Being a great and dynamic presenter is a much-needed skill in any workplace. It may seem as if some people are born with the knack to captivate and move audiences to act while others may struggle to get a simple point across. The good news is, that becoming a master presenter and ultimately a master communicator can be achieved with effort and practice.
When you give a presentation, of any kind, be sure to find ways to accentuate your spoken words with hand gestures and eye contact. You can practice this before any talk by spending 5 minutes a few times a week talking in front of a mirror. As you speak, look at your body position, how your hands move, how your gestures are synced to your words, and even examine your facial expressions and tone.
The human brain is better able to comprehend and remember a message if it has a pictorial component associated with it. This could be an elaborate picture painted with words in the form of imagery or an analogy given by a speaker. Researchers have found that an audience’s memory recall capacity increases up to 65% when a picture is used during a presentation. As you prepare for your next talk, locate meaningful graphics to accompany your message.
The most memorable talks offer something fresh, something no one has seen before. But make the talk your own. You know what’s distinctive about you and your idea. Play to your strengths and give a talk that is truly authentic to you.
Presentations rise or fall on the quality of the idea, the narrative, and the passion of the speaker. It’s about substance, not speaking style or multimedia pyrotechnics.
