I’ve been asking this question – What makes a good presenter? whenever I teach Presentation Skills for years.
Here are the answers from a group in Singapore pre-pandemic.
- put the audience at ease
- adaptable
- knows the audience
- confident
- style audience
- Knows their message
- good structure
- story
- Relevant / Knows audience’s needs
- articulate and coherent
- listening
- prepared
- engaging
- two way communications (and a back up plan)
- warmed up, made comfortable, broke ice
- assertive
- positive
- approachable (personal, 2 way discussion)
- connecting to the audicence
- Trust in the audience
How has this changed post-pandemic? How do you do these things in person AND online? I’m going to find out – Come to presentation mastery and find out for yourself.
