The 5Ps of Presenting

By Lindsay Taylor / November 25, 2017

Follow the 5Ps model to gain confidence in creating and giving presentations explains Lindsay Taylor

The good, the bad & the ugly.

Let’s start with identifying those presentations that have made an impression on you. Which ones are the most memorable? And what are they memorable for? Do you have a favourite presenter? What are your reasons for picking them?

Identifying the “dos” and “don’ts”, “the good, the bad and the ugly” of presentations will help you set a benchmark for identifying the most successful and memorable (for the right reasons!) presentations.

Then you can put into practice the “5Ps of Presenting”.

Identify the Purpose of your presentation. You are, in effect, setting yourself a goal and outcome. To inspire and motivate yourself and others, you need to make sure you are using “towards” language, rather than “away from” language when setting goals. Here’s a simple table to illustrate the difference.

“Towards” language promotes forward movement and momentum in order to achieve what you need and want. It is considered more motivational and inspirational due to its “can do” approach, energy and resulting inspiration.

Firstly, remember that famous quote “Failing to plan is planning to fail”!

Use the “Open Questions Model” below to answer as many questions as you can to aid your planning – How, What, When, Where, Who and Why.

You will notice that “why” questions have a warning triangle on them. The reason is that when we are posed with a “why” question we may receive it as an accusation. Our resulting response can be defensive. “Why” questions never really get to the “crux” or “heart” of the response we are seeking. A better way of asking a “why” question is to ask “what’s important (about….)?”. This is our optimum question.

Here are some example questions – by no means an exhaustive list and I’m sure you can think of more:

How many people will I be presenting to? How will the room be set up? How much time is allocated to my presentation? How many other people are presenting before/after me? How will I gain/seek feedback on my presentation? How do I want to feel at the end of my presentation? How do I want my audience to feel at the end of my presentation? How do I “need to be” to present? (identify the internal resources you need – for example focus, determination, self-confidence……)

What is the purpose of my presentation? What information do I need or want to share with my audience? What do my audience already know? What do my audience expect to learn or take away from this presentation? What are the benefits to my audience of listening to this presentation? What do I already know about my audience? (are there are any special needs/considerations…..) What would be good to find out about my audience? (job titles, challenges, their expectations, any special needs……) What do I want or need my audience to do with the information I share with them? What time do I need/want to arrive at the venue before I present? What format will my presentation take? (interactive, use of AV equipment, handouts….) What resources do I need? (include “Internal Resources” which are things like determination, focus, self-confidence….) What else do I need to know to ensure my presentation is a success?

When am I presenting (date, time)….? When do I need to pull together a draft/final presentation?

Where am I presenting (geography, in the world!, venue)? Where am I presenting (on stage, at boardroom table……)

Who is “on stage” before/after me? Who do I know that could help me with my presentation? Who has presented on a similar topic to me? Who do I need to submit my presentation to?

What’s Important (about)……

What’s important about this presentation?

3. Prepare

Split your presentation into a Beginning, Middle and End. Some people find it useful to write up a full “verbiage” or script for their presentation. Others like to write out “cue cards” with select words on. Cue cards are particularly useful to have with you when you present as they will keep you on track. Think about whether you’re going to be holding the cue cards when you present or whether there’s a table/lectern to place the cards on and which you can head to if you need prompting. Remember, you want your cue cards to be a help rather than a hindrance. Use a system that works for you.

The Beginning

90% of first impressions are made in the first 90 seconds of meeting someone. Based on these statistics, you need to engage your audience right from the word “go”. You can do this in different ways. You may ask a question of your audience and ask for a show of hands or you may use humour to introduce your topic.

Then share with your audience who you are and your credibility (imagine your audience are asking “Why should I listen to this person? Who are they and what do they know?”).

Share with your audience the purpose of your presentation (which you have absolute clarity on from the first 2 Ps of course!). What is your audience going to learn from your presentation and what benefit will they gain? You are more likely to gain and maintain their engagement if they know what they’re going to get out of listening to you.

You can also tell your audience the format that your presentation will take. If you’ve included time in your presentation at the end for Q&A let your audience know that you’re happy to answer any relevant questions at that point.

Use “ The Power of Three ”. This principle implies that things that come in threes are more satisfying, effective and memorable. It’s fun, thought-provoking and, more importantly, when applied can add real impact to your communication. Use “signposting” to keep you (and your audience) on track – “firstly…..secondly….thirdly or finally……”.

You can end your presentation with humour (linking it to your humorous comment at the beginning). You could ask for another show of hands.

Ask if your audience has any questions. Share your contact details and thank everyone for listening/interacting/involving themselves in the learning.

You’re ready to Present!

Align Words, Tone and Body Language

Based on the research of Harvard Professor Albert Mehrabian, face-to-face communication when sharing your thoughts and feelings can be broken down into the words that we speak (7%), the tone that we use (38%), and the body language that we use (55%).

You need to be aware of the tone and body language you use in your face to face communication and when you are presenting.

When words, tone and body language are aligned or “congruent”, when you “speak the meaning, not just the words”, you are ensuring your message has more impact thus contributing to the engagement of your audience.

Use Sensory Language

We all process information in different ways and record it for future use. Your world is processed through your senses (sight, sound, touch, taste and smell) and generally everybody has a primary sense that they use to establish an experience within their conscious or sub-conscious mind. Usually that primary system is either visual (sight), auditory (sound) or kinaesthetic (touch or feelings). Of course, you will access all five senses, but your behaviours, language, and creation and memory of experiences will be prevalent either in a (V)isual, (A)uditory or (K)inaesthetic way (VAK system).

Of course, when you are presenting to a group of people, there will be a mix of Visual, Auditory and Kinaesthetic preferences. Therefore, use a mix of sensory language and presentation styles that will optimise engagement with your audience. Your Visual audience members will notice your presentation slides or any handouts or visual aids. Your Auditory audience members will be listening intently to you. Your Kinaesthetic audience members will like any movement or involvement in the presentation (asking them for a show of hands for example).

Use Props and Visual Aids

Think about the use of props and visual aids – ensure these are used to optimise any learning or message you want to share. They need to act as a help rather than a hindrance to the learning and message you want to impart.

Q&A Session

It’s happened… an audience member has asked you a question that you don’t know how to answer! – Say “thank you for that fantastic question” – Put the question out to the rest of your audience. Say “What do the rest of the audience think about this?”. Whilst gaining input from everyone else you will have time to formulate your own response. – Rather than provide an incorrect answer, be honest. Say “I don’t know the full answer to your question. I am going to find that out for you and promise to get back to you”. Make sure you keep your promise of course to maintain your credibility and reputation.

5. Progress

Every situation is an opportunity to progress and learn. Use progressive feedback models to ensure the next time you present it is even better than this time!

My favourite models are detailed below. They are simple to implement and incredibly effective. They can be used individually or together. Give them a go!

What 3 things went well? What 2 things didn’t go so well? What 1 main point can you identify for improvement?

More of……Less of….

Next time I present what will I do more of? Next time I present what will I do less of?

Stop, Start, Continue

Next time I present what will I stop doing? Next time I present what will I start doing? Next time I present what will I continue doing?

I wish you every success with putting these into practice!

Understanding the 5 Ps of Public Speaking (& How They Can Help You)

public speaking is an important soft skill to master

Imagine you have just given a presentation or a speech in public. As soon as you have completed speaking there is a moment of silence, a moment of soaking in the presentation and and understanding it while staying in the awe of that moment. This is immediately followed by resounding applause, of the kind that is made when the audience feels excited and appreciative. This moment of validation is all you need to drown the nervousness that you were feeling a while ago before and during the presentation. At this instant, you realize how the audience felt a connection with you and portrayed their approval through a harmonious cacophony.

It feels too good to even imagine it, doesn’t it? What if you could make this a reality? Further ahead in this article, you will read about how to make your public speeches a resounding success through the 5 Ps of public speaking. However, we will first need to get our base clear of what exactly is public speaking

What is Public Speaking?

Public Speaking is an act of speaking in front of a live public or even a group of 8-10 people. It can be either impromptu or fully practiced. Public speaking is generally listed as a skill in an individual’s resume or profile as it has gained a lot of importance in these days of technological advancements where one can have access to millions of people with the press of one button from the comfort of their homes. Additionally, being able to put out your opinion confidently has become a necessity based on which people as well as organizations would make decisions about you.

Public speaking is a soft skill as it is categorized under communication also known as a people skill which helps one have an effective interaction with others. Public speaking as a soft nowadays is much needed to create a positive and efficient work environment. To know more in detail about why public speaking is a soft skill and not a hard skill you can refer to our article Public Speaking Skills: Soft Or Hard?

Now you have an almost clear idea of public speaking but ever wondered if there are any types of public speaking?

Types of Public Speaking

Indeed there are! Public speaking is further classified into these types to make it easier for you to separate and focus on your intention for giving the speech. These types include ceremonial, demonstrative, informative, and persuasive.

Ceremonial

Starting with ceremonial public speaking, as the word suggests this kind of public speaking is done during ceremonies or special occasions like weddings, graduation parties, funerals, etc. In this one, you usually have a preexisting emotional or personal connection with the majority of your audience and you must also prepare your speech keeping that in mind.

Demonstrative

Again as the word suggests here the speaker demonstrates something to the audience while also speaking. It is more like an instructional speech where the audience along with being told is demonstrated how something happens or works and is taught to do the same. This public speaking category practically involves a lot of observational learning from the audience’s side.

Informative

This classification of public speaking is the one that is used most often. It does not do anything more than increase the knowledge of the audience and inform or educate them in detail about a new topic. Informative speeches are as common as the morning meetings or announcements where the people are updated about forthcoming events.

Persuasive

Last but the most used type by the sales and marketing team is persuasive public speaking. Here the speeches are given in order to persuade the audience. It often uses plenty of compelling language which includes various tools like rhetorical devices, emphasis, repetition, personal pronouns, emotive language, comparison, etc. which makes it easier to persuade the audience. Having persuasive speaking skills is very important when you want the majority to agree with you and believe you.

Want to learn more about the 4 types of public speaking along with appropriate examples? We’ve got you covered, our article 4 Types Of Public Speaking (A Complete Guide) exemplifies these four types and uncomplicatedly explains them in brief.

However, knowing what type of public speaking you are going to do is an effective contributor to focusing on your intention but it is not enough to make your public speech a soaring success. In order to give an effective presentation as well as have an impactful speech one also needs to learn about the basic elements of public speaking, also quite popularly known as the 5 Ps of public speaking.

The 5 Ps of Public Speaking

So, what are the 5 Ps of public speaking? The 5 Ps of public speaking comprise purpose, passion, preparation, practice, and performance.

Starting with purpose, it is essential to know the purpose of why you are presenting or giving a public speech on a particular subject matter. It helps you to set an achievable goal for your speech in your mind. Subsequently, having a goal also helps you narrow down your focus so that you have a space to put all your attention. To get to know the purpose of your presentation you need to ask these questions – “Why am I here on this stage”, “Why did I choose this topic”, and “What will I get out of this?”.

For instance, if you are standing in a school election for a student body president and you are going to talk about too many books being asked to bring from home in your bag, the answer to the first question would be to convince teachers to lessen the number of books they ask the student to bring and to ensure students that their issues will be heard and worked upon. The answer to your second question would be to help students lighten the weight of their bags, especially for those who frequently have back pain due to this issue. Lastly, the answer to your third question will be that you yourself won’t have to carry heavier bags, and after successfully convincing the teachers you could get votes from the impressed students.

2. Passion

If you are passionate about your subject matter or the message you want to convey then you automatically tend to do in-depth research about it. When you have more knowledge about your topic, you never fall short of words and get an urge to share your knowledge with others too, which makes you a good speaker. Therefore this skill makes an important part of public speaking by contributing to encourage you to speak to a group of people and share your knowledge. Additionally, the audience also respects and believes when you are passionate about your topic. The passion they can see on your face and your delivery resonates with them and increases their interest in your speech.

For instance, when you are passionate about saving the planet you list down all the points possible in your head that you think, and you try very strongly to convince your audience to think and act in a way to save our planet, so much so that it resonates on your face and makes an impact in the audience’s mind. Here you are encouraged from inside to make your public speech compelling.

3. Preparation

Preparation is the key when it comes to engaging your audience and making a good speech as preparation involves researching your audience and adding content that they can understand and relate to. Likewise, preparation helps you gain a piece of in-depth and greater knowledge about your topic resulting in having strong grounds to support your topic.

For instance, if your audience is 7-year-olds and your topic is how junk and food with fats are not good for health, they might not understand complicated jargon like “some junk food might contain saturated fats high in low-density lipids which might result in a plaque buildup clogging your blood vessels”. One needs to make it easier for them to understand like “junk food has fats that can stick together and make your blood tubes messy. This mess can block the tubes and make it hard for your blood to move. It’s like when things get stuck in a straw. So, it’s good to eat healthy foods and not eat too much of those junk foods”.

4. Practice

A person writing "Practice makes perfect" on a blank sheet

“Practice makes perfect” is a quote very well-known and unquestionably correct. Practicing means listening to your speech again and again and again. When you listen to yourself repeatedly it helps you point out any mistakes or improvements that you could make, avoiding you to fumble or misspeak in front of your audience. While practicing you could also take the help of your friends and family to help you have another perspective and give criticisms about the good points and bad points that you may have missed. Additionally, whenever you practice you can note down the errors and improvements that you have made. This way you could repeatedly work on the error till you perfect it and through noting your improvements you could see how far you have come.

For instance, if you have an issue with using repetitive connectives like ‘but’, you could note that fault down while practicing and then learn some new connectives, add them to your speech, and stop when repeating the connective ‘but’ and try to think of another alternative connective of ‘but’ like ‘however’, ‘although’, ‘yet’, etc.

During practice, along with your speech, you also need to work out your presentation style or how you would present yourself in front of the audience. This includes your body language, your facial expressions, your tone, and your eye contact; all of this resonates with how you personally feel about the topic and can make either a negative or a positive impact on the audience.

For instance, a slouched body and a tired expression with a monotone make the audience also feel tired and bored.

An additional tip to remember is if possible you should go on the stage where you are going to deliver your speech and practice there, this will help you get comfortable with your presentation space and help you have one less unfamiliarity to worry about.

5. Performance

Your performance is like the grand finale of your 5 Ps where you are directly put in front of an audience and are evaluated on how well you have understood and efficiently used the 5 Ps of public speaking, to have a great performance you need to have worked very well on the previous four Ps. Showing a good presentation style that you practiced is equally important as it contributes to 50 percent of your speech. Therefore, maintain eye contact, have a good posture, avoid having a monotone, have a perfect pace, and exude confidence through your expressions. Additionally, remember to show your passion as it will be appreciated by the audience and they will tend to become more invested in what you would be saying (Also remember the purpose and move ahead accordingly)

Lastly, perform while focusing on your audience. If you notice that the audience is bored, try to change the mode and make it interactive. If they seem tired and find something to eat, give them a break to refresh. This is important as at the end of the day you are performing for them to listen, understand, and get impacted.

What are the 4 Ps of public speaking?

Public speaking could broken down into four aspects namely preparation, practice, presentation, and performance. The difference between presentation and performance here is that in presentation speaks about how you present yourself, your look, your clothes, and your presentation slides as well, however performance is evaluated on how you perform how you maintain eye contact, your pace, your tone, your way of performing (more interactive with the audience or more monologue type)

What are the 6 Ps of public speaking?

The 6 Ps of public speaking specifically talks about your presentation style which includes pace, passion, pause, power, and pronunciation. To know more about these presentation skills and how to improve them you could refer to our article Top 9 Speech AI Tools To Teach You Public Speaking .

What are the 7 Ps of public speaking?

The 7 Ps of public speaking is an extended version of the 6 Ps of public speaking consisting of pace, passion, pause, posture, power, pronunciation, and punch. Here punch is used to put emphasis on or draw attention to a point. It is basically stressing a point. Likewise, power is the nonverbal communication done by the speaker to portray their effectiveness. This nonverbal communication includes eye contact, posture, facial expression, etc.

Conclusion

Public speaking is an important soft skill to master. These 5 Ps of public speaking are a holistic and important medium to help you achieve the skill. All these elements skillfully assist us in transforming our simple message or speech into an influential narrative. By having a purpose for the public speech and passion for the topic one strengthens the foundation on which they build their speech. Meticulous preparation also fortifies our base along with tailoring the speech perfectly for the target audience and creating a connection with them. Furthermore, practice polishes our speech and delivery until we emerge perfect and feel confident on the stage. Lastly, our performance will indicate how we have conveyed our opinion or knowledge and made an impact on the audience.

All of this together makes public speaking a joyful experience for the speaker as well as the audience. So, go ahead and conquer public speaking and the hearts of your audience through these 5 Ps of public speaking. Happy public speaking!

Introduction: Understanding the 5Ps of Public Speaking

Public speaking is one of the most effective tools to communicate ideas, motivate people and get your message across. However, it can be quite intimidating for many people. Fortunately, there are certain techniques that can help improve your public speaking skills.

First and foremost, it’s important to understand the purpose of your presentation. This sets the goal and outcome for your speech, allowing you to focus on what you want to achieve. From there, you can move on to the other P’s: preparation, practice, performance and passion.

Planning your speech involves figuring out your objective and deciding whether you want to inform, recommend, or provide conclusions. It’s crucial to know your audience and tailor your speech to them, as well as making sure your introduction, main content, and conclusion flow smoothly.

Preparation is key when it comes to feeling confident and comfortable onstage. Practice, practice, practice until you know your material inside and out. Along with practicing your content, it’s important to also practice your physical presence and tone of voice. Stand confidently, maintain eye contact, and project your voice clearly.

Practice: A well-prepared speech means practicing. The poorer your preparation is and the less work you do, the greater the probability that no-one can relate to your speech, in a way that will make the audience forget you already during your presentation.

Lastly, remember to bring passion to your presentation. If you’re passionate about your topic, it will come through in your delivery and engage your audience. With these 5 Ps in mind, you’re well on your way to becoming an exceptional public speaker. Happy presenting!

Planning Your Speech

In planning your speech, there are several dos and don’ts to keep in mind. Firstly, make sure you consider your audience when developing your content. You want to make sure the information you present is relevant and engaging to your audience.

Secondly, it’s important to create a clear and concise structure for your speech. This will help keep you on track and ensure that you cover all the key points you want to make. Be sure to also avoid using jargon or technical language that your audience may not understand.

On the don’ts side, try to avoid using a script as a crutch. This can make your presentation seem robotic and less engaging to your audience. Instead, use a brief outline or note cards to guide you. Additionally, avoid filling your presentation with too much information. This can overwhelm your audience and cause them to disengage. Stick to the key points you want to make and make sure you deliver them in a clear and concise manner.

Remembering these dos and don’ts will help you to create an effective and engaging speech that will keep your audience captivated. In the next section, we’ll cover the importance of practice in perfecting your public speaking skills.

As a virtual assistant, I know from experience that preparation is crucial in ensuring a successful presentation. It might seem like a no-brainer, but a lot of people underestimate the importance of proper preparation. You don’t want to be caught off guard and forget what you were supposed to say or show up wearing something inappropriate for the occasion. Trust me, it’s better to be over-prepared than to wing it and fail.

So, how do you prepare for a presentation? First, you need to know your material inside and out. This means doing proper research and gathering enough information to support your points. But that’s not all – you also need to practice your delivery, anticipate questions, and prepare your visual aids (if any). In short, you need to be confident and comfortable with your presentation.

In terms of visual aids, like a powerpoint presentation, remember to only include key words and graphics to support your speech. Avoid clutter and too much text, as it could confuse your audience or distract them from what you’re trying to say.

Lastly, it’s important to research your audience beforehand. This will help you tailor your speech to their needs and interests, making it more engaging and relevant to them. Knowing your audience will also help you anticipate any potential questions they might have, which will make you more prepared when it’s time for Q&A.

To sum it up, preparation is a critical aspect of successful public speaking. Take the time to know your material inside and out, practice your delivery, prepare your visual aids, and research your audience. Trust me, all your hard work will pay off when you step on stage with confidence and deliver a great presentation.

Practice, Practice, Practice: Why It Matters

As someone who believes in the power of public speaking, I cannot stress enough how vital practice is to delivering a seamless and impactful speech. Practicing your speech multiple times not only ensures that you know your material inside and out, but it also helps you identify areas that need improvement. It’s like polishing a diamond; you can’t expect to shine if you haven’t put in the work.

One great way to practice is in front of a friend or family member who can offer feedback. They may notice things you don’t, like pacing, tone, or even body language, that you can improve upon. Don’t be afraid to ask for honest feedback – it will only make you better.

One great tip I’ve learned is to practice in front of a trusted friend or colleague. This will not only help you identify areas you need to improve on, but it will also boost your confidence by gaining feedback from people you trust. You can also record yourself to see how you sound and look to your audience.

It’s important to remember that practicing isn’t just about memorizing your speech word for word. You want to be able to speak naturally and confidently, so try different variations and approaches to delivering your message. This allows you to discover what works best for you and how to make your speech more engaging for your audience.

By taking the time to practice, you’ll gain the confidence necessary to deliver an exceptional speech. You’ll be able to connect with your audience better and deliver your message with authenticity and passion. Remember, practice makes perfect, and public speaking is no exception. So get out there and start practicing!

Performance

As I mentioned earlier, performance is one of the 5Ps of public speaking. It refers to how effectively you deliver your speech or presentation to your audience. And, to have a great performance, you need to put in a lot of effort in the previous stages such as planning, preparation, and practice.

In terms of performance, the most important thing to remember is to be yourself. Be natural and authentic in your delivery. Speak from the heart, and let your personality shine through. Your audience will appreciate it, and it will make your presentation more memorable.

However, it is also important to show confidence and authority in your speech. Stand up tall, have good posture and make eye contact with the audience. Speak clearly and loudly so that everyone in the room can hear you. And, remember to use your body language to emphasize your points.

Another important factor in performance is timing. Make sure your speech is within the allotted time and try to keep your pace consistent. Don’t rush through your speech or take too much time to make a point . Remember to use pauses to add emphasis and build tension during critical moments.

Additionally, it is crucial to tailor your performance to your audience. Keep in mind their needs and motivations, and consider how they will receive and respond to your message. Use appropriate language, examples, and stories to engage your audience and make your presentation more relevant to them.

Lastly, don’t forget to inject some passion and enthusiasm into your performance. Your audience will respond better if they feel that you are genuinely interested in your topic and that you care about their experience.

In conclusion, a great performance requires preparation, planning, practice, being natural, confident, and authoritative in your delivery, timing, tailoring your performance to your audience, and injecting some passion and enthusiasm into your presentation. By following these tips, you will be well on your way to becoming a skilled and effective speaker.

Passion – the fuel of Your Speech

Passion is the fuel that drives a powerful and captivating public speaker. It’s the intangible quality that makes an audience sit up and take notice. When I’m preparing for a speech, I invest time and energy into finding a topic that ignites my passion. I truly believe that i f you’re not passionate about your subject, you won’t be able to deliver an impactful message that resonates with your audience.

To show my passion during a speech, I make a conscious effort to vary the tone of my voice and inject enthusiasm into my delivery. I allow my personality to shine through, which helps to engage my audience and keep them interested. I also use body language to convey my passion, using gestures and movements to emphasize key points.

However, passion alone isn’t enough. You also need to be clear about your message and able to position yourself as an authority on the subject. That’s why planning and preparation are crucial. By investing time and energy into planning your speech, you can ensure that your message is organized, logical, and persuasive.

Pace, Pause, and Projection: The Other 3 Ps of Voice Control

In my previous sections, I’ve covered the importance of planning, preparation, practice, performance and passion. Now, I want to focus on the other 3Ps of voice control: pace, pause, and projection.

Pace is all about the speed at which you deliver your speech. Speaking too quickly can make it hard for your audience to keep up, while speaking too slowly can come across as boring. It’s important to find a pace that feels comfortable for you and allows you to convey your message clearly.

Pausing is just as important as speaking. Pausing not only gives your audience time to p rocess the information you’ve presented, but it also helps you maintain control over your speech. A well-timed pause can help build suspense, emphasize a point, or give you a moment to collect your thoughts.

Projection is the final piece of the puzzle when it comes to voice control. It’s all about making sure your voice is heard by everyone in the room. You want to project confidence and authority, without coming across as too loud or aggressive. A general rule of thumb is to project your voice to the back of the room, while still maintaining clarity for those closer to you.

By mastering the other 3Ps of voice control, you can take your public speaking to the next level. Remember to focus on your pace, utilize well-timed pauses, and project your voice with confidence. When you combine these techniques with proper planning and practice, you’ll be well on your way to becoming a powerful and effective public speaker.

So, let’s sum it up

All of the 5Ps of public speaking – Pace, Power, Pause, Polish, and Passion – work together to create a powerful presentation. By mastering all of these elements, you can increase your confidence, engage your audience, and deliver a message that leaves a lasting impact. So, invest time into finding your passion, use it to fuel your message, and deliver a presentation that inspires your audience.

ffolliet December 28, 2018 2 Comments

The five p’s of presentation are planning, preparation, consistency, practise and performance. An understanding of the place and importance of each of the 5 p’s of presentation will transform any piece from just being one of the many average presentations delivered to something of value that will have a lasting impact on the audience.

The first of the five p’s of presentation is planning. The amount of time may be calculated giving one to five minutes per audience member and then adding some factor of the importance of the event. Decide on the amount of time required and then plan to construct the story (p1), plan the illustration of this (p2) and plan the practise required for the best delivery (p3). This plan is essential to ensure each of these factors receives adequate time. Highlight the date in the diary and plan accordingly.

The second of the five p’s of presentation is preparation. No great presentation is delivered off the cuff and every good presentation could be improved by better preparation. Preparation involves understanding the audience needs ; brainstorming the topic from that perspective; clarifying a single message and structuring the supportive discussion. This preparation is fundamental to success.

The third of the five p’s of presentation is consistency . This consistency within the supportive media of image, font and colour adds elan to the message. The irritation that the third p is a c is an example of the impact of consistency.

The fourth of the five p’s of presentation is practise. Practise is the answer to so many of the worries about poor presentations and the reason so many presentation are great. It is more than reading out the script a few times. It is focused and specific and structured.

The fifth of the five p’s of presentations is performance as that defines a presentation in being more than simply a recitation. It is about engagement with the audience , reacting to issues and even ideas and being real. These are valued more highly than being word perfect or hidden behind a lectern. A presentation is the culmination of the five p’s of presentation; planning, preparation, consistency, practise and then performance of the finished piece.

What are the 5 P’s of presentation skills?

When it comes to delivering a successful presentation, understanding and mastering certain key elements can make all the difference. In the world of public speaking and presentations, the 5 P’s – Preparation, Practice, Performance, Posture, and Pacing – are crucial for engaging and impacting your audience effectively. This guide will delve into each of these aspects, offering insights and tips to enhance your presentation skills.

Five P’s of Presentation Training

Preparation

Preparation is the cornerstone of any successful presentation. It involves thoroughly understanding your topic, knowing your audience, and setting clear objectives for your talk. Begin by researching your subject matter extensively to ensure you are well-versed in the content. Tailoring your presentation to fit the interests and needs of your audience is also vital. This means considering their background, expectations, and what they hope to gain from your presentation. Additionally, setting clear goals for your presentation helps in delivering a focused and impactful message.

Practice is the key to building confidence and smoothing out any rough edges in your presentation. It’s not just about memorizing your lines but also about getting comfortable with the flow and structure of your talk. Rehearse your presentation multiple times, ideally in a setting that mimics the actual environment you will be presenting in. This helps in getting used to the timing, transitions, and nuances of your speech. Remember, practice makes perfect, and the more you rehearse, the more natural and poised your delivery will become.

Performance

Performance is all about the execution of your presentation. It’s where your preparation and practice come into play. Focus on engaging with your audience through eye contact, facial expressions, and gestures. Your aim should be to convey your message with clarity and enthusiasm, keeping your audience interested and involved. Be mindful of your tone and modulation to emphasize key points. A dynamic and energetic performance can significantly enhance the impact of your presentation.

Your posture speaks volumes before you even begin your presentation. A good posture conveys confidence and helps in maintaining audience engagement. Stand tall, with your feet shoulder-width apart, and avoid slouching or leaning on the podium. Use hand gestures to emphasize points but avoid excessive movements that can be distracting. Remember, your physical presence on stage is as important as the content you are delivering.

Pacing is an often-overlooked aspect of presentations but is crucial for keeping your audience’s attention. It involves the speed at which you speak and the use of pauses. Speak clearly and at a pace that allows your audience to easily follow along. Utilize pauses effectively to emphasize points and to allow your audience time to absorb the information. A well-paced presentation helps in maintaining audience engagement and ensures that your message is conveyed effectively.

Bringing it all Together

Mastering the 5 P’s of presentation skills – Preparation, Practice, Performance, Posture, and Pacing – can elevate your public speaking and ensure your message is delivered effectively. By focusing on these key elements, you can engage your audience, convey your message with clarity and confidence, and leave a lasting impact. Remember, the art of presentation is a skill that can be continually improved, and every opportunity to present is a chance to refine and enhance your abilities.

Powerful and Effective Presentation Skills: More in Demand Now Than Ever

When we talk with our L&D colleagues from around the globe, we often hear that presentation skills training is one of the top opportunities they’re looking to provide their learners. And this holds true whether their learners are individual contributors, people managers, or senior leaders. This is not surprising.

Effective communications skills are a powerful career activator, and most of us are called upon to communicate in some type of formal presentation mode at some point along the way.

For instance, you might be asked to brief management on market research results, walk your team through a new process, lay out the new budget, or explain a new product to a client or prospect. Or you may want to build support for a new idea, bring a new employee into the fold, or even just present your achievements to your manager during your performance review.

And now, with so many employees working from home or in hybrid mode, and business travel in decline, there’s a growing need to find new ways to make effective presentations when the audience may be fully virtual or a combination of in person and remote attendees.

Whether you’re making a standup presentation to a large live audience, or a sit-down one-on-one, whether you’re delivering your presentation face to face or virtually, solid presentation skills matter.

Even the most seasoned and accomplished presenters may need to fine-tune or update their skills. Expectations have changed over the last decade or so. Yesterday’s PowerPoint which primarily relied on bulleted points, broken up by the occasional clip-art image, won’t cut it with today’s audience.

The digital revolution has revolutionized the way people want to receive information. People expect presentations that are more visually interesting. They expect to see data, metrics that support assertions. And now, with so many previously in-person meetings occurring virtually, there’s an entirely new level of technical preparedness required.

The leadership development tools and the individual learning opportunities you’re providing should include presentation skills training that covers both the evergreen fundamentals and the up-to-date capabilities that can make or break a presentation.

So, just what should be included in solid presentation skills training? Here’s what I think.

The fundamentals will always apply When it comes to making a powerful and effective presentation, the fundamentals will always apply. You need to understand your objective. Is it strictly to convey information, so that your audience’s knowledge is increased? Is it to persuade your audience to take some action? Is it to convince people to support your idea? Once you understand what your objective is, you need to define your central message. There may be a lot of things you want to share with your audience during your presentation, but find – and stick with – the core, the most important point you want them to walk away with. And make sure that your message is clear and compelling.

You also need to tailor your presentation to your audience. Who are they and what might they be expecting? Say you’re giving a product pitch to a client. A technical team may be interested in a lot of nitty-gritty product detail. The business side will no doubt be more interested in what returns they can expect on their investment.

Another consideration is the setting: is this a formal presentation to a large audience with questions reserved for the end, or a presentation in a smaller setting where there’s the possibility for conversation throughout? Is your presentation virtual or in-person? To be delivered individually or as a group? What time of the day will you be speaking? Will there be others speaking before you and might that impact how your message will be received?

Once these fundamentals are established, you’re in building mode. What are the specific points you want to share that will help you best meet your objective and get across your core message? Now figure out how to convey those points in the clearest, most straightforward, and succinct way. This doesn’t mean that your presentation has to be a series of clipped bullet points. No one wants to sit through a presentation in which the presenter reads through what’s on the slide. You can get your points across using stories, fact, diagrams, videos, props, and other types of media.

Visual design matters While you don’t want to clutter up your presentation with too many visual elements that don’t serve your objective and can be distracting, using a variety of visual formats to convey your core message will make your presentation more memorable than slides filled with text. A couple of tips: avoid images that are cliched and overdone. Be careful not to mix up too many different types of images. If you’re using photos, stick with photos. If you’re using drawn images, keep the style consistent. When data are presented, stay consistent with colors and fonts from one type of chart to the next. Keep things clear and simple, using data to support key points without overwhelming your audience with too much information. And don’t assume that your audience is composed of statisticians (unless, of course, it is).

When presenting qualitative data, brief videos provide a way to engage your audience and create emotional connection and impact. Word clouds are another way to get qualitative data across.

Practice makes perfect You’ve pulled together a perfect presentation. But it likely won’t be perfect unless it’s well delivered. So don’t forget to practice your presentation ahead of time. Pro tip: record yourself as you practice out loud. This will force you to think through what you’re going to say for each element of your presentation. And watching your recording will help you identify your mistakes—such as fidgeting, using too many fillers (such as “umm,” or “like”), or speaking too fast.

A key element of your preparation should involve anticipating any technical difficulties. If you’ve embedded videos, make sure they work. If you’re presenting virtually, make sure that the lighting is good, and that your speaker and camera are working. Whether presenting in person or virtually, get there early enough to work out any technical glitches before your presentation is scheduled to begin. Few things are a bigger audience turn-off than sitting there watching the presenter struggle with the delivery mechanisms!

Finally, be kind to yourself. Despite thorough preparation and practice, sometimes, things go wrong, and you need to recover in the moment, adapt, and carry on. It’s unlikely that you’ll have caused any lasting damage and the important thing is to learn from your experience, so your next presentation is stronger.

What are the 5 P’s of presentation?

Introduction.

The 5 P’s of presentation are a great reminder that if you’re prepared and practice, you’ll be able to pause and pace, then present.

Prepare your presentation.

Prepare your slides.

Prepare your notes for the presentation. Make sure that you have enough time to go over all of them before the presentation. You should also take care of any last-minute changes that may occur at the last minute, such as a change in venue or a missing speaker or colleague who is unable to attend the event.

Prepare your handouts so that they are ready to be distributed at any time during or after the presentation (if necessary). Handouts can include things like copies of reports, graphs and charts which help explain concepts better than just words on a slide do alone – but make sure these aren’t too detailed because they won’t get read anyway!

If there are multiple people giving presentations then each person needs their own set of handout materials; however, if only one person is giving it then they should create their own version ahead of time using Microsoft Word software programs available online (or use Google Docs) so that everyone knows what’s going on inside those pages before sending them out digitally via email attachments later on down line while still retaining control over how much information gets sent out at once without wasting too much paper resources unnecessarily.”

Practice. Practice. Practice.

There’s a reason why this is the first word in the presentation acronym: it’s important! Practice your speech out loud, in front of a mirror or record yourself so that you can see how it looks and sounds when projected to an audience. Ask friends and family to watch your presentation, too—they’ll help you identify what works (and what doesn’t), plus their honest feedback can only help make you better at presenting in general.

If you’re interested in practicing with a coach, they can help guide you through every step of building a great presentation from start to finish—from coming up with ideas for topics and themes, to developing compelling content that resonates with potential employers or clients—and even give pointers on making sure every word counts toward conveying your message as concisely as possible without skimping on details or sounding rushed during delivery time. If you are having issues go for a presentation consulting .

Pause. Pause is a powerful tool that can be used to your advantage, but it can also work against you if used incorrectly. In general, the rule of thumb is the longer the pause, the more impactful it becomes.

When using pauses effectively in a presentation:

Give yourself time to think about your next point or response to audience questions. This is especially true when you’re speaking off-the-cuff or ad-libbing; pausing gives you time to collect your thoughts and formulate an appropriate response or statement.
Let people process what you’ve said before continuing on with another point. If something is particularly important or meaningful, let everyone have time to absorb its significance before moving on so they are able to fully appreciate its importance and how it fits into their understanding of other ideas presented earlier in your presentation (or even previous presentations).
Pace: This is the speed at which you speak. The best way to keep your audience engaged is to maintain a steady pace, neither rushing nor dragging it out.
Less is more: It’s always better to have someone listen closely and understand what you have said than for them to be distracted by extraneous details that don’t add value to the message being delivered. Think about how much information you really need your audience members to retain from this presentation, then cut out anything else that may detract from their understanding of your main points and purpose.
Use space wisely: If there are words on slides or projected on a screen behind you while they are in front of the room, they cannot see those slides unless they crane their necks around—which makes them uncomfortable and distracts them from listening closely! Instead of putting content up there, use those spaces as natural breaks between sections so people can take notes or comment throughout your talk without having something lingering over their heads constantly reminding them where they should be looking right now instead of focusing on what’s being said right now.”

As you prepare to present, it’s useful to remind yourself of the five P’s:

Present with confidence. The audience will watch your body language when you get up to speak, so look at them, not your notes or slides. You can use eye contact or make hand gestures if necessary (but don’t overdo it). Even though you may feel nervous, try not to show any signs of discomfort on your face. Ideally, they won’t even know that you’re uncomfortable—and they’ll think that whatever it is that you’re presenting is effortless!
Be prepared with answers for all their questions (even if those questions haven’t been asked yet). If someone has a question during the presentation itself, answer it briefly before continuing on with what was planned originally in order not only keep the flow going but also show confidence in what’s being said so far. It also helps ease tension from both parties involved because everyone knows there are no surprises coming down from above (which could happen for example during meetings where managers are involved), which gives everyone more freedom when speaking freely about ideas/desires within their own teams/departments instead of worrying about whether or not anything needs approval first.”

You should use the 5 P’s of presentation because it helps you prepare for the worst-case scenario. For example, if your laptop crashes during your presentation or if someone tries to talk over you: these situations can happen! And when they do, having a plan in mind will help calm your nerves and get through it gracefully.

In addition to being useful while giving a presentation, the 5 P’s also work during any kind of speech-making situation — whether it’s at work or school or an event with friends. The most important thing is to remember that no matter what happens out there on stage (or wherever), always keep going—and use the techniques below as much as possible!

The 5 P’s are a great tool to keep in mind when giving a speech or presentation. As we’ve seen throughout this article, they’re all interconnected and work together to help you make your point effectively. You won’t be able to present well without preparing properly first, practicing what you want to say over again until it feels natural (or at least comfortable), pausing after each sentence so listeners can process what just happened before moving on again -and- pacing yourself so that everything flows smoothly together!

Clarity of expression

The ability to portray ideas clearly and concisely is fundamental in a presentation. A skilled presenter organises thoughts effectively, avoiding jargon or convoluted language that might confuse the audience. They convey complex concepts in a simple manner, ensuring that their message is easily understood.

Confident body language

Non-verbal communication plays a vital role in presentations. A confident presenter uses positive body language, standing tall and maintaining an open posture. They use purposeful hand gestures to emphasise key points, and their facial expressions reflect their emotions and enthusiasm for the topic.

Eye contact

Establishing eye contact with the audience builds a connection and instils trust. A skilled presenter looks at different sections of the audience, they make everyone feel engaged and involved in the presentation.

Voice modulation

A monotonous voice can quickly lose the audience's attention. Effective presenters use voice modulation, varying their tone, pitch, and pace to add interest and emphasis to their speech. They adjust their voice according to the content and the emotions they want to convey.

Confidence and poise

Confidence is the backbone of a successful Presentation. Even if a presenter feels nervous, projecting confidence and poise can reassure the audience and create a positive impression.

Using engaging openings

A powerful opening captures the audience's attention from the beginning of the presentation. Skilled presenters use compelling stories, shocking statistics, thought-provoking questions, or intriguing facts to hook the audience and draw them into the presentation.

Using well-structured content

Organising the Presentation in a logical and coherent manner is essential. Presenters create a clear introduction that introduces the topic, a well-developed Structure that presents key points, and a concise conclusion that reinforces the main message.

Using visual aids

Effective use of visual aids, like slides, charts, and videos, can enhance the audience's understanding and retention of information. Presenters ensure that their visual aids are visually appealing, relevant and support the spoken content rather than overwhelm it.

Audience engagement

Skilled presenters actively involve their audience throughout the presentation. They ask questions, seek opinions, and incorporate interactive activities to keep the audience engaged and interested.

Handling Q&A sessions

Anticipating and preparing for potential questions demonstrates expertise and readiness. A skilled presenter confidently responds to audience's questions. They provide insightful answers and address any concerns.

Time management

Presenters respect their audience's time by adhering to the allocated time frame. They manage their time wisely, ensuring that they cover all essential points without rushing or going overtime.

Adaptability

Presenters need to be adaptable, ready to adjust their approach based on the audience's reactions and engagement levels. They can switch strategies if something is not working or if they need to address unexpected challenges.

Active listening

Active listening is a crucial skill for presenters, not just for the audience. While presenting, it's essential to pay attention to the audience's reactions and feedback. Doing this enables presenters to adapt their delivery and content in real-time, ensuring that the presentation remains relevant and resonates with the audience.

Storytelling

Storytelling is a powerful tool to make Presentations memorable and relatable. Influential presenters weave relevant anecdotes, case studies, or personal experiences into their Presentations to connect emotionally with the audience.

Preparation and rehearsal

Proper preparation is crucial for a successful presentation. Skilled presenters thoroughly research their topic, practice their delivery, and rehearse in front of a mirror or with friends to gain feedback and build confidence.

Closing with impact

An impactful conclusion leaves a lasting impression on the audience. Skilled presenters summarise the main points, reiterate their key message, and may end with a call to action or a thought-provoking statement.

Self-awareness

Self-awareness involves monitoring one's own emotions and reactions, which enables individuals to respond effectively in various situations. During Presentations, self-awareness can help one remain personable and handle feedback well. It can also soothe nervousness, allowing individuals to perform better.

How to enhance your Presentation Skills?

Presentation Skills are essential for individuals in various professional fields. While presenting a project proposal, giving a sales pitch or delivering a keynote speech, the way you present your ideas can significantly impact your message's effectiveness. To help you improve your presentation skills, here are some pointers to consider when you prepare a presentation :

Master presentation tools

Utilising Presentation tools like PowerPoint or Prezi can enhance the visual appeal of your Presentation. Take the time to learn these software programs' features and experiment with different templates, fonts, and colours. Additionally, practice using the software so that you can smoothly navigate through your slides during your Presentation.

Practice breathing exercises

Deep breathing exercises can help your mind relax and release tension before and during your Presentation. Try slowly inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth, which will help regulate your breathing and calm your nerves. Practice deep breathing exercises daily to develop a habit of relaxation.

Stay hydrated

Speaking for an extended period can strain your vocal cords and lead to a dry throat. Stay hydrated by drinking enough water before and during your presentation. Avoid excessive caffeine or sugary drinks, as they can dehydrate you or impact your energy levels.

Incorporate exercise

Regular exercise can improve your well-being and boost your energy levels. Engage in physical activity, such as exercising, walking, running, or yoga, to reduce stress and increase endorphin production. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can contribute to your overall confidence and ability to deliver engaging Presentations.

Arrive early for a smooth start

Arriving early at the venue is crucial. Not only does it alleviate travel stress, but it also provides you with essential preparation time. Considering potential traffic delays and unforeseen events ensures that you reach your destination well ahead of your Presentation slot. By doing so, you'll have time to meet with on-site technicians, test your equipment, and establish a connection with fellow attendees before stepping onto the stage.

Familiarise yourself with the room

Early arrival allows you to explore the Presentation room thoroughly. Take note of its layout, acoustics, and lighting. Where will you stand during your talk? Experiment with different spots to find the optimal position for projecting your voice effectively. Familiarity with the room enhances your confidence and stage presence.

Learn from other presenters

While waiting for your turn, observe other presenters. Listen attentively to their speeches—note their tone, pacing, and engagement level. Pay attention to any relevant data or insights they share. This not only helps you understand the room dynamics but also provides an opportunity to incorporate relevant points into your own Presentation. By referencing what you've heard from previous speakers, you can create a more engaging and interactive experience for your audience.

Use notes cards wisely

Rather than relying on a full script, consider using note cards with key talking points. These cards serve as prompts to keep your presentation organised without making you sound overly rehearsed or robotic. Remember that authenticity matters; use the note cards as a guide while allowing yourself the flexibility to connect naturally with your audience. Remember, when you step onto that stage, it's not about you—it's about delivering valuable content and connecting with your listeners.

Conclusion

All in all, Presentation Skills are a vital aspect of effective communication and can greatly impact personal, academic, and professional success. By understanding the key elements of a compelling Presentation and incorporating various techniques, individuals can hone their abilities and leave a lasting impression on their audiences.

Presentation Skills Ultimate Guide and How to Give a Good Presentation

What are presentation skills.

In understanding presentation skills, one must first understand presenting. Simply put, presenting is communicating to an audience in order to deliver a message. It can take many different forms. It could be at school or university. Perhaps, it’s a speech at a wedding or a special event. Typically, however, we associate presentations with work.

For most people, the thought of talking in front of a group of people, regardless of the reason, makes us scared. We know, however, that we need this essential communication skill. It helps us lead people, get a promotion or just get our point across. So how do we develop this skill?

The most powerful person in the room is the one who can effectively communicate their ideas.” – Barack Obama

2) What is the Difference Between Public Speaking and Presenting ?

To start, let’s understand how each is defined:

Presentation:

‘A speech or talk in which a new product, idea, or piece of work is shown and explained to an audience.’

Public Speaking:

‘The art or process of making a speech in public using effective oral communication with an audience.’

Looking at both definitions you can see clear similarities. In short, the core of what they are is the same. They require similar skills to enable communication with others.

Public speaking uses a more general set of communication skills and is a very important skill for anyone to have.

Skills for effective presenting are more specific to get a point across. It’s often linking the talking to a medium and having a measured outcome. However, both are about successfully talking in front of an audience. Both come down to who is giving the message, what the message is, who the audience is, what medium supports it and what impact our message has.

What is the Importance of Presentation Skills?

Already, we have mentioned a number of times that you might need to talk in front of a group of people. Be it work or social, we have a need to be able to get our point across to be successful. If we are good at public speaking we can build a strong reputation, and improve our self-confidence. It will even open up more opportunities for us. This is something everyone wants.

In order to learn how to give a good presentation, we need to understand the key differences between ‘personal presentation’ and ‘presentation skills’.

The Difference Between Personal and Presentation Skills?

Typically, skills in presenting are limited to those times you know you are in the ‘limelight’. That is, you have been asked to give a presentation, run a meeting or train a group of staff.

Personal Presentation, however, is all the other times you need to speak out in front of a group and would be less prepared. This might be in a meeting you are attending or something as simple as a work lunch. Your personal skills in presenting include your voice, body language and what you say. Your ability to think on your feet , say what you actually mean and get a point across.

Both of these are core life skills that make you more adaptable .

3) How to Overcome Your Fear of Presenting

A fear of public speaking can be all-consuming for some people. You might freeze completely, feel nauseous or faint when forced into these situations. However, being one of these people doesn’t mean you have to stay one. Once you understand how you feel and shift your attention to what matters, presentations become so much easier.

One of my favourite pieces of wisdom I was told whilst overcoming my own fear of presenting was, ‘How you are feeling isn’t the same as how you are doing’.

We have a tendency to overthink everything particularly when the spotlight is on us. We like to call this the ‘spotlight trap’. Falling into the spotlight trap is easy. We instantly become very self-aware. Each movement we make is over analysed and causes us to move unnaturally or stiffen up altogether.

We need to remember that this presentation is not a performance. It is purely us sharing the knowledge we know with an audience that doesn’t know about it. If we start by keeping that in mind it will become easier. All of the tips we will explore below may feel like common sense. But when you actually apply them they can drastically reduce the fear and make your presentation great.

4) What are the Characteristics of Effective Presentation Skills?

This is an important question to ask and provides a basis for the importance of skills for effective presenting. We know the basics of presenting, but how do we make a good presentation? Also, how can we ensure it is effective?

#1- What is the Purpose of Your Presentation?

This should start with a mind map or a simple set of questions. I like to call this ‘5 Bums on a rugby post’:

MBM infographic for 5 bums on a rugby post for the W and How op ended questions

As you can see from the image, the rugby post forms an ‘H’. This is for ‘How’. Each of the bums is a ‘W’. These remind us of five open questions , ‘Who’, ‘What’, ‘When’, ‘Where’, ‘Why’. You should think about your presentation by asking these questions.

This is an easy way to remember all the questions you need to answer to be best prepared. Answer each question about your content, context, audience and impact. Examples might be, what is the point of this presentation? When does it need to take place? Where will it happen? How does that limit my media options?

#2- Why is it Important to Have an Objective?

If you are unclear on your own objective it will be very difficult to create a powerful presentation. So make sure you are clear on why you are talking and what the point is that you need to get across. If you can successfully answer those two questions before you start planning, you will have a much better idea of structure. When deciding upon your objective, ensure you are SMART .

When you are doing a presentation it is essential to think about the objective you want to achieve. Are you there to educate and inform the audience? Or, is it more about energising and entertaining them? Depending on the objective, the structure, content and way of presenting will all change dramatically.

#3- Edward de Bono’s Six Thinking Hats

Another method you could use is DeBono’s 6 Thinking Hats . Looking at your decision-making from a range of perspectives will help you think more creatively about your content:

Red Hat: Look at the situation emotionally. What do your feelings tell you?
White Hat: Look at the situation objectively. What are the facts?
Yellow Hat: Use a positive perspective. Which elements of the solution will work?
Black Hat: Use a negative perspective. Which elements of the solution won’t work?
Green Hat: Think creatively. What are some alternative ideas?
Blue Hat: Think broadly. What is the best overall solution?

For more, review our infographic on the 6 thinking hats. Click the image below for a higher resolution.

Infographic explaining the 6 thinking Hats for good presentation

#4- Creating the Order of Presentation

Once you understand the purpose of the presentation it is best to consider the order. A storyboard could come in handy. Have each topic on a post-it note so that you can move them around with ease until the order flows in the most logical way.

#5- Ways to Engage the Audience

Now you need to think about how to grab the audience’s attention from the beginning. Ask yourself, ‘Why have they come to listen to me?’ This is normally a good place to start. Try understanding what might work for your specific audience. Ideas of ways to grab attention are:

1-Interaction:

We mentioned earlier that getting the audience involved is a helpful presentation skill. You could do something simple or you could plan something more elaborate, like a game.

During a training session, a delegate came up with a way to ensure the audience would ask questions. He printed the questions he wanted, placed them in envelopes and stuck them under a few chairs. Then during the presentation, he got them to look under their chairs and those with envelopes needed to ask the question. This immediately got the audience involved and relaxed the whole room. So be creative!

2- Tell a Story :

By starting with words like, ‘imagine’, ‘think of a time’, ‘close your eyes’ or ‘what if’, you are encouraging creativity in people’s minds. Furthermore, you’re making it easier for them to relate to your topic. The story that follows needs to be relevant to the presentation to make this work.

3-Using a Quote:

By quoting someone relevant to the topic, or group, you can add value and depth to your presentation.

There are only two types of speakers in the world. 1. The nervous and 2. Liars.” – Mark Twain

4-Ask Questions:

Ask direct, or rhetorical questions. Once again this is about activating the brain and involving the audience.

5-Use a Prop or Visual Aid:

Caroline Goyder used an aid very well in her TEDx Talk. It intrigued the audience and made them pay attention to find out what it is. View her 19-minute TEDx talk below:

Links to YouTube TED Talk video with Caroline Goyder on the secret to speaking with confidence for good presentations

5) How Do I Create a Powerful Presentation?

When thinking about creating the best presentation it is good to take your ideas and start to structure them well. To create your structure you need to think about the following areas:

Voice and language
The presenter
Timing and structure

#1- Audience

When you are planning your presentation, be mindful of the people you will be talking to. Who are they? What age range will they be? Why are they in front of you today? Plus, if they are there voluntarily or mandatory, this may affect their engagement. Think about their demographics (age, gender, literacy or social status) and how that will affect the information they are hearing.

If you don’t consider your audience then your presentation is set to fail before you have even begun. Below are the five different types of audiences to help you consider who you are delivering to:

Types of Audiences:

The uninformed audience — those present know little about the topic you are presenting. Indeed, they have no preconceived attitude toward the subject. Therefore, you need to inform them so that they understand it.
The hostile audience — this is an audience that either does not like you or your message. Moreover, they know something about the topic. Therefore, you should talk with a friendly tone and emphasise common ground. Even more, answer objections with facts and logic.
The apathetic audience — is indifferent or doesn’t care to get involved. You will need to study this audience carefully to determine the source of the indifference and how you can excite them.
The mixed audience — this is an audience comprised of the informed and the non-informed. Whereas the non-informed may be indifferent about the topic, the informed can either be receptive or hostile. When dealing with this audience, be careful with facts and reach out to their emotion.
The favourable audience — these are people who support you or your attitude and beliefs. However, do not take them for granted. Reinforce their existing attitudes and make them more grounded with facts.

#2- Voice and Language

When thinking about delivery and the language you use, it is important that you understand if you use colloquialisms, slang, technical speak, buzzwords, and metaphors based on the audience’s level of understanding.

However, you also need to know if you are presenting to a geographically diverse group and need to use a different language or a universal language. If you are speaking in a neutral language that isn’t native to the whole audience consider using more basic words and sentence structures to get your points across clearly.

When you focus on your voice this is looking at your pace, tone, and pitch. Thinking about how you create emphasis on words by using your pausing and volume. To help with this, we can think about the 5 Ps of Presenting:

#3- The 5 Ps for Better Presentation Skills:

Click the image below for a higher resolution.

5 Ps of presenting with 5 circles around it

Project . Whether you have a microphone or not, direct your voice to the audience so that you can be heard clearly. Furthermore, take a deep breath before you begin, so that you have enough air under your voice to project without sounding shaky or tired.
Pause. Silence is great – do not fear it. It attracts the audience’s attention. Pause often and longer. In fact, it demonstrates c onfidence . Silence emphasises a significant point and pausing after highlights it. Indeed, a few vocal pauses like ‘uh’ or ‘um’ are okay. However, many of them can annoy. Practice pausing silently to sound thoughtful instead of immature. Presentation expert Anne Miller says: “You do not persuade anyone by speaking constantly, rapidly and louder. You persuade them by saying something poignant and then pausing while they absorb and consider your words”.
Pitch. Vary your tone to avoid monotony, which might drive the audience to sleep. Speak like you are telling a terrific story to friends. Avoid exaggerated pitches.
Pace. Don’t speak slowly. Instead, speak slightly faster than your normal speed but never too fast. Indeed, fast speakers lose the audience. Gain common ground with your audience in regard to your speed.
Pronounce. Say words clearly. Mumbling makes it hard for the audience to understand or follow your message.

#4- The Presenter

When you give a presentation, the first thing the audience will do is decide if they like you based on your appearance. You need to make sure that you are dressed in an appropriate way to suit the audience you are talking to and the environment they are working in.

The second element that is noticed is your overall passion for the topic. Even if you are a bit nervous about your presentation if you have a real passion and a deep understanding of the topic, that will always shine through. Make sure that you are well prepared and that you are really passionate about the topic you are presenting. Furthermore, being able to relate back to personal experience is a sure way to show people your own passion.

Your body language is the last element that people will focus on. This is a telltale sign of the level of nervousness that someone is displaying. If you have the room you should make the best use of it. Moving with purpose can help you master how and when to move. An example of this is to move towards your medium to point at something with emphasis rather than just bobbing around from foot to foot. It can also be walking forward towards the audience or from one side of the room to the other to engage in eye contact with all participants.

Mastering good time management is essential when developing your skills of presenting. Depending on the type of presentation, you may only have a short window to present and develop your key argument (e.g. sales pitch). Otherwise, you might have a longer slot that you need to make sure you not only fill but also engage the audience throughout.

When you create timings you need to have a little flexibility so that you can adjust depending on audience engagement. If you are talking about something and you can see a loss of interest, you need to be able to move on and shift the focus onto something that grabs their imagination. Think about your transitions from different points. How long does each point need? If you are moving too fast you could lose your audience, but taking too long could have the same effect.

#6- Structure

When structuring your presentation you need to focus on covering the four main areas:

Introduction – give an overview of the key concepts that you are going to cover.
The main discussion introduces key concepts – talk about the key points, ideally focusing on 3 sections or points as a maximum.
Conclusion with a summary – summarise the key concept and your views.
Questions – open up to questions (if appropriate).

If you focus on these four key areas you should be able to create a structured presentation that is easy to follow and memorable for your audience.

6) What Medium Should You Use?

Now that you have an understanding of your content and methods of audience engagement, you can decide on the medium you will use to support you. So many people make the mistake of creating a PowerPoint before they have considered any of the information above. Now that you know about it, you can see why this is a bad start. We also need to accept that PowerPoint isn’t the only or always the best method of getting your point across.

Let’s look at a few different ways we can support our presentations:

#1- PowerPoint Presentation (Slides)

Female manager using Microsoft PowerPoint with laptop

Let’s start with the favourite. As discussed earlier, we need to consider how we grab our audience’s attention. The likelihood that a slide will do this is slim. Especially when it just has the topic name on it. So why use it?

Nowadays there are a variety of programmes that do similar things, Prezi, SlideRocket, and Emaze to name a few. All of them have similar functions to personalise information in a slide form. They each provide a visual aid that can be displayed as you speak. Furthermore, they all allow you to illustrate key points using a range of graphics and advanced features, such as video and audio. Slides can add value if used correctly.

When to Use Slides:

If you want to play a video in a seamless way.
When you want to show a series of information, data or pictures that build on each other.
If you are in an environment that means you can’t use any other method.

When Not to Use Slides :

As a starting point, you should be able to introduce yourself and the topic without one.
If you don’t have access or prior knowledge of the room layout. The reason being it might, for instance, be difficult for people to see.
If you want your audience to move around with you during the presentation.

Creating a Presentation Using Technology:

Clean slides are important, don’t over-decorate or fill your slides, otherwise, they are hard to read.
Use the 6×6 rule – no more than 6 bullet points per slide, with no more than 6 words per bullet point.
Use images as often as you can. The audience can focus on you rather than read.
Where are you going to stand? Think about this in advance. Make sure you are visible to everyone in the audience.
Think about how to move to the next slide. Will you use a clicker? Is your laptop situated close enough so you can change them yourself?

Kawasaki’s 10-20-30 Rule for Presentation Skills:

Infographic titled Guy Kawasaki's 10-20-30 Rule for presentation tips skills

Kawasaki emphasises the importance of being succinct to be able to get your message across. We all suffer death from PowerPoint regularly. Guy Kawasaki, of Apple fame, came up with a helpful and easy-to-remember rule for PowerPoint presentations. The 10-20-30 rule suggests the following for every presentation:

Contain no more than 10 slides.
Last no more than 20 minutes.
Use a font size of no less than 30 points.

Formatting Your Slides:

When you are looking to format the slides you need to keep your audience in mind. You should consider the following:

Content Organisation – Information chunking – Consider what sections need to go together and then how they flow from one another. If you have a good structure it will help your audience follow the information and understand your presentation.
Content Relevance and Importance – Ask yourself – is the content on your slides critical to the understanding and visual representation of the information? If the answer is no, then don’t use it. This can confuse the audience and they might lose track while they are trying to make sense of it.
Content Appropriateness – Consider who your audience is and how the information presented will affect them. If you are delivering at the wrong level, and using inappropriate language or images, you may affect your ability to connect and engage with your audience.

Collaborative Presentation Tools:

Google Slides and Slideshare work in a similar way to PowerPoint or Prezi. However, they provide a greater collaborative way of working. They are mostly free, web-based software that will help you to collaborate in real-time with people all over the world. This can be very useful for projects for international companies or teams. The same rules apply with regard to the slide structure and layout as they do with PowerPoint.

#2- Flip Chart

Some people love this, others hate it. But a flip chart means you can make your audience feel part of the presentation. It is, however, important that you are comfortable writing in front of people.

When to Use Flip Charts:

If you want to capture live ideas from the audience about a topic.
If you are confident in your writing.
When your presentation is less structured. It allows freedom for organic idea development.

When Not to Use Flip Charts:

If you are uncomfortable or feel it will detract from the point.
When your room doesn’t have space to put up a flip chart.
If you have a clear structure that will be lost if you deviate by encouraging audience participation.

#3- Wall Boards

Prepared and well-printed wallboards can add great visuals to any presentation. They can be turned to reveal information at the right time or be on show when people arrive to get their brains working in advance.

When to Use Wall Boards:

If you have well-thought-out information or images that add sustained value (as they will be visible throughout the presentation).
When you want those big visual aids to get people in the right mindset to hear what you have to say.
If you want people to move around the room with you.
When you have no access to PowerPoint facilities but want a visual aid.

When Not to Use Wall Boards:

If you have no space or aren’t allowed to attach anything to the walls (check this with the room provider).
When you feel they might distract the audience as you develop further points away from the content.

#4- Instant Audience Interaction

Using different software can help you get real-time voting, and gain instant feedback on a topic or point raised. Moreover, using real-time quiz activities can help engage your audience further. The following two examples are currently very popular:

Mentimeter gives the audience a code. They can put it into the app and then vote in real time as you present and ask questions. This can be useful to then analyse the data and see what engaged the audience most.

Kahoot! is an interactive quiz. Again, users can put a code into the app and answer multiple-choice questions. This can help you gauge their level of understanding of the topic.

If used correctly these tools can add a lot of value, but you have to make sure the questions are very relative to the topic.

#5- Go it Alone

A lot of people feel the need to have something to support them. Consider the impact of having nothing. Are you able to pull off not having visual aids? Will you make the right impression and get your point across to your audience? If not, then choose one of the options above. But if yes then give it ago!

When to Go It Alone:

If you have the confidence and tone projection to engage your audience without visual aids.
When the presentation is short and not very detailed.
If your room gives you no other option.

When Not to Go It Alone:

If you need visuals to help the audience understand.
When your presentation is long and very detailed.

You now have your content and visual aids. Now it’s important to practice. Try to use all your skills to make the delivery of your presentation match the effort you have put into creating it.

7) What Makes an Effective Presentation?

#1- useful skills.

Understanding your audience is the key to delivering a successful presentation. You will need to ensure that you have effective skills for giving good presentations. With this in mind, it is a good idea for a presenter to understand different types of people and how their brains work. Understanding theories like Myers Briggs ( MBTI ) or Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument ( HBDI ) can greatly help a presenter shape the delivery to meet all types of people and provide maximum influence.

Myers Briggs (MBTI)

In simple terms, this type of indicator looks at four elements; energy, information, decisions, and living. By placing people on each scale you can start to understand their psychological type. Once you understand your own type, and that of those in the audience, you can start to adapt your communication and approach to get the best out of conversations.

Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument

HBDI is a psychometric tool that places people into four different areas based on how they think. Here is a breakdown of the four areas:

A – Blue quadrant: Logical, technical, and financial. In a single word ‘Fact’, or as a profession – Engineer.
B – Green quadrant: Organised, detailed, and structured. In a single word ‘Form’, or as a profession – Project Manager.
C – Red quadrant: Emotional, sensory, and people. In a single word ‘Feeling’, or as a profession – Teacher/Nurse.
D – Yellow quadrant: Risk-taker, intuitive, and the big picture. In a single word ‘Future’, or as a profession – Entrepreneur.

Brain coloured in four parts to show HBDI model and labeled logical, playful, organiser, and expressive

As a speaker, it is important to understand how people might react to the way you talk about different topics. If you heavily favour one of these styles, it may come across in your presentation. Moreover, it could cause friction with the audience without you meaning to.

For more detail, read our article on applying HBDI to presentations .

#2- Useful Techniques

Throughout this article, the skills in presenting covered have been about content, design, the type of medium to use, and how to use it. Now comes the most important part, the actual delivery of your presentation. These are the things you need to be practising over and over. Try to watch out for them in your recordings. Mastering these techniques will make you look comfortable, and ensure you deliver an effective presentation.

1. Friendly Faces

Most presenters will pick one friendly face in the room and talk to that person. This can help at first to calm your nerves. However, for that person, it can become awkward. Furthermore, the rest of the audience might feel left out. Make sure you start with a friendly face, but then give everyone eye contact as you look around.

Read our article on how to calm nerves before a presentation for more detail.

2. Eye Contact

If you struggle to make eye contact, the easiest tip is to divide the room into thirds (left, middle, and right or front, middle, and back). Then move your head to look at each third one after another. When practising, get into the habit of engaging one of the three areas with your eyes as you move to each new section or slide. This creates an easy flow that your body gets used to. If eye contact makes you really uncomfortable, you can look at people’s noses instead, they won’t be able to tell the difference, but it may put you more at ease.

3. Tone of Voice

It is really important that you engage the audience with your voice. Deep breathing before you start can help steady your voice. Also using pauses can help build anticipation in the audience.

4. Body Language

Everyone wants a silver bullet here and honestly, there isn’t one. You need to move with a purpose (to point at something or change your focus). You need to record yourself and understand what you do with your arms and legs. If you know you fiddle, make sure you have nothing around to pick up. Make sure you don’t have coins in your pocket.

If you can focus on moving for a reason and using your hands to emphasise your words then you are on to a winning formula. Always remember that doing anything that might be a distraction once or twice is fine. It is only once it becomes repetitive that people will become distracted by it.

Listening to someone speaking too fast is not a pleasant experience for your audience. They will feel rushed and uncomfortable. Practising your speech beforehand can help you pace yourself. Being nervous naturally makes us talk faster. We want to get it over as quickly as possible! When you practice your speech, think about the section you are on at set times. Try to know where you should be in your presentation on the day.

8) How to Improve Presentation Skills

Presentation training should cover the main areas of a presentation in enough detail and give you time to practice those skills.

Content Creation:

How to create a storyboard plan.
What questions to ask to check content understanding in the audience.
How to include a story.
How to grab the audience’s attention.

Medium Creation:

Understanding how to create a PowerPoint, Flip charts, Wallboards, etc.
Time to practice these skills with relevant software or materials.
Time to practice. It should be recorded. Watch it back gain feedback and then practice again.

Most good presentation skills courses will run over two separate days with a break in the middle. This allows you the time to create a final presentation to bring back to the group and gain further feedback on your skills. Without doing this you might not have embedded the skills, therefore, this second day is vital to help make the learning stick.

A good course is also likely to ask you to arrive with a presentation prepared on the first day. This is to set a benchmark of the starting point and for the trainer to understand how to alter the day for the delegates in the room.

9) The Top Five Tips for Presenting:

Finally, let us look at the list of the top 5 presentation skills tips to take away for your journey to better presentations:

Know your audience.
Structure your presentation so that it flows well.
Choose the best medium to deliver the best result.
Breathe and use your pausing effectively.
Practice makes perfect – practice at least 10 times but more if you are able.

Final Thoughts

Thinking back to my early days of having to talk in front of my class in school, I was terrified. I was very bad at making eye contact or projecting my voice loud enough to be heard. So when I moved into business and needed to get better at this, I chose the sink-or-swim approach. I took an opportunity to train a group of 9 people over a 5-week period, which was part of the job that I did at the time. For the whole of the first week, I was red in the face, very nervous, and uncomfortable.

But as I practised the skillset day in and day out, it got easier and easier. Now, I own a training business and deliver to large and small groups of people within all levels of organisations. Like any skill set, you need to practice to make it work.

This Skill Will Change Your Life – It Has Mine

Skills for giving effective presentations are so important for helping us move through life, gaining the best opportunity, and showing the best of ourselves. Even if you don’t regularly need to talk in front of groups, it is a skill that will help in many aspects of your work and personal life.

From feeling more confident to be ready to say ‘yes’ when the opportunity presents itself, these skills will help you grow. Knowing how to give a good presentation and having good communication skills should be life skills everyone develops. In the wise words of Richard Branson:

If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity but you are not sure you can do it, say yes – then learn how to do it later!”

You need to be ready to have the conversation and put yourself forward.

What It Takes to Give a Great Presentation

Carmine Gallo

Five tips to set yourself apart.

Never underestimate the power of great communication. It can help you land the job of your dreams, attract investors to back your idea, or elevate your stature within your organization. But while there are plenty of good speakers in the world, you can set yourself apart out by being the person who can deliver something great over and over. Here are a few tips for business professionals who want to move from being good speakers to great ones: be concise (the fewer words, the better); never use bullet points (photos and images paired together are more memorable); don’t underestimate the power of your voice (raise and lower it for emphasis); give your audience something extra (unexpected moments will grab their attention); rehearse (the best speakers are the best because they practice — a lot).

I was sitting across the table from a Silicon Valley CEO who had pioneered a technology that touches many of our lives — the flash memory that stores data on smartphones, digital cameras, and computers. He was a frequent guest on CNBC and had been delivering business presentations for at least 20 years before we met. And yet, the CEO wanted to sharpen his public speaking skills.

Presentation Skills

Presenting information clearly and effectively is a key skill in getting your message across. Today, presentation skills are required in almost every field, and most of us are required to give presentations on occasions. While some people take this in their stride, others find it much more challenging.

It is, however, possible to improve your presentation skills with a bit of work. This section of SkillsYouNeed is designed to help.

Many people feel terrified when asked to talk in public, especially to bigger groups. However, these fears can be reduced by good preparation, which will also lay the groundwork for making an effective presentation.

There are Different Types of Presentations, but They’re All Presentations

There are any number of occasions when you may be asked to speak in public or to a group of people. They include:

Presenting or making a speech at a conference or event.
Objecting to a planning proposal at a council meeting.
Making a speech at a wedding.
Proposing a vote of thanks to someone at a club or society.
On behalf of a team, saying goodbye and presenting a gift to a colleague who is leaving.
Seeking investment or a loan to help you set up a new business.

These can all be considered presentations.

They do not, however, all require the same approach. You would not, for example, use PowerPoint to thank a colleague who was leaving. It would be unusual (though it has been done) to use it in a speech at a wedding. However, a conference audience would be somewhat surprised NOT to see slides projected onto a screen.

It follows, therefore, that there is no single set of rules that apply to all presentations. There are, however, some things that every presentation opportunity has in common. These include:

You will present better if you have prepared effectively . This does NOT necessarily mean that you have written out your speech verbatim and rehearsed it until you know it off by heart—although that might work for some people. It does, however, mean that you have to be confident that you are saying the right thing, in the right way, to the right people.

You need to be clear about your audience and your message . Every presentation will be better if you have clearly considered the message that you want or need to convey, and how best to convey it to your audience. These two pieces of information drive your style, structure, content, and use of visual aids.

You must never overrun your allocated time . In other words, don’t outstay your welcome. Almost every speech or presentation is better if it is shorter. Nobody minds going for coffee early or finishing before they expected to do so. Everybody minds being held up.

Generally speaking, your audience starts on your side. As a rule, your audience is there (more or less) voluntarily. They have chosen to listen to you, and they want to enjoy your presentation. The occasion is yours to lose.

An Important Point

There is one very important point to remember: if what you’re doing or saying is not working, do something else.

One of the worst feelings as a presenter is that you have lost your audience. You know that’s happened, but you continue to stumble through your remaining PowerPoint slides for the next 15 minutes, as your audience checks their phones and wishes it was coffee time. You think you have no choice, but that’s not actually true.

When you present, you are in charge of the room . The audience has effectively handed you control and is sitting back waiting for you to do something. You may have prepared a specific talk, but if you see that isn’t working, you can always change it. You are, after all, the expert.

You can, for example:

Skip through some slides to a section that they may find more interesting;
Ask your audience whether there is particular information that they were expecting that you are not providing;
Suggest that everyone looks a bit sleepy, and maybe it would be better to start questions early, or have a discussion; or
Ask the audience at the start of the presentation what they are expecting and what they want you to cover. That way, you can tailor the presentation to fit their expectations.

Just as when you are facilitating, you want to help your audience get the most out of your presentation. The best way to do that is to accept feedback—which may include smiles, nods of interest, or people getting their phones out.

Quick Guide to Effective Presentations

If you need to improve your presentation skills quickly, then a really good place to start is with our Top Tips for Effective Presentations .

This will give you some ‘quick wins’ that will help you improve your presentations. If you’re already an experienced presenter, this page should be a useful refresher, or even take your skills from good to great.

Our tips include general ideas about connecting with your audience, information about the importance of voice and body language, and detailed tips about preparing slide-shows.

The most important tip of all, however, is to remember that it's all about your audience.

Keep that in mind, and your presentation skills will almost instantly improve.

If you have more time to develop your presentation skills…

…then the Presentation Skills section of SkillsYouNeed is designed to help.

Our Presentation Skills section is split into two parts.

The first gives you a step-by-step guide to putting together and delivering a professional and effective presentation .
The second provides more detailed information about presenting and communicating in particular circumstances .

You can either use our step-by-step guide to walk you through the presentation preparation and delivery process, or you can focus on particular areas that are an issue for you.

Preparing for Your Presentation

The guide starts by explaining What is a Presentation?

We define a presentation as a means of communication that can be adapted to various speaking situations, such as talking to a group, addressing a meeting or briefing a team. Effective presentations usually require careful thought and preparation—although this preparation need not take very long.

Preparation is the most important part of making a successful presentation. Our page on Preparing For A Presentation explains what information you need before you can really start to plan your presentation and decide what you are going to say. The most important aspects include the objective of the presentation, the subject, and the audience.

Irrespective of whether the occasion is formal or informal, you should always aim to give a clear, well-structured delivery. To do so, you need to organise your presentation material . You can either do this in your head, or use a technique like mind-mapping to help you identify links and good flow.

By the time you come to write your presentation , you should know exactly what you want to say and the order in which you want to say it. You may want to use one of the standard presentation structures, such as ‘What, Why, How?’. You will also find it helpful to consider how to tell your story most effectively, and to use stories in your presentation to illustrate points. There is more about this in our page on writing your presentation .

You also need to decide on your presentation method . Presentations range from the formal to the informal. Your choice of presentation method will depend on many factors, including the audience, the venue, the facilities, and your own preferences.

Visual aids can add another dimension to your presentation, helping to hold your audience’s attention, and also act as a reminder of what you wanted to say. However, they need handling with care. Only use visual aids if they are necessary to maintain interest and assist comprehension . If visual aids are not used well, they can ruin a presentation.

See Working with Visual Aids to avoid falling into the trap of the dreaded ‘ Death by PowerPoint’ .

A particular case of visual aids is the use of data in a presentation.

There are times when using data in a presentation can really help you to tell the story better. It is, however, important not to blind your audience with statistics. You also need to remember that many people find numbers difficult to understand. Our page on Presenting Data gives some hints and tips about using data effectively in a presentation situation.

On the Day of the Presentation

There are a number of aspects to delivering your presentation on the day.

The practicalities of how you manage your presentation can make a significant difference to its success, and to your nerves! For example, turning up early means that you have will have a chance to see the room, and ensure that you can operate all the necessary equipment. There is more about how to cope, including managing sound systems, audio-visual equipment and lecterns in our page on Managing the Presentation Event .

Many people also feel very nervous before and during a presentation. This is entirely normal, and can even be helpful if you can channel it in the right way. There are some tried and tested strategies and techniques to manage your nerves so that you can concentrate on delivering an effective and engaging presentation.

See Coping with Presentation Nerves for some ideas that will help.

How you present yourself can also affect how your audience responds to your presentation.

You need to fit with your audience's expectations if they are not going to spend quite a large chunk of your presentation dealing with the differences between expectations and reality.

For more about aspects of self-presentation, see our page on Self-Presentation in Presentations .

You also need to consider how to manage your presentation notes .

Few people are able to give a presentation without notes. You will need to know your own abilities and decide how best to make the presentation. You might manage your talk by using full text, notes on cue cards, keywords on cue cards, or mind maps. There is more about this in our page on Managing your Presentation Notes .

After the presentation, you may be faced with a question-and-answer session. For many people, this is the worst part of the event.

Decide in advance how and when you wish to handle questions. Some speakers prefer questions to be raised as they arise during the presentation whilst others prefer to deal with questions at the end. At the start of your presentation, you should make clear your preferences to the audience. See our page on Dealing with Questions for more ideas about how to make the question session pleasant and productive, rather than something to dread.

Presenting Under Particular Circumstances

You may find that you need to give a presentation under certain circumstances, where your previous experience is less helpful.

Circumstances that may be new to you include:

Giving a Speech , for example, at a wedding.

One particular special case is attending public consultation meetings.

Our pages on Attending Public Consultation Meetings , and Managing Public Consultation Meetings provide information to help whether you are a concerned member of the public, or responsible for organising a public meeting.

You may also find yourself required to organise or manage a press conference.

Although this may not strictly be what you would describe as a ‘presentation’, it is nonetheless an event at which you are required to present your organisation in a particular light.

Our page on Managing a Press Conference gives some ideas about how best to do that.

Finally, should you be unlucky enough to be involved in a serious crisis or disaster that affects your organisation, our page on Crisis Communications gives some ideas about how to manage press and public relations on these occasions.

5p’s of voice training & presentation skills.

Voice is a powerful tool for presenters. Voice can make all the difference between success and failure when you’re aiming to engage your audience. In sales meetings, company updates or technical meetings, it is critical to keep your audience involved and interested in your remarks. Learn how to stretch your presentation skills by utilizing the 5 P’s of Voice Control including Pitch, Pace, Pause, Projection & Personality. Pitch Pitch refers to the ups and downs of your notes when you speak. We all have the ability to speak from a vocal range – which includes higher notes and lower notes. However, it takes great awareness and practice to notice your own pitch and to change it consciously. Why is pitch important? A monotone voice bores the audience and a bored audience is less likely to recall your key points or to take action. To play around with pitch try thinking of popular characters who have voices at either end of the vocal range then practice speaking (or singing!) like them. For example you might think of Michael Jackson’s high pitched voice and then compare it with Barry White’s deeper tones. You can also simulate the voices of movie actors to start expanding your own range. Over time your awareness and practice with pitch will enable you to vary your voice as you speak – all in the aim of drawing your audience into your remarks. Now that we’ve looked at Pitch, let’s move on to Pace. Or, if you want additional information on how to hone your presentation skills visit our website to get a free copy of our report on how to Master Your Presentation Skills at https://boldnewdirections.com or at http://www.presentationtraininginstitute.com Pace Pace refers to the speed at which you speak. Just as monotone is boring so is mono-pace. A good speaker knows the value of changing the pace as they speak. For example, when you are introducing a topic that is exciting you can speed up the pace of your voice. On the other hand, when you want people to focus their attention you may slow down for emphasis. The overall point is that variation is the key to success in presentation skills. So play around with your pace next time you speak to see the impact on your audience. Now that we have explored Pace we will move on to look at Pause. Pause Pause involves stopping momentarily for effect in the middle of your remarks. It is a tool that is used hand in hand with variation of Pace. A pause is best used before or after a significant point as a tool for emphasis. Pause is also a tremendous tool for nervous speakers who tend to speak too fast. By stopping at key points, the speaker allows the audience time to process key points before moving on to new material. One easy trick is to underline key points in your notes and then place the word PAUSE in large letters to remind you to stop speaking for a few seconds. Actively playing with pause will have a profound effect on your presentation skills and presentation prowess. Now that we have covered Pause let’s move on to the powerful tool of Projection. Or, if you want additional information on how to hone your presentation skills visit our website to get a free copy of our report on how to Master Your Presentation Skills at https://boldnewdirections.com or at http://www.presentationtraininginstitute.com Projection This aspect of voice is by far the most important as it correlates to your audience’s ability to hear your remarks. Even the most intelligent presenter can not have their desired impact if the people in the room can not hear their key points. With projection, everyone can hear your comments without having to strain their voice. However, there is still value in varying your projection to add intrigue and interest to your comments. For example, you might want to soften your voice to emphasize a key point and then later increase the volume for another point. In either case you must ensure that all members of the audience can hear each and every point. Practice projecting your voice by imagining that everyone is sitting against the far wall in the room. Ensure they can hear you and that you are speaking from your diaphragm. Now that we have discussed Projection let’s take a look at Personality. Personality Personality refers to the color, warmth and meaning that comes from hearing your voice. The personality of your voice will dictate if people are “turned on” or “turned off” when listening to you. Certainly adjusting the pitch and volume will help the quality of your voice. Adding emotion will give your voice color and warmth. So too will a smile which softens and warms up the vocal tones that people hear. Personality can vary from passionate, to bored, to serious, to light. What personality are you going for when you speak on a given topic? Give it some thought and choose a word that captures the tone you want your voice to convey. Write that word at the top of your notes so that you consciously strive to embue your voice with the personality that will help you make the most impact. Using the 5Ps of Vocal Control Boosts Presentation Skills When you’re just starting out you may want to focus on one P at a time then add in more until you are able to stretch your voice to reveal all 5 P’s in a given presentation. By playing around with each aspect of vocal control you can imbue your voice with interest, warmth, and personality! Utilize each of the P’s, including Pitch, Pace, Pause, Projection & Personality to actively engage your audience and keep them wanting more.

The 5Ps of Presentation

Presentations can be overwhelming – there is a lot to consider including the training room rental , illustrations, and audience. But beyond flipping through a fancy PowerPoint inserted with facts and figures should be a marvelous overall presentation.

Effective presenters are engaging and exciting, building a deep connection to the listeners.

To know more about that, let us go through each stage for a successful presentation.

Planning Planning is one of the important factors in presentation. Be sure to cover the schedule, the number of participants, objectives, topics, amount of time required per topic, time of practice and delivery, materials needed, where to rent seminar room , etc. Without any plans, you have nowhere to go.

Preparation In order to have a successful presentation, you have to prepare. Preparation includes knowing your audience and how to effectively interact with them. Answering questions like “Who are my audiences?”, “What interests them?” and “What do they want to learn in the presentation?” will guide you to an exciting and engaging conversation.

Find a strategy that will help them retain the matters of discussion. Use visual aids, striking statements, and group activities.

Practice Regardless of how colorful the graphics in your slideshows are and how complete the data are, if you don’t practice, everything may fall flat. Practicing is more than reading out the script a number of times. It should be focused and structured.

So, before facing your audience, make sure you rehearse your voice, hand gestures, posture, facial expression, body movement, and timing. Practice in front of a mirror or a camera, at home, in the office, alone, or with friends. Get feedback from your peers, officemates, or mentors, then work on the areas that need improvement.

Performance Presentation is not just about clicking for the next slide and recitation. It’s about establishing and maintaining a connection with the audience and responding to issues and ideas. All you have practiced will be actualized – eye contact, face and body projection, etc. Aside from mastery of the topic, voice plays a major role at this point.

Power – This is about the volume of your voice. You don’t have to shout to be heard. Low volume may distract your audience and get bored.
Pace and Pitch – Proper pacing in enunciating words can help emphasize key points, build drama, and create excitement. Pitch and tone define the emotional mood of the presentation. Controlling it would prevent you from sounding dull and monotonous. Faster pace and higher pitch express excitement and slower pace and lower pitch express seriousness.
Pause – Pause gives your audience the time to process, understand, and absorb your message.
Pronunciation – Be careful with your pronunciation if you’d like to convey your message clearly. One mispronounced word could mean a different word.

Passion Genuine passion propels you to become effective in what you do; in this case, your presentation. It drives you to exert the best effort from planning up to the presentation.

The 5Ps of presentation – planning, preparation, practice, performance, and passion – are a guide for a successful presentation. Try to apply this to your next presentation and see how things have improved from the previous.
