A Killer Presentation # 1

At the end of the semester most of you might have struggle to do oral presentations in front of your audience. The most unfavorable moment of giving the presentation would be not knowing the materials that you are presenting plus the Q&A (question and answer) session. The key learning points of giving a killer presentation are as follows:
  • know your materials very well- meaning you need to get a grasp of what you are presenting in front of your audience or what information that you will be presenting?
  • the focus is on you not the slides- if you are planning to do a "reading" presentation, forget it it will never work because the audience are expecting that you will explain to them but not read to them what was in the slides
  • practice! because it's a skill - if you are not confident of what will you be saying is accurate, practice your presentation beforehand.
Remember: You are a storyteller not a joker or in a reading competition.
