This is your year to make a name for yourself and your company in your space. So what have you committed to achieving in order to have the influence you crave? You’ve likely come up with a list of tasks you want to do and skills you want to gain. But have you been continuing to make strides? Or have you fallen into a rut? Here are 9 ways to stick to your presentation resolutions:
1. Break it Down
Categorize your material into sections – beginning with a preview and ending with a review.
2. Discover the Purpose
Why are you delivering this presentation? What message does your audience absolutely need to receive?
3. Establish Focus
Make sure any information you dispense, is information that your audience wants to hear.
4. Create a Plan
An outline provides the structure you need to devise a presentation with clarity and consistency.
5. Show Interest
Form an effective story.
6. Be a Leader
Establish yourself as a thought leader in your industry or field by giving webinars, distributing SlideShares, and producing video courses.
7. Request Feedback
80% of people would rather receive feedback in the moment than after the fact.
8. Update Your Slides
Some of the most recent design trends include modern retro style, modular layouts, negative space, and bright, bold colors.
9. Repurpose Content
Distill your information from presentation to social media, blog posts, email, and more.
