An oral presentation can be a difficult moment. Stage fright or shyness, different emotions can make the exercise insurmountable or the presentation confusing. Here are 7 tips to help you succeed!
1. Preparing the day before
Eat light, get a good night's sleep, limit stimulants and look forward to a successful presentation.
2. Take a little more time on the morning of the presentation
A relaxing shower, the stress of rushing, a checklist... so many details that play a role in anticipating certain hazards or setbacks.
3. Take time just before the presentation
Get your bearings, set up your equipment, run your slideshow one last time, take a breath...
4. A smooth start
With a smile and as relaxed as possible! Dare to be self-deprecating to lighten the mood (or yourself).
5. Paying attention to your verbal communication
Position your voice, speak slowly, breathe, make your speech come alive!
6. Monitor your non-verbal communication
In other words, your posture and body language, as these convey your emotions. Talk with your hands and pay attention to your eyes!
7. Concluding your presentation
Refine, write down and keep your conclusion close to you in case of a memory lapse. Finally, thank your audience.
