Training manual sample
Below are some extracts from our Public Speaking with Authenticity and Credibility manual.
Presentation types
Traditionally, presentations involved standing in front of a
large audience, often with accompanying visual aids, and talking without
interruption. Although these types of presentations are still relevant for
some, many of us aren’t presenting in this way on a regular basis.
However, we are all using presentation skills more than we
realise. Whether we are in a one to one meeting updating our manager on a
project, in group meetings with our department, or updating colleagues working
remotely over a conference call – we are always presenting.
Improving your presentation skills allows you to overcome
the initial fear of facing people, understand and engage the audience more
effectively, and improve your bargaining and persuasive skills. So whatever
your context, improving your presentation skills in any setting is important,
for both you as an individual and your organisation.

Setting a clear purpose
Before you start planning
your presentation, it’s essential you identify the purpose of your
presentation. If your audience leaves remembering one thing, what should it be?
A simple way to classify your purpose is to work out what you would like your
audience to:

Setting a clear purpose
Before you start planning

presentation. If your audience leaves remembering one thing, what should it be?
A simple way to classify your purpose is to work out what you would like your
audience to:
Profiling your audience
Always try to think about your presentation from the
perspective of the audience. It’s important to identify what they hope to get
from the experience, as this allows you to tailor the content and make it more
engaging.
Profiling your audience also helps remove nerves and
anxiety, as you will feel more prepared and ready for any difficult questions
that may come up.
Try answering the following questions about your
audience:
1) Name of one person to represent the audience – usually
the most important person in the room
2) What role do they have?
3) How long have you known them?
4) How receptive will they be? (on a scale of 1-10?)
5) How much knowledge do they have already?
6) What’s in it for them? What will they gain from your
presentation?
7) What do you want them to Do/Decide/Know?
8) What are the likely questions they will ask?
Deciding on supporting materials
When deciding on the appropriate supporting materials,
ensure you consider the following aspects:
·
Your
audience - Your audience analysis will help you here, so think about the
way your audience likes to receive information. Also consider the size and
formality of the setting.
·
The type
of information you are presenting – if you are presenting very complicated,
technical data then you may like to use additional resources for further
reading after the presentation, so no details are missed.
·
The venue
– is your presentation in a large conference room? Is it in a small meeting
room or catch-up area? Is it over the phone/Skype? Where your meeting takes
place should dictate your choice of supporting materials.
·
Your
familiarity with the topic – Often, we choose to use more supporting
materials when we are less confident in the content, or when we are ‘winging
it’. You will need to evaluate your own abilities and decide how best to make
the presentation. When you first start giving presentations you may feel more
confident with more detailed supporting materials. As you become more
experienced you may find that you can deliver effectively with less.
·
The facilities
available – Sometimes the equipment or facilities available to you will
make the decision, as you simply can’t use presentation slides without a
projector or TV screen. Make sure you check this in advance, especially if you
are presenting in a venue you’re not familiar with.
