Question

how to improve my presentation skills ?

Answer 1

I think what helps the most is get something to work off- like a sheet with all the skills on them and then get someone to tick them off everytime you perform a skill.

When you're drafting your original speech have sections that point out 'hand gestures' or '3 second pause' so when you're delivering your speech it's easier. What helps with me is doing the presentation in the mirror to myself. You're watching yourself as if the audience are watching you.

Remember, if you're uncomfortable & hesitant, the audience shall also do the same. Try adding a few jokes in to break the ice too then you'll automatically feel comfortable and let yourself deliver the presentational skills in a natural manner.

Thought this could help as well: http://www.kent.ac.uk/careers/pics/Presentation-skills.jpg

If you're finding it really difficult, focus on just one for a day. E.G, Monday with your speech you could focus on Hand Gestures. Tuesday, you could just focus on the Pauses. Wednesday, focus on the Pace... etc.

Good luck! :-)
