You're struggling to present a complex idea to your team. How can you make it more accessible?

The first thing to do in a gathering is to know your audience know the level of education, the way they could understand things easily.

The second stage after knowing your audience is to simplifying things in easily way to convey message to the audience by breaking complex idea into a simple format.

Breakdown the complex idea into bits, come up with ways of organizing/presenting these, use a mind map or anything similar along with appealing visuals which aids in simplifying the entire complex problem. Have an overall logic that smoothens the entire process.

Remembering that the presentation material is more of just a visual aid to your voice. Typically if something needs to be stated as a full sentence it can instead be visualized and stated in an abbreviated format. Ex. Here is a statement on performance - "The company revenue has grown by 5% to $1.2M as a result of strategic changes to the business". This could be broken down into a graphic using arrows for direction performance. Taking it a step further one could put together a slide of highlighting several of the strategic changes made to the business to give the presentation stakeholders insights needed to inform further change for the business.

Making use of visuals also have along way to go According to some research the brain tends to capture information faster when it is being visualise.

Any Complex idea can be made simpler with the help of visuals. First & foremost, breakup the complexity into chunks of pieces and come up with a way of presenting them with either analogies, visuals, stories, whatever serves the purpose in a logical way.

Break down the idea into simple steps. Imagine you as the audience and note down what questions the audience may have and try to answer them in the presentation. Practice makes us sound more confident because we know what we want to say and how much time is needed on each slide. Practice, recording, and rehearsing are the keys to improving the delivery of the presentation.

Collaboration on content is one often overlooked aspect of engaging your audience. An easy way to ensure stakeholder buy in is to give your audience a seat at the table when creating the presentation. Try giving your audience a few minutes to add context after you have done an intro. This can reinforce a sense of ownership and set the stage for a two-way feedback loop.
