    When was the last time you had to give a speech or speak in public?

    How did you prepare


    yourself for this task? Was it in school? Sometimes all we do is merely write a synopsis or a
    summary of the subject, prepare a couple of PowerPoint slides and grab some notes that may
    help along the way. You may know some teachers who do the same! This is the common way to
    prepare a presentation and it is what most people expect, but it is not necessarily wrong. The
    problem, however, is that it can easily become boring and predictable, and it may not deliver the
    best results.
    What you want is not just an excellent performance, but also a memorable one. The main goal of
    a presentation is to deliver content that your audience can understand so that they can
    comprehend and remember as much of it as possible. Instead of a simple monologue, you
    should encourage dialogue throughout the presentation in order to raise valid questions and
    come up with good conclusions. This is why we call them effective presentations, because they
    actually work.
    We have to, of course, start somewhere and this is the right place to do it. Try to keep an open
    mind and remember there is not just one right way to create and deliver a presentation, but by
    taking certain steps into account you can achieve a truly effective presentation.

    Explanation:
    1.1 Introduction to Designing an Effective Presentation
    When you are delivering a presentation, you are not only putting your content and ideas on
    display, but your personality as well. You are performing for your audience and they will respond
    to several stimuli such as how you use your voice or how you move your hands or your head.
    That is why you need more than just good content to really make a good impression; you also
    need to make it flexible, energetic and stimulating. Some people may think they are not capable
    of delivering a dynamic and captivating presentation. They think they may be too shy or timid.
    While energy and enthusiasm may come naturally to some, others have to work hard at
    developing these skills. The point is, a great presentation requires preparation and practice.
    A very good first step in preparing your presentation is to picture yourself not as the presenter,
    but rather as a member of your audience, and ask yourself the following questions:

    Answering these questions is a great way to start your presentation off on the right foot.
    There are certain steps to be taken in becoming an effective presenter. Let’s review six of them
    and glean some insight into what it takes to be a great presenter:

    1. Practice
    It may seem really obvious, but it is of critical importance: “Practice makes you perfect,” as
    they say. Remember our question about confidence? Well, to inspire confidence and trust you
    must be truly familiarized with your subject. Don’t just read it; understand it. You cannot explain
    something to someone else unless you completely understand that something yourself.

    A good way to gain more confidence in your delivery is to practice in a


    room in front of an imaginary audience. The University of Leicester suggests: “Get used to
    hearing your own voice filling a room. Familiarize yourself with the words and phrases in your
    presentation. Play around with different volumes and see how well you can hear your own voice
    (Leicester University, 2013).” The next question is: do I read my presentation or do I memorize
    it? Well, each has its advantages and disadvantages.
    Reading your speaking notes may keep you in touch with your ideas but not with your audience.
    You also run the risk of speaking in a monotone voice and losing charisma. While it is always
    preferable to speak directly to your audience instead of constantly reading from note cards,
    Memorization can also have its downside. You may be distracted by different elements in the
    room such as a cell phone ringing or people chatting. While some notes will help you not to have
    to memorize your entire presentation, you want to be careful to not lose spontaneity and always
    do your best to sound confident.
    A good recommendation is to use index cards that you can easily skim or read at glance. Make
    one card for each topic and include some details. Include transitions from one card to another
    so that you cannot mix them up or read them out of order.
    2. Be Assertive
    You want to be well-spoken and confident when presenting and, at the same time, avoid an
    aggressive presence. Posture and presence are of the upmost importance. Be aware of how
    you are standing, your use of gestures and the mood you are establishing in your presentation.
    A good presenter is always measuring the audience and how they are responding to the
    presentation, taking special care to set the proper mood that is consistent with the topic. You
