Making Your Presentations Exciting

Making a presentation is an opportunity to get your message across and convince your audience that your idea is something that should be considered. Whether it's to educate them in a training situation or whether you are presenting an idea to your company, creating a presentation that is entertaining, engaging and memorable, need not fill you with fear. If you are passionate about what you do, believe in yourself, your idea or subject matter, you are half way there.
You can never be too prepared! Knowing your subject inside out will allow you to feel confident enough to get on with the job and when a member of the audience asks you a question, you will be equipped to answer successfully. Know your audience and why they have come to see you speak. This will help you construct your presentation precisely to keep them interested. Connecting with your audience is something you want to do as quickly as possible to maintain their interest. Keeping them engaged can be a difficult task so make your presentation exciting by using visual aids, not only will they help you interact with the audience, they will help prompt and guide you when nerves threaten to take over.
Using visuals is considered essential in a modern presentation and luckily we have the technology to hand that allows us to do so much more than the old fashioned overhead projector could ever do! By adding music, video, photos, graphs, charts or animation you will enhance your message and help your audience digest the subject matter. Using other materials can be very effective. Passing around a handout so that the audience have something to follow whilst you continue your presentation always works well. People make a deeper connection if they have something tangible in their hands. You could use flip charts to write ideas or comments and by using foamex or foamboards that can be bought from a graphic design supplier, you can add a display or produce mock up version of an advertising campaign or create a model of a new packaging idea.
Take time over your content. Any visual aid you want to add should be used to enhance and reinforce your presentation and not used as a filler to pad it out. Add content to challenge your audience, make them think and stretch their perceptions about a certain subject. How you get your message across should be carefully considered. Preaching at an audience will certainly make them switch off but presenting your topic in the most entertaining way possible, making them laugh, using interesting anecdotes perhaps, will win them over, keeping them attentive and amused.
