Durante knew how to keep the audience's attention until the last moment and end his presentation memorably. We, as business presenters, need to learn to do the same. So that means: No trailing off at the end of your presentation: "Well, I guess that's about it.". HOW TO CLOSE A PRESENTATION. When thinking about the last 3-5 minutes of your presentation, you must answer the question, "What do I want my audience to remember/walk away with?"

Do you want to give your presentation a new distinctive look this year? Surely, following the hype may seem tiresome, but sticking with a standard PowerPoint presentation template will hardly impress the modern audiences, already spoiled by the good design looks everywhere around them.

Dramatic business presentations don’t require drama. One of them comprises, to be sure, some impressive post-production work on the video itself, but the second is a good basic use of some concealed jewels of presentation technique. For future presentations, think of yourself as the central jewel in the middle, and of these techniques as being the setting-stones that can make you shine. Can you create something similar for your next presentation?

When you see a list of skills a presenter should cultivate, listening isn't usually one that's near the top. For presenters, there is more focus on the mouth than the ears. The savvy presenter knows that practicing active listening skills is a powerful way to engage an audience. It's easy, however, for any presenter to forget to listen: nerves might be driving you to want to just get through the presentation as quickly as possible.

In this age of information overload, any time you can streamline the message you present, your audience will be thrilled. But most presentations include way too much detail. Most presenters, in preparing their presentation, neglect to ask the question, "What does my audience need to know?". The benefits of presenting less, rather than more, are several: a smaller quantity of data is easier to organize and easier to present in a clear, logical flow.

I have written before (see links below) about the many lessons a business presenter can learn from a stage actor -- techniques like blocking, care of voice, how to evoke emotions, rigorous rehearsal and the value of a story line. You can achieve these same outcomes in business presentations.

Sitting down is not so fine when you're giving a presentation. There is a good reason why most business presenters deliver their presentations standing up -- they're more visible, have more flexibility to move and command more authority. Yet there are times when you just don't have a choice.you have to present from a seated position. But as my presentation progressed, I was reminded of how awkward it is to present sitting down.

Before the presentation, provide an accurate summary of your topic for any source [agenda, program, etc.] If the presentation is within your organization, to the best of your ability, monitor any descriptions or comments that are circulating and adjust, as necessary, so they reflect what you will actually talk about. During the presentation, state clearly what you will cover. As a speaker, you will always deal with audience expectations.

And while I'd be the first to suggest that a good presentation does have an element of magic, props in a business presentation serve a much more worldly purpose: to aid the audience's understanding and involvement. Supporting your verbal delivery, props can: be stronger than words since they are concrete and visual -- when talking about how to dress for a presentation, show pictures or actual pieces of jewelry that could distract the audience.
