Lunch ‘n Learn – Presentation skills

Another Wednesday – and another insightful Lunch ‘n Learn session hosted by EI!

As it has now become synonymous with Wednesdays, another Lunch ‘n Learn session held today served to equip participants.

Today’s topic was about Presentation Skills. It was delivered by yet another great speaker Debra Glover, who is a Voice & Speech coach and presentation trainer.

As most would know, presentation skills and public speaking skills are very useful in many aspects of work and life.  Most professionals need these skills when making presentations in business environments.

Drebra’s job is to develop people to have the confidence and capability to give good presentations, and to stand up in front of an audience and speak well.

She did a phenomenon job by sharing some of the useful tips and tricks about speaking and presenting in front of an audience and feeling comfortable about it.

She talked about the key objectives of making a good presentation, which are:

– Comfortable

– Confident

– Engaging

– Credible

“You need to look comfortable and confident when making your presentation in order for your audience to be comfortable too,” she said.

She emphasised the importance of body language, saying that gesture is very important because even if we are not speaking, our bodies speak.

“YOU are the message when making a presentation,” she said.

Another aspect of a good presentation that she touched on was preparation and practice. These two combinations, according to Debra, should make it a lot easier for anyone to make an impressive presentation. And of course knowing the kind of audience one is presenting to is also a key factor.

She quoted Mark Twain by saying “It usually takes me more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.”
