How to Create & Deliver Effective Presentations - Sarah Simpson
Introduction
I passionately believe that's it's not just what you say that counts, it's also how you say it - that the success of your argument critically depends on your manner of presenting it
(Alain de Botton)
Presenting comes in many forms. From the large auditorium to the much smaller, but sometimes just as intimidating team meeting.
We have all encountered inspiring, motivational people whose presenting style and message leaves us feeling inspired and enthused. Conversely we will also have experienced a lacklustre style which is ineffective, de-motivating and sometimes painfully embarrassing.
So, why should you be a great presenter? Surely your material will speak for itself, right?... Wrong. A well planned and practiced presentation will increase the impact of your message, add to your professional reputation and credibility and ensure your key presentation objectives are met.
3 Main Presentation Elements
A presentation is made up of three main elements:
Audience
Content
Presenter
In order to deliver an effective presentation you have to recognise and appreciate what makes a 'good' or 'bad' delivery. You can then ensure your own presentation takes account of these observations and eliminates ineffective and poorly received elements.

'Poor' or ineffective presentations are likely to have the characteristics of:
Poor slide choice - colours, words, font, effects, inappropriate pictures
Lack of audience participation
Monotone, lacklustre presenter who delivers too fast, too slow or who shouts
Hesitant delivery (‘erm’ and ‘uh’) or reading verbatim
A 'look at me' presenter who seems to be more
