You've been asked to give an important presentation. A lot is riding on how well you can deliver. The problem is, you're not sure where to begin. The last class you took on presentation skills told you to tie your hands behind your back and blend in with everyone else. Is that really a good approach?

The answer is a LOUD and RESONATING NO WAY.

If you want to WOW your audience, you have to STAND UP and STAND OUT!

Here are 5 Presentation Secrets designed to help you see an immediate and dramatic improvement in your presentation performance.

Secret #1 - Manage Your Anxiety So That It Doesn't Manage YOU!

Most of the nervous symptoms you experience before a presentation are exactly the same as those you feel when excited. To the body adrenaline is very simply- ENERGY. If we call it energy or excitement it is good, if we call it anxiety, it is bad. The first step toward successfully managing your anxiety is to remove the negative label and rename that feeling you have right before you step up to the podium, EXCITEMENT. Tell yourself that you are excited about the opportunity to speak in front of this group. "Excitement" is a much more manageable and positive emotion than "anxiety." Then use your excitement to energize you and help you communicate your enthusiasm to your audience.

The last class you took on presentation skills told you to tie your hands behind your back and blend in with everyone else. Is that really a good approach?</p>
<p>The answer is a LOUD and RESONATING NO WAY.<br />
<strong><br />
If you want to WOW your audience, you have to STAND UP and STAND OUT!</strong></p>
<p>Here are 5 Presentation Secrets designed to help you see an immediate and dramatic improvement in your presentation performance.</p>
<p><strong>Secret #1 &#8211; Manage Your Anxiety So That It Doesn&#8217;t Manage YOU!<br />
</strong><br />
Most of the nervous symptoms you experience before a presentation are exactly the same as those you feel when excited. <span id="more-358"></span>To the body adrenaline is very simply- ENERGY. If we call it energy or excitement it is good, if we call it anxiety, it is bad. The first step toward successfully managing your anxiety is to remove the negative label and rename that feeling you have right before you step up to the podium, EXCITEMENT. Tell yourself that you are excited about the opportunity to speak in front of this group. &#8220;Excitement&#8221; is a much more manageable and positive emotion than &#8220;anxiety.&#8221; Then use your excitement to energize you and help you communicate your enthusiasm to your audience.</p>
<p><strong>Secret #2 &#8211; When It Comes To Your Delivery Style, Be More Of Who You Really Are!</strong></p>
<p>Everyone has their own innate &#8220;style&#8221; of presenting. Your style is made up of many different aspects of your delivery, including your body, voice, face, the way you use language, level of formality, etc. The trick, within your style, is to be more of who you really are, which means knowing and then capitalizing on your greatest delivery strengths. Many presenters focus too much attention on their words. With words only accounting for 7% of your power as a presenter, spending too much energy on the words alone is a big mistake. Your nonverbal delivery style-also called your presentation personality&#8211; accounts for 97% of your power as a presenter. To improve your chances for success, focus on the real source of your power-your nonverbal communication such as eye contact, facial expressions, gestures, posture, movement, proximity, clothing, vocal variety, rate, loudness, and silent pauses.</p>
<p><strong>Secret #3 &#8211; Give the Audience All the Enthusiasm You Want Back!<br />
</strong><br />
You can&#8217;t expect an audience to be enthusiastic about a product or program you aren&#8217;t excited about. Presentation author Doug Staneart concluded, &#8220;Your audience will have just about as much excitement about your presentation as you do, and no more.&#8221; Enthusiasm is very catchy. Most audiences will match your level of enthusiasm pound for pound.</p>
<p>According to the Lamalle Report on Top Executives of the 1990s, one of the most important factors in determining financial success by those earning over $250,000 is being enthusiastic and having a positive attitude (46%). Apparently, along with being incredibly enthusiastic, successful people never underestimate the power of positive thinking.</p>
<p>Why does having a positive attitude matter so much? Research solidly indicates that expectations influence behavior meaning if you expect to succeed, it is likely that you will and if you expect to fail, you are more likely to be unsuccessful. Expectations create outcomes because we work toward the outcome we expect, even if it is failure. Henry Ford said, &#8220;Whether you think you can or think you can&#8217;t&#8211;you are right.&#8221;</p>
<p>Enthusiasm has amazing transformational powers. As you release your energy using positive nonverbal behaviors (gestures, movement, loud voice, etc.), you will begin to relax. And, your audience will quickly become excited. It works like magic! Watch how easily you can transfer your enthusiasm to your audience.</p>
<p><strong>Secret #4 &#8211; NEVER Apologize, Confess, Or Make Excuses!</strong></p>
<p>Presenters say the darndest things…&#8221;I&#8217;m sorry but I have a cold today so my voice may sound a little funny&#8221; (apology) OR &#8220;I just found out about this presentation yesterday, so I didn&#8217;t have as much time to prepare as I would have liked&#8221; (excuse) OR EVEN &#8220;I&#8217;m so nervous…&#8221; (confession). It is always surprising how often and how easily presenters use these NEGATIVE phrases.</p>
<p>Up until now, that is.</p>
<p>If you want to WOW your audience, you have to adopt and live by the motto: NO APOLOGIES, NO EXCUSES, NO CONFESSIONS.</p>
<p>When you APOLOGIZE, MAKE AN EXCUSE, or CONFESS at any time during your presentation, you are in essence saying to the audience, &#8220;Don&#8217;t expect a lot from me today because I&#8217;ll disappoint you.&#8221; Instead of APOLOGIZING&#8211;&#8221;I&#8217;m sorry I didn&#8217;t bring in a sample, but I couldn&#8217;t arrange it on such short notice,&#8221; try framing it in the positive, &#8220;I am working on getting you a sample and I can deliver it next week.&#8221; Instead of making EXCUSES, put your energy into delivering the best possible presentation and then stand behind your performance&#8211;&#8221;I did the best job I could given the circumstances.&#8221; And limit your CONFESSIONS&#8211;especially those the audience has no business knowing such as &#8220;I&#8217;m so nervous&#8221;&#8211;to church!</p>
<p><strong>Secret #5 &#8211; Get Your Audience Involved In Your Presentation!</strong></p>
<p>People are notoriously BAD listeners. In fact, the attention span of the average American is just nine seconds. That means every nine seconds each member of your audience takes a little mental vacation from the taxing work of listening to your presentation.</p>
<p>With so much fading in and out, it makes sense that the audience remembers only about 20% of what they hear. Stated conversely, the audience will FORGET nearly everything you say (80% of it anyway). Retention improves when you add a visual element to your presentation, but it still is rather dismal at 50% (don&#8217;t celebrate yet, they are still forgetting half of your presentation!). And that&#8217;s just immediate recall. I&#8217;m sorry to say that it gets worse as time elapses.</p>
<p>So how do you get the audience to remember MORE of your presentation for longer periods of time? To raise your audience&#8217;s remembering quotient, you have to engage them in your presentation, getting them to actively participate in it. Your goal is to transform the audience from passive listeners to active participants. The six best ways I&#8217;ve found to engage the audience in your presentation is to:</p>
<p>1. Ask the audience a question<br />
2. Take a poll<br />
3. Involve the audience in a demonstration<br />
4. Give the audience a test<br />
5. Give the audience a listening assignment<br />
6. Employ a gimmick</p>
<p>When an audience participates in a presentation, they are fully engaged in the presentation. This means that every part of them is involved in the presentation- their hearts, minds, and bodies. The voice inside their head that thinks of all kinds of extraneous, random thoughts, is for once, silent while they focus solely on your presentation. This concentrated focus enables them to remember so much more!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Tiger</p>
<p>By Remez Sasson</p>
<p>A teacher and his student were walking from one village to another, when they suddenly heard a roar behind them. Turning their gaze in the direction of the roar they saw a big tiger following them. The first thing the student wanted to do was to run away, but as he has been studying and practicing self-discipline, he was able to halt himself, waiting to see what his teacher was going to do.</p>
<p>&#8220;What shall we do Master?&#8221; Asked the student.</p>
<p>The teacher looked at the student and answered in a calm voice:<br />
&#8220;There are several options. We can fill our minds with paralyzing fear so that we cannot move, and let the tiger do with us whatever pleases it. We can faint. We can run away, but then it will run after us. We can fight with it, but physically it is stronger than us.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We can pray to god to save us. We can choose to influence the tiger with the power of our mind, if our concentration is strong enough. We can send it love. We can also concentrate and meditate on our inner power, and on the fact that we are one with the entire universe, including the tiger, and in this way influence its soul.&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-355"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;Which option do you choose?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You are the Master. You tell me what to do. We haven&#8217;t much time&#8221;, responded the student.</p>
<p>The master turned his gaze fearlessly towards the tiger, emptied his mind from all thoughts, and entered samadhi (a kind of trance). In his consciousness he embraced everything in the universe including the tiger. In this deep meditation the consciousness of the teacher became one with consciousness of the tiger.</p>
<p>Meanwhile the student started to shiver with fear, as the tiger was already quite close, ready to make a leap at them. He was amazed at how his teacher could stay so calm and detached in the face of danger.</p>
<p>Meanwhile the teacher continued to meditate without fear. After a little while, the tiger gradually lowered its head and tail and went away.</p>
<p>The student asked his teacher in astonishment, &#8220;What did you do?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Nothing. I just cleared all thoughts from my mind and united myself in spirit with the tiger. We became united in peace on the spiritual level. The tiger sensed the inner calmness, peace, and unity and felt no threat or need to express violence, and so walked away.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;When the mind is silent and calm, its peace is automatically transmitted to everything and everyone around, influencing them deeply&#8221;, concluded the teacher.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left">In persuit to develop my <strong>presentation skills</strong> I have decided to give my brain good two weeks to learn this trick of the trade. So I shall be searching the net for quality information on presentation skills to compile this pack for anyone willing to become a good presentet plus I shall be incorporating my learning from a recent course at <a href="http://www.learningtree.co.uk" target="_blank">Learning Tree International.</a></p>
<p>Well here is something very interesting I found on <a href="http://www.presentation-pointers.com" target="_blank">http://www.presentation-pointers.com</a> and I think its worth looking at.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong><span class="standardtext"><span class="articletext">The            &#8220;3-1-2&#8243; method</span></span></strong></span></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p align="left">It is a refinement of the &#8220;Tell&#8217;em&#8221; method. All presentations            should have three parts&#8211;a beginning, a middle, and an end. Most people            start drafting their presentation by writing in the order in which they            will deliver the presentation&#8211;(1) the introduction, (2) the body, and            (3) the conclusion. This &#8220;1-2-3&#8243; method is intimidating, like standing            at the bottom of a steep hill and envisioning the long climb to the            top. Just thinking about the task can cause procrastination. When finally            initiated, the &#8220;1-2-3&#8243; system can lead to false starts because it lacks            focus.</p>
<p align="left">The            &#8220;3-1-2&#8243; method, in contrast, is less intimidating and results in a focused            presentation with thematic unity, so necessary in an oral presentation.            Start your draft with the &#8220;bottom line&#8221; conclusion (#3), then develop            an opening (#1) that grabs the attention of the audience, spells out            the benefits they will achieve by listening to you, and tells them what            you are going to address. By starting with your conclusion, you now            have a destination&#8211;you know where you are heading with your presentation.            With the beginning and ending on paper, your task of enumerating supporting            data and arguments (#2) will be much easier. It will be like standing            on top of the hill and contemplating your descent to the bottom&#8211;not            as intimidating as the &#8220;1-2-3&#8243; method from the bottom of the hill.</p>
<p align="left">Here            is where a lawyer&#8217;s education and experience can be very beneficial            in the boardroom. The &#8220;3-1-2&#8243; system derives from a concept with which            lawyers are very familiar&#8211;the &#8220;Doctrine of Recency and Primacy.&#8221; As            trail lawyers know so well, juries&#8211;and probably senior corporate officers&#8211;tend            to pay more attention to what they hear at the beginning and the end            of presentations, with much less comprehension during the middle. Thus            the importance attached by lawyers to their opening statement&#8211;their            version of &#8221; Tell&#8217;em what your are going to tell&#8217;em&#8221; and their final            summation to the jury&#8211;the &#8220;Tell&#8217;em what you told&#8217;em/ Placing the focal            point of the presentation at the end and the beginning of the presentation            increases the likelihood the audience will listen, retain, and act upon            this message which is supported by the elaboration of the supporting            evidence in &#8220;2.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong><span class="standardtext"><span class="articletext">Prepare your draft </span></span></strong></span></p>
<p align="left">Some            people are more comfortable drafting the text of their presentation            in full. This allows for a more complete exposition of the data. But            it also means that you may use language and syntax more appropriate            for the written rather than the spoken presentation, which can be confusing            to the ears of the audience. A &#8220;main point&#8221; outline is an alternative            that will allow you to move more directly to &#8220;spoken,&#8221; more conversational,            language.</p>
<p align="left">As            you prepare your draft, use the active voice and concrete, not abstract,            language. Use declarative, but not compound, sentences. Give specific            examples, and do not be afraid to tug at the heart strings of your audience.            Your message, and the words that convey it, must be grasped by these            listeners when you say them. They cannot do an &#8220;instant replay.&#8221; Know            the audience members needs and concerns, and frame your &#8220;case&#8221; in such            a way that your presentation solves these needs/concerns. Make it easier            for audience members to remember what you want them to remember with            stories and anecdotes that emphasize your main points. These illustrations            can be the glue that makes the main points &#8220;stick&#8221; in the minds of your            listeners.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong></strong></span></p>
<p align="left"><strong>Confidence building &#8211; the real thing</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<h4><span class="standardtext"><span class="articletext"> </span></span></h4>
<p align="left">After            completing the draft&#8211;verbatim or outline&#8211;reduce your presentation            to 3&#215;5 cards with large-lettered &#8220;memory joggers&#8221;. Then practice by            yourself in front of a mirror, with tape recorder, or better yet with            a video camera. Listen for your pace, your inflection, your enthusiasm,            and if you are using &#8220;uh,&#8221; &#8220;er,&#8221; &#8220;you know,&#8221; or other fillers that render            the otherwise intelligent person appear illiterate. See how much better            you would sound if you replaced these sounds with pauses. If videotaping,            watch your body language, facial expression, and gestures.</p>
<p align="left">See            where visuals can be inserted. These visuals should be thought of as            exclamation points or highlighted sections of your presentation. Make            them simple and interesting&#8211;be careful of organization charts and &#8220;laundry            lists.&#8221; Use large lettering (better to have large letters written with            a magic marker than small letters from a computer.) Use only the top            two-thirds of the transparencies (so people in the rear can read without            being required to stand) and use telegraphic language, limiting letters            to minimum necessary. Use color if you can.</p>
<p align="left">For            overhead transparencies, use the &#8220;revelation technique&#8221; when you have            a &#8220;bullet outline.&#8221; Tape strips of cardboard along the side of the vu-graph,            keeping points on the visual covered until you discuss them. This will            keep your audience focused on the point you are emphasizing, rather            than reading point four while you are still talking about point one.            Check the alignment of your vu-graph on the projector so that it appears            straight on the screen. This may require you to place an &#8220;L-shaped&#8221;            tape guide on the glass. Then orient your overheads in relation to this            newly-created frame, and you will not have to check that the visual            is &#8220;squared away&#8221; on the screen. Some audience members could be annoyed            and distracted by visuals that appear crooked on the screen. The above            advice can, of course, also be applied when using a computer-driven            presentations program such as PowerPoint.</p>

Were your palms wet? Did your knees tremble? Did your stomach start doing somersaults?</p>
<p>Is this how the prospect of making an important presentation affects you? Well, join the club because, for most people, their biggest fear is public speaking or presenting.</p>
<p>If you are shortly going to make an all important presentation and are gripped by FEAR at the very thought of it, reach out and grasp these 7 lifelines to help you overcome your terror and make it a huge success.</p>
<p><strong>Lifeline no. 1</strong><br />
Know your audience! Who are they, why are they listening to you, what do they already know, what do they want from you?</p>
<p>Finding out about your audience means that you can tailor your message to their needs and in a way that appeals to them.</p>
<p><strong>Lifeline no. 2</strong><br />
What is the purpose of your presentation? What outcome do you want? Is it to sell, persuade, influence, inform, educate or inspire?</p>
<p>Create clarity about the reason for the presentation and work back from that. Once you know exactly what result you want you can begin to structure the content so that your goal is achieved.</p>
<p><strong>Lifeline no. 3</strong><br />
Write your script. Just write down anything and everything that is important and relevant to the message you want to get across. Empty your mind on paper.</p>
<p>Now edit your script, highlight key words and phrases, select the right order for the points you want to make. Remember that you have written your script but you will deliver it verbally. Re-write your message so that it comes across well when spoken.</p>
<p><strong>Lifeline no. 4</strong><br />
Create a good structure with a beginning, middle and end that flow logically and easily. Open with impact, grab their attention and build rapport. Ask a thought provoking question, make a bold statement, stir their interest.</p>
<p>Signpost each point towards the next so that you take your audience on a journey. Support each main point with sub points that are easy to follow.</p>
<p>At the end, summarise your key message, wind it down naturally, end on a note of importance that the audience will remember and thank them for their attention.</p>
<p><strong>Lifeline no. 5</strong><br />
Perfect your delivery. Use tone of voice to maintain interest, and bring life into your message. Use short <a id="KonaLink1" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/presentation-articles/making-a-presentation-the-biggest-human-fear-and-how-to-overcome-it-161860.html#" target="_new"><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 13.3333px; position: static; color: #009900;"><span class="kLink" style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 13.3333px; position: static; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; color: #009900;">silences</span></span></a> to add intrigue and arouse curiosity. Avoid monotone and use your voice harmoniously.</p>
<p>Build rapport and maintain eye contact with your audience, working slowly and subtly around the room, looking at small groups of 3 or 4 people at a time. Be careful of your body language and gestures, avoid fidgeting and pacing. It’s okay to move but don’t become a pacing tiger or a windmill!</p>
<p><strong>Lifeline no. 6</strong><br />
Being nervous before a presentation is perfectly normal. Nerves help you to perform well and get adrenaline running around your body. Overcome excessive nervousness by taking deep breaths.</p>
<p>Stand tall and be proud of who you are and what you are about to do. Create a vision of making the perfect presentation and turn your fear into stimulation.</p>
<p><strong>Lifeline no. 7</strong><br />
Remember the 5 Ps &#8211; Proper Preparation Prevents Poor <a id="KonaLink2" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/presentation-articles/making-a-presentation-the-biggest-human-fear-and-how-to-overcome-it-161860.html#" target="_new"><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 13.3333px; position: static; color: #009900;"><span class="kLink" style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 13.3333px; position: static; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; color: #009900;">Performance</span></span></a>! Prepare well and practice, Deliver your presentation over and over again to your family, your friends, to yourself (in the mirror). Time it, perfect it, tweak it, know it well and feel confident about your ability to deliver it.</p>
<p>Now visualise yourself making the perfect presentation, with an engaged audience who hang onto your every word.</p>
<p>Picture yourself in the situation, calm, capable, convincing and presenting like you were born to do it!</p>
<p>Play this scene again and again in your mind and notice how your fear subsides and your confidence soars.<br />
Go out there and make a wonderful presentation!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Author:</strong> <a title="Terry Gault" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/terry-gault/56038.htm">Terry Gault</a></p>
<p>Take the first step in preparing your <span style="position: static; text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 13.3333px; position: static; color: #009900;"><span class="kLink" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #009900; font-weight: 400; font-size: 13.3333px; position: static; padding-bottom: 1px; background-color: transparent; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; color: #009900;">presentation</span></span></span>. Force yourself onto the chair and get ready. Preparation may not be the most exciting aspect of your project, but it can be the single most important ingredient in your presentation. You may be able to charm anyone on the spot or possess the charisma of the most dynamic person in the world, but without preparation for a speech or <span style="position: static; text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 13.3333px; position: static; color: #009900;"><span class="kLink" style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 13.3333px; position: static; font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; color: #009900;">meeting</span></span></span>, you can still stumble and fall. How to prepare then?</p>
<p><strong>First, imagine your audience.</strong> Who they are. What their expectations are. How you will connect with them. What you want to tell them. What you hope to accomplish. The specifics: Where you will be when you give your presentation &#8212; the facilities, the lighting. You need to know specifically what type of presentation you&#8217;re going to give. Are you motivating an audience? Giving valuable and/or timely information? Trying to sell something? How are you going to do it? What are you going to say?</p>
<p><strong>Ideas, ideas, ideas.</strong> You have so many. Random or specific, write all these ideas down. Even if they don&#8217;t seem to relate to each other. Take three minutes and scribble ideas for your presentation on a sheet of paper. Don&#8217;t over-think this process. Ideas that may sound ridiculous at first can spur other more sensible and/or practical ideas; they can create unusual associations that lead to unique insights. Don&#8217;t stop writing. Don&#8217;t edit or go back and cross out any words. Let your thoughts flow like a river. As in visual art, make thumbnail sketches but with words rather than pictures.</p>
<p><strong>All right. Now what?</strong> Take another three minutes to review what you&#8217;ve written. With pen or pencil or felt markers, make circles and arrows to connect logical relationships between the ideas. Which ones relate to each other. Identify ideas that might surprise you and turn out to be sub-points of other ideas. Rearrange ideas that fall logically before others. Pinpoint your main ideas.</p>
<p><strong>Construct a linear sequence of your ideas.</strong> Create an opening, a body and a conclusion. A natural balance of three, the main parts of your presentation, so that it will flow easily yet effectively. Make an outline of how all the ideas work together.</p>
<p><strong>Once you have your presentation organized and written down, how will you open? </strong>First, you&#8217;ll need an icebreaker to warm up your audience. Choose one, depending on your style. Tell a joke or a story. Ask a question. Try an unusual move; body language speaks volumes. Change your tone of voice. Give the audience a startling fact, theory or controversial statement. Use props or audience participation. Or choose a unique way of your own to open your presentation. The main thing is to create a way to get the audience&#8217;s attention, then introduce your objective &#8212; the purpose or goal of your presentation.</p>
<p><strong>Then, the next trick is to keep the audience&#8217;s attention</strong> with the body of your presentation. Add rhetorical technique. The various ways to make and support each of your points. To do this, plan to use examples, analogies or questions. Weave a personal story throughout your presentation. Use metaphors, ones which clearly illustrate your points. If it works for your particular presentation, plan a demonstration or a physical example to drive your ideas forward. To round out your presentation, create a fabulous conclusion.</p>
<p><strong>There are more than just words to a presentation.</strong> You need to craft the gestures you will use. You don&#8217;t want to stand like a stick on the stage. Use gestures to activate your body&#8217;s kinesthetic awareness, how it feels to move expansively while presenting. Trying out new gestures might be uncomfortable for you, but they will increase the awareness of what your body is doing while your mind is processing the content. Create three gestures and include them in your presentation. In the beginning, forcing yourself to try some new gestures will help you see what works. After you expand your range of gestures, they will become more natural and original. Try these gestures with parts of your text while observing yourself in a mirror. Make sure your elbows extend well out from your torso.</p>
<p><strong>Practice and time your presentation.</strong> If your notes are too extensive, it won&#8217;t be easy or convenient to read them while presenting. If you need notes, use word fragments (one to four words) limited to your most important points (A half dozen for most presentations.). Write these word fragments on index cards.</p>
<p><strong>Finally, practice, practice, practice.</strong> Use your mirror, your friends, your dog. Record yourself, audio and visual. Study it. Time it. Cut it, edit it, smooth it out so that when you give your presentation, you will know it so well you won&#8217;t need those dog-eared index cards after all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The main objective of any <a id="KonaLink0" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/presentation-articles/5-essential-steps-before-making-a-presentation-115346.html#" target="_new">presentation</a> is to communicate effectively and efficiently the information, the ideas or plans with the audience. Speaking before an audience and making an effective presentation is an art, which has to be learnt with serious effort.</p>
<p>While working in an organization or in business, there may be many occasions for public speaking, where you have to make a presentation such as launching of a new product or service, presenting new business plans or making a <a id="KonaLink1" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/presentation-articles/5-essential-steps-before-making-a-presentation-115346.html#" target="_new">marketing</a> or sales proposal. Whatever be the purpose of your presentation, it always requires careful preparation to make it a successful presentation.</p>
<h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> Following 5 steps can help you to make your presentation an effective presentation.</span></h4>
<p><strong> Be clear about the occasion and the subject: </strong><br />
Speaker should be aware of the purpose he wants to fulfill through his presentation. Whether it is a seminar or launching of a new product or conference or annual <a id="KonaLink2" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/presentation-articles/5-essential-steps-before-making-a-presentation-115346.html#" target="_new">meeting</a>. Whether there is sufficient time for presentation and discussion thereafter. You can put your best foot forward for presentation for inaugural occasion or launching of a new service. However, if organization is facing financial problems then presentation should focus on vital statistics and inferences from data available and positive suggestion.</p>
<p><strong> Make audience analysis and know your audience: </strong><br />
Whatever be the topic of your presentation, you should understand your audience for whom it is meant. Their age, sex, experience, education background have great relevance to the presentation and it can influence the choice of words, tone, need for explanation in depth and details etc. Analysis of audience should be continued even during the presentation. Their body language and reaction on their faces can give you immediate feedback about your presentation.</p>
<p><strong> Get the idea about the location or visit the location: </strong><br />
You should visit the location before making your presentation to get an idea about the size of the room, seating arrangement, lighting controls and audiovisual equipments.</p>
<p><strong> Plan your presentation: </strong><br />
Plan out your presentation in writing with outline showing what you will say in the beginning, the middle and at the end. Also decide upon the method you will use for your presentation such as reading or extemporaneous. Visual aids with illustration and graphs can be used to make your presentation more interesting and interactive.</p>
<p><strong> Rehearse your presentation: </strong><br />
Rehearsal is very important to gain the confidence before your presentation. Rehearse as a part of team to get the suggestions for improvement.</p>
<p>For writing the topic or content of your presentation or visual aid, business writing software can be used to make it more effective. Text enrichment feature of business writing software can enrich your text with adjectives &amp; adverbs, which enhances the simple sentence into more professional and sophisticated sentence and also suggest context related synonym for repeated words. It also helps for proofreading and to check and correct grammar errors and spellings in your visual aid.<br />
