No more Boring presentations Sharon Davidson – 07932 641313
Four biggest presentation mistakes • Not thinking about audience reaction FIRST. What style, stories, and content best achieves desired reactions? Do you want to inspire, persuade, challenge or enlighten? • Communicating without intention • Not preparing delivery • Not bringing your smile and personality to the delivery
Intention and Objective • How to learn “intention” • Repeat “Can I see you in my office? With 5 different intentions • Sooth/ridicule/frighten/demand/patronise • Intention and objective informs all aspects of a persons physical and vocal delivery. It explains the purpose of your communication perfectly
Audience Attention – The Pin Drop • I want to (intention) my audience so that my audience will (objective) • Begin with the end in mind. Communication will then centre on how you want your audience to feel and what you want your audience to do
Pin Drop Examples • I want to commend my staff …… so they feel appreciated and validated • I want to motivate my daughter so she applies herself and studies harder • I want to persuade this homemaker about the superiority of this vacuum cleaner so she places an order for purchase
Reflection • The best presenters are who? • Why? What do they do?
