Whether it\u2019s for a pitch, a conference, or even an internal meeting, it\u2019s vital that you can communicate in a clear and engaging way.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/illustration_megaphone1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25683 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/illustration_megaphone1.png\" alt=\"illustration_megaphone\" width=\"601\" height=\"122\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While some people love to get up there to promote their business and share their ideas with the world, for others the thought of presenting can be about as appealing as a case of food poisoning! Feeling comfortable presenting in front of a crowd is an essential business skill to develop, so we\u2019ve put together a few tips, based on our experiences, to get you presenting like a pro!<\/p>\n<h2>1. Be confident:<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Improve-Presentation-Skills-Lightbulb.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25776 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Improve-Presentation-Skills-Lightbulb.png\" alt=\"Improve-Presentation-Skills-Lightbulb\" width=\"619\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been asked to present on a certain subject, it probably means you\u2019re a bit of an expert in the field, so be confident you have something to say that people want to hear. It also helps if it\u2019s something you\u2019re passionate about.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Know your content:<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/email_Getting-started-laptop-happy.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25487 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/email_Getting-started-laptop-happy.png\" alt=\"email_Getting-started-laptop-happy\" width=\"600\" height=\"185\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The best way to combat nerves? Know your content and subject inside out. It sounds simple but if you\u2019re worried about whether you\u2019ll be \u2018caught out\u2019 by audience questions, you need to invest time in studying your subject. If you know what you\u2019re talking about, it shows, and people will be more likely to trust you and your business.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Ditch the cue cards:<\/h2>\n<p>When nervous, people tend to reach for notes or cue cards. But generally this is distracting for both you and the audience. If you do need a written prompt, keep it for facts and figures only. You won\u2019t be able to make sense of long sentences when you\u2019re standing on stage in front of an audience.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Remember you\u2019re in charge:<\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget that only you know how your speech should go. If you mess up or leave something out, the audience will be none the wiser \u2014 so there\u2019s no need to get wound up about missing something.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Keep it succinct:<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25458 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/blog_time-saving-stopwatch.png\" alt=\"blog_time-saving-stopwatch\" width=\"600\" height=\"185\" \/><\/p>\n<p>People tend to waffle when nervous and that\u2019s an easy way to lose the audience\u2019s attention. The average person can\u2019t concentrate for more than 20 minutes at a time, so try to use that as your time limit where possible. If not, try having some sort of break at the 20 minute mark\u2014 such as a poll \u2014 otherwise try to make a clear shift in topic or theme.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Focus on your key messages:<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/illustration_bubble-21.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25698 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/illustration_bubble-21.png\" alt=\"illustration_bubble-2\" width=\"601\" height=\"130\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pick out and emphasise the best bits. People don\u2019t need to know all of the details or your life story \u2014 just focus on the key, memorable points you want them to take away.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Make use of images:<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/must-read_cloud-accounting-benefits.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25525 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/must-read_cloud-accounting-benefits.png\" alt=\"must-read_cloud-accounting-benefits\" width=\"600\" height=\"185\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t have hundreds of words on a slide. Instead, use words sparingly so they don\u2019t distract from what you\u2019re saying. Otherwise, the audience will be reading the slide instead of listening to you: slides should serve to complement your words rather than overshadowing them.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Use humour:<\/h2>\n<p>A bit of humour goes a long way when you\u2019re faced with the daunting prospect of an audience. Try to drop in a topical joke at the beginning of your presentation to loosen everyone up. Even getting a small chirp of laughter can be a great motivation, especially if you don\u2019t know the group. You don\u2019t need to be a stand up comic to try this, so give it a go.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Practice, practice, practice:<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Improve-Presentation-Skills-Practice.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25779 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Improve-Presentation-Skills-Practice.png\" alt=\"Improve-Presentation-Skills-Practice\" width=\"619\" height=\"252\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Try your speech in front of a mirror, record yourself, or ask a friend to give you feedback on your presentation style \u2014 you might be surprised how this improves your delivery. Being aware that you fidget or say \u2018um\u2019 too much, will improve your technique when it comes to the real thing. Smiling is a great way to appear relaxed, and it also improves the quality of your voice (believe it or not).<\/p>\n<h2>10. Face your audience:<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/personal-connections.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-24719 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/personal-connections.png\" alt=\"personal-connections\" width=\"600\" height=\"145\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no point talking to the wall where your presentation is being projected! You should also try to make brief eye contact with individual members of the audience during your talk to create a bond and make people feel like you\u2019re communicating to them directly.<\/p>\n<h2>11. Check your formatting:<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/must-read_strategies-for-winning-new-clients.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25534 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearbooks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/must-read_strategies-for-winning-new-clients.png\" alt=\"must-read_strategies-for-winning-new-clients\" width=\"600\" height=\"185\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing more distracting than wonky formatting! Keep font size\/ style\/ colour and alignment consistent, otherwise it looks like you couldn\u2019t be bothered, and ultimately this will damage the credibility of your message. This also goes for distracting spelling mistakes; if that\u2019s not your strong point, ask someone else to look over it for you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Above all, remember that you don\u2019t need to have all the answers \u2014 if you don\u2019t know the answer to a question, just say you\u2019ll follow up later.<\/p>\n<p>This can be a great way to start a conversation about your business with a potential customer as it shows you\u2019re thorough and respond efficiently \u2014 which are exactly the sort of traits we all appreciate in business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to improve presentation skills An important part of most jobs, and particularly if you\u2019re running your own business, is standing up and presenting in front of large groups of people.
