Present confidently: How to reach your audience [9 times checklist]
// By Simone Janson
This is how you turn uncertainties and knowledge gaps into strengths
Do not be scared
What do you want to say?
Sovereign occur thanks to expertise
What kind of occasion does your presentation have?
- Informationā¦
- do you want to support others
- or convince?
- inform others - then your presentation should focus factually and neutrally on facts
- to draw attention to yourself and your ideas - then your presentation should be convincing
- To promote support - then your presentation should be emotional
- motivating or supporting others - then your presentation requires psychological empathy
- Entertain your audience - then your presentation should be easy and funny
Checklist: Clothes make people
- Choose your wardrobe with the utmost care - listeners will notice stains, tears and wrinkles one hundred percent. Pay special attention to places that you think you can not really see - such as your shoes and socks.
- Stick to the motto: "Tell me what you are wearing and I will tell you who you are". Choose your style consciously according to the occasion, but in such a way that the clothing also underlines your personality. Because you put the audience in this drawer.
- Pay attention to the occasion according to color: Dark, saturated colors signal rather authority / seriousness, bright colors have a dominant effect. But especially with tall people, they are sometimes too dominant and intimidating.
- Create a contrast between light and dark colors. The higher the contrast, the more competent you will be.
- Pay attention to quality: High-quality fabrics always look nobler, more successful and more competent than cheap ones. And who looks like that, you also trust something accordingly.
- Avoid anything that might distract you: Clinking Bangles, Excessive Jewelery, Silver and Gold Mixed Jewelry, Fat Watches, Rustling Fabrics, Flashy Patterns, Exuberant Outfits, Patterned Stockings, Flashy Shoes, Strong Perfumes. If special accessories are part of your personality, use them sparingly as a personal touch.
- Underline your face, which is in the foreground of the presentation, with a chic hairstyle, a beautiful, not too flashy glasses and - in women - discreet make-up.
- In general, bewitch your audience with facts, not with a flashy but inappropriate outfit.
Even if things are different ...
Checklist: Stay always confident in presentations
- Which listeners do I have to deal with? Is the composition heterogeneous or homogeneous?
- What interest do the listeners have in the lecture?
- What expertise do the listeners have?
- Which language will you most understand?
- At which level do I meet the audience (eg human-sympathetic or objective)?
- What reactions do I expect or expect from the audience?
Negative beliefs
Do not be scared!
Make them positive beliefs
This is how you deal with fears and stage fright
- Before you start, look for a quiet space where you can meditate for a few minutes or at least relax. Use also breathing and vocal exercises.
- If you are shaking: Stand up straight and press your palms together in front of your chest as if you wanted to swim. With this you dissipate the internal tremor, influence the adrenaline release and strengthen the speech muscles in the chest and neck.
- With autosuggestion you can replace your negative beliefs with positive ones: āI am well preparedā, āI will be goodā, āI look forward to my listenersā. Repeat these forms for a few minutes until you believe it yourself.
- Alcohol, valerian or other tranquillizers can help, but also be cumbersome, because at the same time you also lose your ability to react. Plus, you never know for sure how medications work on you. And there is a danger of addiction.
- Do not look at the audience as threatening, black masses, but as people who want to reach you. Make eye contact with those who seem well-disposed to you: for these people, you are holding your presentation.
- Basically: Find a quiet place to relax in advance and try to get down.
Checklist: The best preparation
- Start the preparation in good time so that you do not run out of time.
- Read the tips above to prepare for a meeting, to research information and to build up the reasoning above, and also to heed this for the preparation of your presentation.
- If you are well versed in the topic, write meaningful keywords on index cards - these will ensure that you do not forget anything. Or make a note of the most important headlines on a headline sheet to keep track.
- If you are unfamiliar with the topic: Write the full text of the presentation. Then read it so often that looking at the beginning of the sentence is enough to keep the subject in mind. Avoid reading from the script.
- Pay attention to emphasis and pauses in the right places: So you can achieve good effects. Read voice exercises.
- Arrange your documents, then is also order in your head. Do not just quote quotations, but write them verbatim in your redeman's script or on the cards - so you avoid hectic swearing on the table.
- Practice your speech four times. Record yourself in sound (for example, on a computer or with a cassette recorder) or picture (with a digital or video camera) yourself. Let constructive feedback from well-meaning but critical friends.
- Memorize the first four minutes of your presentation: then you will have time to calm down during the lecture.
- Which media do you want to use? Beamer, Overhead, Video, Flipchart? Plan the use of media directly when writing. Then familiarize yourself with the presentation technology on site.
- Come on time, well rested, physically and mentally fit for the lecture. If you are ill, cancel the presentation better if possible. If that does not work, point out your poor condition at the beginning.
- A glass of wine is better not to prepare. Make sure you are sufficiently familiar with the presentation media.
