The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of Presentations
April 15, 2009
A good presenter uses many different techniques to make sure the presentation goes over smoothly. The first thing they need to do is make sure that they catch the readers attention at the very beginnings. They also have to make sure that their presentation (mostly the media) flows smoothly. There also needs to be a logical progression of what they are talking about. Finally its okay if they stumble over a word, but they have to take a second and collect their thoughts to get back on track.
A bad presenter rushes through the material. They start right into the presentation and don’t have an introduction. They aren’t sure of the order of their presentation and need to look at the screen to see what comes next. They also don’t make much eye contact with the audience and don’t give them any time to think about what they are saying.
