PRESENTATION SKILL DEVELOPMENT
Mustafizur rRhman:
Last minute details before you begin speaking
Get into the room before your audience arrives to check the setup and get the feel of the room. This helps to make it your room. Walk around the room and sit in a few different chairs to take in the feel of your room and how your audience will see you. Drink one or two glasses of warm water to both lubricate your vocal cords and hydrate yourself.
Mustafizur rRhman:
Eye Contact
Talk directly to people. The best presentation is delivered as a conversation to every person in your audience one person at a time. If you want to be believed – talk to every individual – looking him or her in the eye. Don’t make the big mistake committed by many novice public speakers - staring at the spot on the back wall. This one technique is a powerful element of successful presentation skills.
Mustafizur rRhman:
Emphasizing key points
If you want people to remember something – repeat it at least three times during your speech. The first time they might hear it. The second time they might think over it. The third time it might stick. “I have a dream”. Do you know how many times Martin Luthur King repeated that phrase in his famous speech?
Mustafizur rRhman:
Establishing rapport
Don’t pretend to be something you are not. But show how you are like them. Be human. Expose a flaw. Show that you are not perfect. If you pretend to be perfect they will hate you – and not listen.
Mustafizur rRhman:
Stay on time
Start your presentation on time and finish on time.
