This is the last part of my preparation for technical presentations. This is the day of your presentation? Excited or nervous? Well you shouldn't be nervous if your prepared well right? If you followed all the steps in my previous parts, the hard parts are over. So now you need to concentrate on the delivery of the presentation. These are the steps you need to follow on the day of your presentation;
1. Practice talk
Practice your presentation in front of a mirror or record it. This will help you not only to be prepared but also will help you to see your body language. There should be a certain level of body language but do not overdo it. If you can practice talk in front of your family or friends to see whether they understand what the hell your talking about.
2. Presentation venue
Make sure you go to the presentation venue before the audience arrive. Prepare all your equipment, test the mike and get the slides ready. Go to the podium and just have the feel of the audience (you have to do this before anyone comes in). Also ensure that your dressed suiting to the occasion.
3. Delivery
So here comes the exciting part. Keep in mind all the preparation you did and be CONFIDENT. People will not take you serious if you have shaky hands and a sweaty face. Delivery can be stressful especially if your trying to sell a product to a customer but you need to stay calm.
4. Answering question
So obviously there would be a Q&A session, you need to be prepared for it. If you have time maybe before one day for the presentation you could develop some questions which you think the viewers will ask and prepare the answers yourself.
Now your ready to do your presentation. If you need more inspiration go to you tube and look at Steve Jobs presentations. They are the best.
GOOD LUCK with your presentations.
