PRESENTATION SKILL DEVELOPMENT
Mustafizur rRhman:
Correcting things that go wrong
When things go wrong, smile, pause, breathe and sound confident. Adapt your presentation. Never appear to panic. Instead focus on your message and what you want them to do.

Tame the Hecklers
How do you handle hecklers? Prepare yourself for the worst questions. Write down all the possible objections and your answer to each. Rehearse the answers when you rehearse your speech. Answering questions well is a crucial part of your presentation skills. No matter what happens – remain calm. The worst thing for you to do is to react. Instead, respond and guide the audience back to your message. Don’t alienate your audience by appearing angry or out of control. If a heckler makes a negative comment you can respond with, “Thank you for your opinion” and move on. Don’t let yourself get dragged into a dirty argument. Don’t give the heckler credibility.
Mustafizur rRhman:
Finish Your Presentation Strong
End your presentation with a strong message. You can choose from several techniques. A call to action is one of the best endings to get your audience into action immediately after your speech. Other endings you can use include a positive statement; or a famous quotation. End on a positive action-generating note.

Final Words of Encouragement for you
Public Speaking is a set of skills. It is not about talent. It is a set of techniques practiced, rehearsed and delivered. You will never deliver the perfect speech. But you might deliver a powerful and effective speech. I know many wonderful presenters – but I do not know one who has ever delivered a perfect presentation. The skill of public speaking is both an art and a science. The more you learn and practice the science the easier the art will work for you. You can be a powerful and skillful presenter. But it will take time, practice and energy. And those are the elements of greatness.
Mustafizur rRhman:
PRESENTATION SKILLS SUCCESS
You can speak with confidence, clarity and conviction when you polish your presentation skills. The power of public speaking is a key leadership skill. Your ability to communicate will take you farther than any other skill. Communicate well. Communicate effectively and communicate your message so that others listen, understand and act.
