How To Create A Great Informative And Entertaining Presentation

Whether putting together a presentation for the church, school or business, coming up with something entertaining and at the same time informative can pose some major challenges. However, it is worth putting your best leg forward knowing the benefits that this kind of a presentation could bring. It is worth noting that such a success is within reach and you can do it by following a few tips outlined below.

 Point # 1: Be Interesting
 
Although the presentation is important to you, you should prepare with the jury in mind. Your presentation should therefore be interesting and thus able to capture their attention. You should embrace some ideas which should be communicated strongly and in such a manner that the presentation would not be boring. Additionally, it will be important for you to have a clear understanding on the project at hand, as this is the only way that you will be able to present something remarkable. 

Point # 2: Understand Your Audience

Although the presentation might not excite the entire world, it is important for you to understand the unique expectations of your jury of selection committee. This is a term for you to know some things about your judges as well as their understanding of design, education level and on the whole knowledge of the project at hand. This will help you to know what kind of language to use thus avoiding some jargon that will only leave the audience confused rather than informed and entertained.

 Point # 3: Commit To Memory Instead Of Reading

During your presentation, the most important thing is for you to keep your audience alert and to make an impression on them. Reading from your 3x5 card will only make you unconvincing and insincere to some extent. However, something well rehearsed looks sincere and sounds highly convincing to the audience thus giving some credibility to your presentation. Through your presentation use your own words and gestures, try to “be yourself”. This does not mean that every word must be memorized but rather the key points which you can elaborate concisely and powerfully. 

Point # 4: Be Selective

Selecting right presentation topic is so important. When you will chose topic try to narrow yourself down to what you know you can be useful. This will help to avoid a waste of resources while at the same time enhancing your bottom line. Being selective is also important as it works greatly in boosting the moral of your team.

Point # 5: Direct Your Presentation To Your Audience

During the presentation, it is important for you to keep the audience as your main focus. Unfortunately, many people normally seem to be directing their presentation to the screens and boards and this shuns the audience making them look unnecessary. Even when pointing at something on the screen, it is always important to do so with your face towards the audience and this can be done by using the nearest hand to point on the board or screen. A face to face approach demonstrates some level of confidence and could work well in winning the audience to your side.

People giving great and entertaining presentations normally know how to turn their mistakes into platforms without giving themselves away. Build confidence and if possible enroll in a public speaking class as this will help you approach this kind of a venture with boldness and excellence.
