The presenter points out that mastering good presentation skills is crucial in life, work, or school. He says that the underlying aim is to ensure that the presentation impacts the audience and that it is memorable. To attain this goal, he gives seven tips that enable one to nail a presentation and give a lasting impression to the audience. The first step is to prepare and get to know what the audience already knows to ensure that the content has the right depth and technical detail. The content has to fit the audience and should not be replicated to another type of audience. The second strategy is the use of structure to build ideas that are in a coherent manner. Visuals like infographics, charts, and graphs are crucial in building ideas. The use of visuals is the third strategy for a good presentation. Visual give more impact making it more understandable and memorable.
Fourth is to build the key message using repetition by referring back to what you said in the introduction, the body, and the conclusion. The fifth strategy is how to convey the information also matters. The ideal way is to use a true story to tell a point. The sixth strategy is to be relatable. Be someone whom the audience can trust and comfortable with the audience. Thus one has to be authentic and enthusiastic about the content. Seven is to have confidence that can be achieved from frequent practice and feedback from a group of friends. When these seven topics are not followed, then the presentation will not be effective.
