Last month I attended a workshop called Stand and Deliver. The speaker, Kirk Duncan, is the founder of Three Elements company. He gave instructions on how to give successful presentations. I want to share some of my notes I took. I feel they could be useful when either doing storytelling, or giving a presentation on writing or some other topic. After some of his comments. I will add some recommendations of my own.
– Don’t die without sharing the specific message that exists inside you
– Connecting with people involves eye contact.
– You want to present your full energy level during every presentation even when there were few or no one in the audience.
– Don’t be boring. Add deflections in your voice.
– Always deliver 100% in your presentations.
– Set rules for your audience.
A. Have a high level of respect.
B. Have your mind present.
C. manager communications devices , such as respect.
– When you use rules you move up a level
On a personal note, here are some ideas that I would like to add on what might make a better presentation.
– Provide some variety in your presentation, either with personal stories or humor.
– Relate the topic of your speech to something that everyone can relate to, such as may be a current event.
– Maybe connect the concept of your speech to something that can contain imagery that the ice might be old relate to. After the speech
– as you create the text of the speech, consider all possible interpretations to each comment you make.
– If you provide some fax in your presentation provides some references to help substantiate your authority.
– An animated speaker can often keep the audience that are engaged in what you have to say.
If you some additional ideas of what you feel would be useful for giving a presentation, please feel free to share them. Thank you.
