Creating and delivering compelling, engaging presentations are an important part of your career – make sure you do it right.

Obstacles to Effective Presentations

Nerves and anxiety are a normal part of the human experience, especially when it comes to public speaking and delivery. Everyone get nervous before speaking in front of a group of people, even if they’ve given hundreds of talks or presentations before: teachers, actors, celebrities, preachers, politicians, and business executives alike.

Disorganization and lack of focus in a presentation is another common culprit to delivering a compelling, winning presentation. The audience gets overloaded with too much information, you fail to really connect with them, and you end up with a presentation that doesn’t really pop, and is instead lackluster and ultimately forgettable.

These are common issues that everyone faces. But as the leader of your company, you can’t let your presentations be derailed by them. Your presentations need to grab your audience, every time.

What Can Be Done About It

Those nerves and butterflies you feel can actually be transformed into a positive energy for your presentation, if you have the right tactics to channel them.

When you stand at the front of a room, you have the exciting opportunity to deliver and convey important, game-changing information. You need to show up prepared and organized in your thoughts and presentation.

You must know what steps to take in order to hit on all the message points you want to convey. You need to be able to zoom in on the most important talking points, assess and determine the main point you want to convey, and develop the best flow for your audience. Your presentation must deliver an undeniable pop to keep your audience attentive and engaged.

To do this, one of the most important skills is to accurately analyze and assess your audience, both ahead of time and on the fly during the presentation. You must understand and anticipate how they will respond and react to your information points, so that you can customize your presentation to fit that particular audience. You need to know how to get your audience fired up and involved, not just sitting back, bored in their seats.

There are a lot of paths to choose from when you’re crafting a presentation for a group, whether it’s a team meeting or an industry-wide conference. The worst thing you can do is not choose a path at all; the second-worst thing you can do if you want to deliver a stellar presentation is to choose the wrong one.
