How Do You Give The Best Oral Presentations?
Sometimes as the leader of a team, club or organization, or even at a business networking event, you will be required to make an oral presentation. If just the thought of that makes you squirm, here are some things to focus on that will help to take some of the pressure away. Be sure to dress both appropriately for the group you are addressing and your own comfort. That doesn’t mean you can wear sweats for a business presentation, but it does mean you can opt for a business casual look if that suits you better than a jacket and tie. Most importantly, be neat and together looking. The group you are speaking to will take their cues from you so be aware of your body language and attitude. If the group gets the impression you don’t want to be there, neither will they. If you can convey interest and enthusiasm, everyone will enjoy the presentation. Even if you’re nervous, remind yourself to sound confident. Speak clearly in a volume that is comfortable for you and audible to the group. Prep
