EFFECTIVE PRESENTATION.

Making a presentation is a very stressful activity for anybody to perform. Even people who give presentations for a living get nervous before performing, but they use that adrenaline into propelling them into giving a first class presentation. Look at public speakers or chat show hosts that you personally like, the one thing that they have in common is confidence and a knowledge of what they are talking about.

From my own perspective, I am a very mature student with no computer experience, so when I was asked to do a presentation, I let my emotions take control. This resulted in me not performing to the best of my ability.

There are several ways to avoid making some of the mistakes I made, and will enable you to give a solid presentation

• Avoid boring your audience - Remember to use your body to assit  you in your presentation, for example the moving of your head from left to right and making eye contact with your audience, will make you appear more natural and realistic.
• Know the purpose of your presentation - Be able to state your presentation in one sentences. Another effective way of getting your message across is to repeat it over and over again. Remember we have never forgotten Martin Kings speech "I have a dream ". 
• Support your presentation - with facts or figures 
• Use visual aids  - to help you support and hold your audience attention. Structure the presentation - A useful mantra for correctly structuring a presentation is... tell them what you are going tell them - tell them -tell them what you told them
• Finally the best way to ensure presentation success is...pratice pratice pratice.
