The best way to do that is to accept feedback-which may include smiles, nods of interest, or people getting their phones out. Just as when you are facilitating, you want to help your audience get the most out of your presentation. That way, you can tailor the presentation to fit their expectations.
The audience has effectively handed you control and is sitting back waiting for you to do something. When you present, you are in charge of the room. You think you have no choice, but that’s not actually true. You know that’s happened, but you continue to stumble through your remaining PowerPoint slides for the next 15 minutes, as your audience checks their phones and wishes it was coffee time. One of the worst feelings as a presenter is that you have lost your audience. There is one very important point to remember: if what you’re doing or saying is not working, do something else. They have chosen to listen to you, and they want to enjoy your presentation. As a rule, your audience is there (more or less) voluntarily. Generally speaking, your audience starts on your side. Nobody minds going for coffee early or finishing before they expected to do so. Almost every speech or presentation is better if it is shorter. In other words, don’t outstay your welcome. You must never overrun your allocated time. These two pieces of information drive your style, structure, content, and use of visual aids.
Every presentation will be better if you have clearly considered the message that you want or need to convey, and how best to convey it to your audience. You need to be clear about your audience and your message. It does, however, mean that you have to be confident that you are saying the right thing, in the right way, to the right people. This does NOT necessarily mean that you have written out your speech verbatim and rehearsed it until you know it off by heart-although that might work for some people. You will present better if you have prepared effectively. There are, however, some things that every presentation opportunity has in common. It follows, therefore, that there is no single set of rules that apply to all presentations. However, a conference audience would be somewhat surprised NOT to see slides projected onto a screen. It would be unusual (though it has been done) to use it in a speech at a wedding. You would not, for example, use PowerPoint to thank a colleague who was leaving. They do not, however, all require the same approach. These can all be considered presentations. Seeking investment or a loan to help you set up a new business.On behalf of a team, saying goodbye and presenting a gift to a colleague who is leaving.
