Superior Presentation Skills

Making a presentation requires more than just getting up in front of a group and telling them what you want them to know. A truly effective presentation requires the speaker to really connect with members of the audience. It must be persuasive and engaging, as well as informative.

What Makes a Superior Presentation?

Great presenters convey confidence. They have clearly mastered the topic they’re speaking about, and are fluent in the vocabulary, concepts, and ideas related to the subject.

Superior presenters demonstrate their in-depth preparation of the material. The organizational structure of the content and delivery method and style reflects their thoughtful consideration of how it will play to the audience.

A successful presentation requires a specialized set of skills and abilities.

  • Tone: Does the team know when to be formal or informal, depending on the topic or setting?
  • Posture: Standing up straight with a relaxed frame conveys confidence, instead of hunched shoulders or crossed arms, which may communicate anxiety or distance.
  • Speech: Effective speakers project their voices and speak clearly.
  • Speaking style: Pace matters – not too quickly but not too slowly, either; good presenters can also speed up or slow down a presentation as needed.
  • Body language: Appropriate eye contact is valuable, as is learning to gesture effectively to make a point or emphasize an idea or statement.
  • Design: Visual or auditory presentation of the information – like slides or video clips – is as important to clarity and understanding as the speaker’s delivery.
  • Technology: Are team members comfortable choosing and using technology to enhance presentations when appropriate?
