Doing a good presentation
Talk to your audience, not at them.
Project enthusiasm for the topic without preaching. The majority of communication is nonverbal, so how you look and sound are vital.
Present your material in a well-organized manner.
Choose your major points carefully and illustrate them with examples from the RoboDebt Case.
Use natural gestures and voice inflection to add interest to your presentation.
Tailor your topic to audience interests.
Never read your presentation word for word.
Talk clearly and in well-modulated tones. Avoid speaking too rapidly, softly, or loudly. Make sure that the ends of your sentences don’t drop off.
Maintain eye contact. It conveys confidence, openness, honesty, and interest. It also lets you know how the audience is responding to your presentation.
Use hand gestures naturally, gracefully, and to emphasize points. When not gesturing, let your hands drop to your sides naturally. Keep them out of pockets, off your hips, or behind your back. Avoid fiddling with clothes, hair, or presentation materials.
Maintain good posture, but do not be rigid.
Remember that adult learners have a wealth of experience; are goal oriented and appreciate outcomes more than process; have set habits, strong tastes, and little time to waste; have strong feelings about learning situations; are impatient in the pursuit of objectives, and appreciate getting to the point; find little use for isolated facts and prefer application of information;
