Even the most experienced manager will benefit from some fresh ideas for giving their presentations more impact. For those presenting material for the first-time, it is vital that the basic skills of presentation are grasped. Making Effective Presentations is a practical guide for all managers on how to prepare, organise, deliver and evaluate all types of presentation.
One of six books in the 'Management Action Guides' series, Making Effective Presentations is written in a jargon-free and interactive style. Complete with practical action points and detailed checklists which encourage you to apply the techniques described to your own particular situation, the book guarantees that the right effect can be achieved if certain important factors are heeded, such as: adopting the correct attitude, matching the presentation to the audience, preparing in advance, opening and closing the presentation, and controlling body language.
The book also includes a useful appendix that will be of great value to any manager preparing to give a presentation. It describes various techniques for displaying statistical data and diagrams, including bar charts, line charts and maps and explains which situations they can be used in.
