Tips
- If you are using audience participation keep it simple and short or you might lose the audience. If you are talking about a product bring it in. If you are talking about a process bring in pictures of the process. If you want to ask them their standing on the issues keep the questions few, simple, and directed.
- If you choose PowerPoint as your visual keep the slide color and text colors easy to read, no more than four points per slide, and only one line of text per point. Remember PowerPoint is supposed to cue you as to what you want to talk on next; not be the presentation itself after all if they want to read it they could have instead the audience wants to hear you.
- Make the appearance of eye contact. Look at their foreheads. or noses.
- Remember we all at some point in our lives have done public speaking, we all know how it feels, so try to calm down and don't stress. They are there to hear you speak on the topic
- Smile
- Be yourself.
Warnings
- Make note cards if you need but if you find yourself staring at them and not the audience then use PowerPoint as you want to recognize the audience's existence.
- Communication is of the utmost importance in a group presentation if someone is doing something that bothers you let them know but be polite about it. After all you might have to work with this person in the future. But don't let it fester or it will ruin your experience as well.
