The majority of people who contact me – tell me that they are very anxious, nervous and as a result, opt out of delivering Presentations in their workplace. What a pity that is !
I tell them this is normal. There are a number of ways to reduce this fear. One important method of reducing this fear is to have a Great Structure.
The Structure
INTRODUCTION
- GRAB the audience attention
- Identify the Benefits for the audience and advise them what Benefits they will get from your Presentation
- PREVIEW – Tell them EXACTLY what you are going to talk about
BODY
- Identify 3 or 4 or 5 Main Points you wish to talk about.
- When you finish with Point 1 – move to Point 2, then to Point 3 etc.
CONCLUSION
- Summarise briefly what you spoke about
- Identify the Benefits (again)
- GRAB the audience attention
