest in your subject.
