Synopsis

If you have to give presentations, whether in business or in personal situations, this book will equip you to deal with all scenarios and get the best buy-in from your audience.

Traditionally, presentations have been made with the presenter in the same physical location as the audience. However, the global Covid Pandemic which emerged in 2020 meant a dramatic acceleration in the move to virtual presentations.

Although the medium might be different, the same skills and techniques should be used to facilitate interactive conversations and discussions, to connect with the audience and to convey your message. These rules apply whether delivering a presentation, conducting a training course or chairing and moderating a meeting.

It’s imperative to keep your audience’s attention, to engage with them, while informing and inspiring them, so both you and they enjoy the experience.

This book covers both face-to-face and virtual presentation skills and will address areas such as:

• How to prepare and construct a presentation
• How to create visual supports to enhance the message
• How to control mannerisms and nerves
• How to speak with clarity, volume and pace
• How to build a connection with the audience
• How to involve the audience through asking and answering questions
• How to deliver a virtual presentation in an engaging and interactive manner
• How to use the camera and other tools
• Hints and tips in terms of dealing with technical issues

This book covers all these essential areas, plus some relatively new developments in the field of presentation skills, so you’re fully equipped to succeed in all scenarios.
