Improving Presentation Skills

Do you wish you could present with confidence? Do your presentations lack punch? Or are they poorly constructed? If you answered yes to these questions then you may be relieved to know that you can improve your presentation skills. Presentation and public speaking skills are skills that can be taught and, with practice, will improve over time. We often think of public speaking as a specific skill set reserved for polished professionals, or people in sales and marketing, yet it is an important skill for any individual who would like to speak clearly and confidently.

Most likely, when you think of presentation skills, you picture someone standing in front of an audience speaking confidently with a PowerPoint slide in the background. This is one of many scenarios, yet public speaking and presentation skills are a part of everyday experiences. Have you considered how presentation skills could help you with you next job interview? Or putting forward your opinion at work? Other scenarios include networking events, meeting new people within your social circle, internal work meetings, dealing with suppliers or clients.            

The fear of public speaking is what holds many people back from presenting or speaking up. Overcoming this fear is fundamental to improving presentation skills. So, where do you start? Think of presentations as a form of communication where the presenter is exchanging ideas and information. Good presentation skills allow you to communicate complex information in simple and interesting ways to keep the audience engaged. In addition, presentation skills help you communicate thoughts and feelings effectively, develop self-confidence and gain real world skills.

Content variety is important, include visual aids such as video and images to support your message, or whiteboards and flip charts to explain your point. Consider engaging the audience through questions, demonstrations and by using props. Use vocal variety to maintain interest through pitch (higher / lower), pace (faster / slower), power (louder / softer), pause (longer / shorter) and tone (serious / humorous / formal / informal, etc). Follow these suggestions and your audience will leave your presentations informed and with a clear understanding of your message.  

Body language including facial expressions, hand gestures, eye contact, posture and leg movements, can aid or detract in a presentation. Avoid incongruence by ensuring that your facial expressions match your words. Smile to convey friendliness and confidence; if your message is of a more serious nature then your facial expression should match the tone. When we are nervous or fearful we often hide our hands – in our pockets, behind our backs, by folding our arms, fidgeting or clasping them tightly. If you find you are habitually hiding your hands then consider keeping your arms by your side until you need to gesture and then returning them to your side when you are done gesturing. Otherwise you are signalling to the audience that you are nervous, lack confidence, don’t believe in your own message, are disinterested and unenthusiastic. Instead, support your message through open and varied gestures.

Use eye contact when emphasising a point. Don’t stare at an individual, rather, move quickly throughout the audience to portray interest in the audience member. Standing or sitting tall and straight will display strength and professionalism, never slouch – it will convey disinterest, displeasure and overall boredom. Remember to move with purpose, remaining in one spot can signal a lack of passion and authenticity. Moreover, moving about without purpose, like swaying front to back or pacing back and forth will distract the audience. Other leg movements like jiggling your legs show discomfort and restlessness.

Structure your presentation well, so that all topics are given ample amount of time and the audience is also given time to digest inputs and ask questions. Remember to focus on the audience by focusing on connection; know your content and then adjust your presentation based on audience feedback. You can add clarity and balance to your speech through the clever use of repetition in the form of triads. Here’s an excellent example from Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address:    

“But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground.”

The use of repetition helps your audience understand your message and creates balance and rhythm in your delivery. In addition, this repetition creates a concise and memorable message.

Public Relations Pitfalls

What are some of the common pitfalls to avoid in public relations? Poorly written material, too much content, lack of enthusiasm for the pitch, over-hyping, poor research, noisy background during phone conversations and bad timing.   

Written material that is poorly worded, contains spelling errors and is poorly structured will ensure that your press release will end up in the trash. Watch the length. Too much content leads to irrelevant information that needs to be waded through before the reporter can determine what the point is. If you want to grab the reader’s attention, you must be write your pitch concisely. Cover all the relevant points and follow up with information about the event or activity. Use simple, clear language and avoid jargon.

Enthusiasm for your pitch is essential, however, you must ensure that you don’t overdo it.  Remember to smile when you pitch, don’t use too many superlatives or you won’t sound credible. Use facts to support your statements, don’t exaggerate and avoid generalisations. You want to boost the reputation of your brand, generate leads and then convert those leads. To achieve these goals you must protect the brand, promote it through fact sheets and use strong writing skills.   

Poor research will result in a number of issues, including sending your press release to multiple reporters in the same office or targeting the wrong reporter in multiple offices! Do your homework. When emailing, only email one reporter at a time. Know which reporter covers your topic, follow them on social media, create a relationship with them. If you use Twitter, consider following them and use Direct Message so your communications remain private.

Poor research can lead to a lack of purpose, for example, sending out press releases too frequently which don’t provide important updates. Have a plan, know what you wish to communicate and why. If you don’t plan you risk an important announcement being ignored by the press. And don’t forget to check your competitors’ PR efforts. The reporter you are pitching to may have recently written a story on your competitor, take time to research their angle to ensure that your story pitch has a different angle.

Make sure you call from a quiet location with a reliable line, pitching from a mobile phone could be problematic in areas with poor coverage. If you are unable to contact the reporter, consider calling back, rather than leaving a voice mail, which most likely will result in your call being ignored. Be prepared to close the deal by following up. You want to be heard, so be ready with additional information if a reporter has additional questions.

Avoid bad timing by considering lead time for magazines, newspapers, and other media. Consider reading the papers and online publications to keep up with what is going on in the world. This ensures you can avoid poorly timed media releases and could give you a way to relate your event to those recently mentioned in the news.

Social Communication

Our digital world has made it easier that ever to keep in touch, social media and the use of mobile phones is on the rise. But how effective is this form of communication? This casual form of written communication can be misinterpreted without the subtle nuances of body language and vocal variety. And it is more time consuming than a verbal conversation. However, it seems to be the preferred form of communicating in our modern world. Why? It’s convenient and can lead to face-to-face meetings. Social media is a very efficient if you need to broadcast to a wide audience. There are opportunities to join like-minded groups and alleviate loneliness, particularly for the socially isolated. It’s a great tool for networking, giving instant global communication and can promote loyalty. News feed customisation, business opportunities and general communication are easily facilitated. It’s a low cost way to manage campaigns, complete market research and combines marketing with customer service. It facilitates Search Engine Optimisation, promotes content and provides ample data as a feedback mechanism.

On the flip-side we can become overwhelmed buy the volume of information. And what about privacy? There are ways to protect yourself but there is always the risk of account hacking and data leakage. Then there’s information ownership. Does the social media site own the content or do you? Being conscious of sharing your geological location or private information that can be exploited. Cyber bullying can lead to depression and anxiety. Over reliance of online interaction leading to anti-social behaviour – including using the mobile phone whilst driving and constant checking whilst in the company of others. Not to mention an inactive lifestyle, sleep disruption and wasting time. If used for business you will spend an inordinate amount of time posting, dealing with complaints and other non-marketing issues. The lack of control after posting, changes in facebook and twitter algorithms, and the spread of fake news all demonstrate the perils of social media.

Where does social communication fit in the “off-line world”? This relates to when and how you should talk, using gestures and facial expressions. Social communication skills is associated with using language to engage with others, such as making a request. We often change our language to suit the audience or situation. Consider the difference between how you address your boss versus how you address your child. Or when discussing a topic with people who are well versed in the subject compared with an audience who is not au fait with the subject matter. Other rules, such as taking turns speaking, using eye contact, keeping a comfortable distance when speaking face-to-face, remaining on topic, focusing on the other person, and using alternative language to explain what you mean – particularly when you are misunderstood. Then there is the added challenge of understanding what is appropriate in other cultures versus your own culture.

The common link between online and off-line social communication is the opportunity to share information and experiences with others. At least, that’s the perception. In reality, studies suggest that social media platforms distort communications, make it difficult to share thoughts and have a negative impact on people’s social skills. Then there is the noticeable decrease in quality of our daily interpersonal relationships. People are more concerned with creating the perception of having fun rather than creating new experiences in the real world. Furthermore, there is the added issue of people comparing their “bland lives” with their friends’ posts, not realising that – more often than not – their friends’ lives are just as bland.

There is a marked difference in the quality of interpersonal communication since the advent of social media. The common use of shorthand in social media platforms (‘brb’, ‘lol’, ‘m8’, etc) is less effective in real life communication leading to an increase in illiteracy. Poor use of grammar and syntax leads to ineffective communication and an inability to form complex ideas into words. Written language requires clarity, proper use of grammar and syntax, correct spelling and use of vocabulary.

Social communication includes social interaction, where we adjust our communication style based on who we are interacting with. It offers the opportunity to explore and exchange ideas, assists with building relationships, critical thinking and public speaking. The ability to speak in public is an important skill which will enhance your social communication. And it’s a great confidence booster. Public speaking teaches you how to structure what you are going to say in a clear and concise manner. You will learn effective ways to communicate your ideas, make new social connections and expand your professional network. Other benefits includes developing your vocabulary and becoming a better listener.

Inspirational Speakers

Inspirational speakers are often confused with motivational speakers. Why? Because the difference between motivational and inspirational speakers is subtle. Motivational speakers, like Tony Robbins, encourage you to become more excited about what you do, they focus on the psychology of motivation and purpose. This leads to a change in behaviour as the motivational speaker helps people to think better, do better and be better. They are often business focused and concentrate on mindset and the how.

Inspirational speakers use their life experience and evaluate themselves frequently, passing on any useful information to their audiences. They possess strong speaking skills and help individuals make definite changes by providing them with an ideal reference, such as overcoming adversity. Inspirational speakers deliver their message with enthusiasm, creating a connection with the audience by using emotional language and have achieved a level of success by overcoming extreme setbacks. Inspirational speakers focus on our spirit and the why…. 

The inspirational speaker reminds us to look at our lives through a different lens to see where the opportunities lie. How can you take responsibility to change direction in your life? What challenges do you need to overcome? What’s the end result you need to focus on? Inspirational speakers promote self confidence, the power of determination and never giving up. They share a message of hope, how to perform at your best and provide lessons in reinventing yourself.

How can we become inspirational speakers? Through compassion, having a vision and achieving our goals.  Develop self-discipline, share solutions, become selfless. Invest in self-development, find inner peace, help others to see their strengths and opportunities. Show that you care, encourage others through your words and actions and earn people’s trust.

Interested in becoming an inspirational speaker?  Visit Picnic Point Toastmasters at 7pm every 1^st and 3rd Tuesday at Club Picnic Point – 124 Lambeth Street, Panania.   

“When you share your experiences with other people, you help take away their fears”

– Rick Warren

Stagecraft

When contemplating speaking in front of an audience we tend to focus on speech content and often forget to practice our stagecraft. Starting with the moment you step on that stage, your every movement will convey your confidence or your fear. Are you walking on stage filled with energy? Will there be an image on the screen or music playing in line with the theme of your speech? The audience is watching….You should be grabbing their attention as soon as you are introduced. Your opportunity to engage the audience starts the moment you step on that stage.

Resist the temptation to start speaking, instead, pause. Then look at the audience for a few moments before you start. Hold eye contact with a few people until you have the attention of the whole room. This gives everyone time to settle down and focus their attention on you.

 Your opening should be powerful, consider starting with a quote, a story, or an unusual fact. Draw in the audience by using words like ‘you’ and ‘yours’. A question is often a good way to start.  For example, “How many of you have experienced…?”,  “If I told you _____, would you believe me?”.  You only have a few seconds to engage your audience, they will decide very quickly whether they are going to listen to you or switch off from you. Using a strong opening will create interest and ensures the audience is focusing on you.

Keep your audience engaged through movement. Use 2 or 3 ‘anchor points’ on the stage as your progress through your speech. Anchoring your points allows you to refer back to them with a simple indication of your hand. This is particularly useful when using a timeline of past, present and future or referring to an earlier point. When you move on stage you connect more closely with different parts of the audience. However, you need to make movements with purpose. Walking around aimlessly will disengage and confuse your audience. When delivering your key message use the centre of the stage, close to the audience. This point of the stage is known as the power position. Moving on the stage is just one aspect of using body language.   

Body language helps you to express points throughout your speech. The most common expressions of body language are gesturing and eye contact. When gesturing with your hands, make sure you are not holding anything – unless it’s to briefly demonstrate a point. Once you have finished making the point put down the item you were holding. Having empty hands helps you to gesture more naturally. Consider practising gestures in front of a mirror to minimise repetition but don’t orchestrate your gestures. They will look unnatural and only serve to distract your audience. When not gesturing, keep your hands by your side.  

Eye contact helps you to connect with your audience. Use eye contact to look at their facial expressions and their reactions to what you’re saying. Use this feedback to confirm if your audience is engaged or if you need to adjust your delivery. Focus on one person at a time, it helps to create a one on one conversational style. It can reduce your nerves as we all have experienced one on one conversations, thus it will feel more natural to you. How long should you maintain eye contact? Just a few seconds; enough time to get through a short sentence. Often, the person will nod in response once they have processed your words.     

If you are using presentation software, a flip-chart or a whiteboard, consider placing it on the left or right hand side of centre stage, rather than in the centre – the power position. Once you have made your point using these tools, be sure to move closer to the audience towards centre stage.  

Stagecraft helps your audience visualise your message and interact with you. It maintains audience attention and interest, particularly when your speech is delivered with passion.

Keen to practice your stagecraft? Visit Picnic Point Toastmasters on the 1^st and 3^rd Tuesday of the month. We meet at 7pm at Club Picnic Point, 124 Lambeth St, Panania.  Your audience awaits you…..

Toastmasters New Year’s Resolution

According to Wikipedia, a New Year’s resolution is a tradition, most common in the Western Hemisphere but also found in the Eastern Hemisphere, in which a person resolves to change an undesired trait or behaviour, to accomplish a personal goal or otherwise improve their life. Who started this custom and why?

The ancient Babylonians are said to have been the first people to make New Year’s resolutions, some 4,000 years ago. They were also the first to hold recorded celebrations in honour of the new year, which was held in mid-March, when crops were planted. The Babylonians crowned a new king or reaffirmed their loyalty to the reigning king during 12-day religious festival known as Akitu, where they made promises to the gods to pay their debts and return any objects they had borrowed. These promises could be considered the forerunners of our New Year’s resolutions.

A similar practice occurred in ancient Rome, when Julius Caesar tinkered with the calendar and established January 1 as the beginning of the new year in circa 46 B.C. The month was named after Janus, the two-faced god whose spirit inhabited doorways and arches. Believing that Janus symbolically looked backwards into the previous year and ahead into the future, the Romans offered sacrifices to the deity and made promises of good conduct for the coming year. For early Christians, the first day of the new year became the traditional occasion for thinking about one’s past mistakes and promising to do better in the future.

Today, we no longer make promises to the gods, but to ourselves – usually to kick our goals pertaining to self improvement. Yet, only 8% of us follow through. One of the most popular New Year’s resolutions is to learn a new skill or hobby. If you have been thinking about improving your communication skills and meeting like-minded people then there is no time like the present to join Toastmasters. Besides making new friends and working on a new skill, you will become more confident. Face your fears and insecurities surrounding public speaking. Give yourself the opportunity to use your free time in a constructive manner and pick up new skills while having fun at the same time.

Ready to keep that New Year’s Resolution? Why not join us this Tuesday at Picnic Point Toastmasters to start off your new year resolution?

We meet on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7pm at Club Picnic Point – 124 Lambeth Street, Panania.

What’s Your Truth?

Do you have a message you would like to share with like-minded thinkers? Does the fear of public speaking stop you in your tracks? This kind of thinking stems from how you feel when faced with public speaking. The fear is based on feeling threatened, so your body responds with a kind of anxiety. This anxiety can be mild; you may feel a little tense, your heart may be racing or maybe you are breathing rapidly.

Where does this anxiousness come from? Most likely, the fact that you are standing on your own in front of an audience who may reject you. Yet, this fear is often unfounded. How can you overcome this fear of public speaking? Know your truth. What are you passionate about? Are you committed to your truth? Does your truth reflect your preferences? Take the time to consider your position. As individuals, we often forget who we are whilst we are busy living up to others expectations.

When you accept who you are it shows up as confidence, and this confidence is carried across when you present to others. Who are you? Let this person shine through your presentation. Focusing on your truth and speaking with passion naturally leads to an energised delivery which will engage your  audience. Whilst you remain focused on your delivering your message, you will be more insightful and will automatically use inclusive language. Why is this important? Inclusive language means you are using collaborative words which helps the audience engage with you. Your community-minded approach ensures that people are listening to and absorbing your message.

The first steps to knowing your truth and expressing it starts with you. Before you present, take the time to prepare your presentation, learn what you can about the audience, relax before the presentation, and above all, practice with passion and enthusiasm. Focus on the message and delivery. Once you are in front of that audience use your passion, share your best insights and use collaborative language.

To speak your truth is to live your truth. Living your truth is all about balance, respect, self-validation, being honest and knowing that your value is not dependent on others. When you speak your truth you won’t be bothered by negative thoughts regarding your credibility as a speaker or your lack of experience. Your confidence will grow with preparation and practice. Use a relaxation technique to get you into a calm state, give yourself plenty of time to prepare your presentation, focus on communicating your message and seek out opportunities to speak more often.

Ready to speak your truth? Consider visiting Picnic Point Toastmasters to learn about our proven system that teaches you the basics of public speaking and communication.  We meet at Club Picnic Point, 124 Lambeth St, Panania on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7pm.

Communication Strategy

Do you have a communication strategy? Do you need one? A communication strategy is usually associated with business, but have you considered a personal communication strategy? Taking the time to develop a personal communication strategy will help you to get your message across more effectively. No doubt you have witnessed some communication faux pas in your time, perhaps you have been guilty of committing them…. Yet, there are some simple steps you can take to ensure your words convey what you really mean.

Firstly, how clear is your objective? What are you trying to achieve? Are you looking to inform or persuade your audience? Are you expecting them to take some kind of action as a result of your message? Secondly, have you clearly identified who your audience is? This is crucial, as you need to tailor your message to suit the audience whilst ensuring that your objective remains intact.  Next, consider how you will express your communication. Will you be presenting in person, creating a blog, emailing, or posting on social media? What about a podcast, forum or YouTube?

Once you have decided on the objective, identified the target audience and settled on the form of communication your next step is to tailor the message in a way that is short and simple. If you have done your homework you will have an idea of your audience’s perspective. Take note of their response, this feedback will either confirm that you are on the right track or that you need to change your delivery. This exchange between you and your audience will enhance your understanding and provide you with the next steps. What can you learn from this experience? What would you do differently to improve the connection between you and your audience?

Reflecting on the delivery and audience reaction will give you insight into what you are doing well and where the opportunities lie. Could you have chosen better words? If there is any ambiguity in your message? What about the tone of your voice or writing? If there is room for interpretation then you may need to adjust your delivery. Sincerity is key. If there is any doubt in your audience’s mind you will lose their trust in you. People will care about you when you show them that you care about them. Don’t forget that communication is more than the words that come tumbling out of your mouth or keyboard.

When speaking in front of an audience you need to keep a check on your non-verbal cues, such as body language, gesturing, facial expressions, eye contact, arm and leg posture. These unconscious cues will inform your audience whether you are engaged with the topic and the audience or whether you are just going through the motions. And if you are addressing an audience of mixed cultures or travelling overseas be sure to familiarise yourself with what is acceptable and what may be considered disrespectful.

Lastly, be a good listener. Often, we are so eager to express ourselves that we don’t take the time to tune out the distractions and truly connect with our audience. Yet, this skill helps you build relationships, ensures you understand one another and resolves conflicts. Maintaining appropriate eye contact is the first step to good listening skills and take note of non-verbal cues. Be attentive, keep an open mind and concentrate on what the other person is saying. Don’t interrupt, wait for the speaker to pause before responding or asking clarifying questions. Use empathy to connect with the other person, this means you are allowing yourself to feel what the other person is feeling, taking your listening skills to another level. And remember to give regular feedback to reflect your understanding. For example, you might comment with “You seem very pleased with the outcome” or “What a terrible experience”. This type of feedback demonstrates that you are listening and are following their line of thinking.

If you are still unsure about developing a personal communication strategy and are looking for some guidance and a chance to practice in a supportive environment then consider speaking to us at Picnic Point Toastmasters. We meet at 7pm every 1st and 3rd Tuesday at Club Picnic Point – 124 Lambeth Street, Panania.

Curious About Toastmasters?

The next step is to attend regularly, take every speaking opportunity that presents itself and practice, practice, practice.

Listen to how others speak, whether it’s a social event or business meeting. How did the person address the person or group? Did they seem confident? Did they use eye contact? Were they fidgeting? Did they hold your interest? Take note and consider how they could have improved. Use these insights to help you recognise accomplished speakers and poor speakers. What skill can you borrow or bad habits can you avoid to help your next presentation?

Don’t let fear stop you…use the energy to motivate you through passion and purpose. We all have a unique way of looking at the world we live in. Your experiences, views and ideas are worth sharing. We all have something to say. At Toastmasters, you are encouraged to express your thoughts. Be conscious of what you have to give. Contributing to others helps you focus on an immediate goal – being understood. How can you be sure that the audience understood your intended message? By understanding your audience and connecting with a few people in the audience through eye contact.

If the thought of presenting is affecting your confidence, let Picnic Point Toastmasters help you overcome the fear and instill confidence in it’s place. When you speak with confidence, people listen. Confident people inspire confidence through a calm and steady pace, pausing to allow others to absorb the idea or thought presented, respect time, listen and watch for feedback.
