“I always think a great speaker convinces us not by force of reasoning but because he is visibly enjoying the beliefs he wants us to accept.”
-W.B. Yeats
Podium panicFor some people, the thought of giving a presentation is more frightening than falling off a cliff, financial difficulties, or snakes !
What is Podium Panic ?
How to deal with Podium Panic ?
Before The PresentationCheck out the room in advance
Concentrate on the message
Rehearsal is the most required thing before giving a presentation
Analyze your audience
Analyzing your audienceWhat are their names, backgrounds, reasons for attending, etc
?
What are their big concerns ?
What do their objectives, or hot buttons, fears or attitude?
And more importantly…..
How much do they need?
Pitch or Tone
Substandard Grammar
Pronunciation
Articulation
Rate of speech
Emphasis
Vocalized pauses ( um, ah, you know, I mean, oh, like)
Eye contact is also an essential part while making a communication
Never let your audience go out of your sight
Looking in their eyes makes them feel they are influenced by what you say
Body LanguageDo not stay in the same place, and also do not rock or sway
Do not lean on wall or table or stand too very close to the mice
Do not use a single gesture repeatedly or cross your arm
Do not chew gum or candy
Do not bite or examine your fingernails or crack your knuckles.
Do not click or tap your pencil or pen or pointer or shuffle your notes repeatedly
The Q & A roundThe Q&A round is in a way beginning of a new interactive
presentation
Opportunity to make a point
Most battles are either WON or LOST here
Listen to the entire question
Pause and Think
Credit the person for asking the question
Respond to the question honestly and in the best way you can
Head on to the next question by asking them “Does that answer your question?", "Is that the kind of information you were looking for?“
THE RULE- Never argue with any member of the audience.
