1 Know your purpose

Before you start preparing your presentation, you need to have a clear goal in mind. What do you want your audience to learn, feel, or do as a result of your presentation? How will you measure your success? Having a specific and realistic purpose will help you focus your content, structure your message, and tailor your delivery to your audience.

Start with the audience, not your purpose. You have to know what your audience currently thinks, feels, and does before you can engage, persuade, or inspire them to do something differently. Audiences don't care about you. They care about what you can do for them. How you can improve their lives. How you can save them time, money, take away their pain? Solve what keeps them up at night. Start with the audience. Then figure out how your purpose aligns with them.

2 Know your audience

Speaking of your audience, you need to know who they are, what they care about, and what they expect from you. Do some research on their background, interests, needs, and preferences. Use this information to adapt your tone, language, and examples to suit their level of knowledge and engagement. Also, anticipate their questions, objections, and feedback, and prepare your responses accordingly.

Regarding your audience, it is imperative to ascertain their identity, areas of concern, and anticipated outcomes. Perform an investigation into their personal history, places of interest, requirements, and inclinations. Utilise the provided information to modify your tone, language, and examples to align with their understanding and level of involvement. In addition, it is advisable to anticipate the inquiries, objections, and feedback of others and tailor your responses accordingly.

Consider their knowledge level: Don't talk over their heads with jargon, but avoid being too basic either. Find the sweet spot that builds on their existing knowledge. Prior research will help here. Focus on their goals: What do they want to get out of your presentation? Is it information, inspiration, or a call to action? Align your content accordingly. Speak their language: Use terminology they understand and avoid overly technical language. Adapt your tone and style to suit the the setting. By keeping your audience in mind, you'll craft a presentation that grabs their attention, keeps them engaged, and ensures they leave with valuable takeaways.

3 Know your content

Of course, you also need to know your topic inside out. You should be able to explain your main points, provide evidence and examples, and answer questions confidently and accurately. However, knowing your content doesn’t mean memorizing every word or reading from your slides. Instead, use notes, cues, or prompts to guide you through your presentation, and practice until you feel comfortable and fluent.

4 Know your style

Your presentation style is how you communicate your content to your audience. It includes your voice, body language, eye contact, gestures, and facial expressions. Your style should match your purpose, audience, and content, and convey your personality, enthusiasm, and credibility. To improve your style, record yourself and watch for any habits, mannerisms, or filler words that may distract or annoy your audience. Also, get feedback from others and learn from their suggestions.

5 Know your tools

Your tools are the visual aids, audio clips, videos, or other materials that you use to enhance your presentation. Your tools should complement your content, not compete with it or replace it. Choose tools that are relevant, clear, simple, and attractive, and make sure they work well with the equipment and environment you have. Also, have a backup plan in case something goes wrong with your tools.

6 Know your time

Finally, you need to know how much time you have for your presentation, and how to manage it effectively. Plan your presentation according to the time limit, and allocate enough time for each section, as well as for the introduction and conclusion. Practice your presentation with a timer, and adjust your pace, content, and delivery as needed. Also, leave some time for questions and interactions with your audience, and wrap up your presentation on a strong note.

7 Here’s what else to consider

This is a space to share examples, stories, or insights that don’t fit into any of the previous sections. What else would you like to add?

?Right in the beginning of the presentation, make the agenda and the purpose of your presentation clear to the audience. ?Make sure that you engage with the audience during the presentation by asking impromptu questions or if they have any doubts ? Keep a QnA round towards the end
