Leadership requires a certain level of competence, in order for others to have confidence in their leader. One of the quickest ways followers can loose confidence in their leaders is based on their ability to communicate. And most of the factors contributing to the listener’s confidence come from subtle cues such as eye contact, voice, body movement, pace, and articulation. Through preparation everyone can minimize distracters and improve their delivery.
Here are a few simple effective tips to improving a verbal presentation, whether to an individual or group.
- Preparation: rehearse, consider important questions the listener needs answered why, what and who, plan your time
- Introduction: catch the audience’s attention with the “why”
- Presentation: provide sufficient information in the body to fully cover the topic
- Conclusion: end with a action challenge, reminding them of the material and what they need to do
