Fundamental presentation skills

There is a final preparation is coming soon in next week, I think most of us will feel nerves of it.
For this reason, this week, I'm going to talk about the fundamental presentation skills.

  • Positive energy
    The reason why you feel nerves is because you are not prepared or you are a shy person and afraid to speak out loud. Although nervous energy is good for your perform because you will put more attention on your speech, it is also important to get some positive energy to balance. Try to get prepared before you are going to have a speech. When you are feeling nerves, try to put more attention on the speech than the audiences.

  • Body language
    As we all know, body language is an important nonverbal language that can help us to express our ideas. There are different body movement and body language which can give a good influence to the audiences.


-        Being interesting

It is really boring for people listening a hour long speech. It will make the audiences feel bored and tried. For this reason, we may learn from the “ Toast Masters” to have some interesting joke during the presentation.
