Delivering a Grand Presentation

For business people, the thought of presenting in a public situation can be a frightening and often unavoidable proposition. If you are tasked with making a presentation to others, here are a few simple tips and considerations to help you deliver a grand presentation.

1. Show your confidence in yourself!

The first few minutes of your presentation, the audience will give you the benefit of any doubt so capture them! Audiences generally want to like a presenter, and they will give you a few minutes at the beginning to engage them, but if you miss this opportunity, you may not be given another. Give them the tip of the iceberg. In other words tell them enough about what you are going to talk about to create intrigue and curiosity. Your confidence in your presentation material combined with enthusiastically capturing the audience will showcase your passion for your presentation.

2. Speaking of passionate

Be passionate about your topic and let that enthusiasm show through. If you do, you won’t have to worry as much about voice projection, intonation, gesturing, or posture. Your message will not only be evident in your material but in your body language. Your content, professionalism, and visuals are leveraged by your enthusiasm and passion for your material.

3. To use or not to use the podium

Many presenters head straight to the podium after being introduced and never leave the podium until they’re done. Unless you’ve been invited to give a lecture on binomial nomenclature or the archeological significance of trilobites, move around. Try to move closer to your audience by standing in front of or away from the podium. A podium is a barrier. During my undergraduate studies, all I ever remember of my American history professor was from her nose up. The podium covered up the rest of her body. The goal of your presentation is to connect with the audience. Touch the audience with both your physical proximity and the passionate content of your message.

4. Keep it concise

People have short attention spans and most are multitasking out of necessity these days. Audience attention is greatest at the beginning of your presentation and will wane as time passes. So, evaluate the organization of your presentation so that you can keep coming back to your central theme you used in the beginning when you gave away the tip of the iceberg. This will keep your audience centered and more attentive. Stories are great anecdotal tools in a presentation however keep them short and lively, make sure they support the central theme of your presentation, and enhance the message.

5. Practice

Practice your presentation often. You will find yourself modifying your presentation iteratively until you have it just where you want it to be. Video yourself practicing from several angles and see if you would enjoy your own presentation. We tend to be our own worst critics. Ask a trusted friend to critique your presentation. Most of us can easily talk about ourselves because the subject matter is well known to us. Through practice, practice, and more practice, you will come to know your subject matter so well that it will be as easy to cover as talking about yourself.

Considering all the work that goes into making a grand presentation, the delivery of the presentation takes the least amount of time but represents the showcase of your efforts, talents, energies, and passion about the material you cover. So deliver with confidence, passion, enthusiasm, and respect for brevity and you might be surprised to find yourself invited back to present again.

Thought of the Day – Family Conflict (Part I): How the Past Affects The Present

Passover was a dreaded holiday for me as a teenager growing up in Allentown, Pennsylvania. It was a time when my uncle, who thought of himself as a “lay Rabbi,” rose at the head of the table and straightened himself out as if he was the Chief Rabbi in the grandest synagogue in Europe. He ceremoniously opened the Haggadah, the text recited at the Seder on the first two nights of the Jewish Passover.

As he began reciting in Hebrew the narrative of the Jewish exodus from Egypt, my aunt looked adoringly at him. At the other end of the table, my mother rolled her eyes, my father grumbled curses under his breath, and I pretended the conflict and anger I saw didn’t exist. In this week’s three-part series, I’ll share some of my thoughts on the nature of family conflicts occurring at holiday gatherings.

Family Conflict and Reduced Inhibition and Expectations

Family gatherings during holidays are supposed to be happy events where we shove personal issues to the side, forgive past wrongs, and the “good” of the family is most important. The expectation is what happened in the past is irrelevant now, and the joy of the moment; Passover, Easter, or other holidays will sooth over unskillful behaviors as warm milk does to an upset stomach. Neither anecdotes are always successful.

Our Present is Based on Our Past

We don’t live in a vacuum where our lives were immaculately conceived. You don’t need to believe in Freudian psychology to understand what a person does in the present carries with them their past.

I’m sure my uncle’s love of the family during the Passover Seder was genuine. For a brief time, he was able to reinterpret or ignore how his past behaviors hurt the family. Unfortunately, those on the receiving end couldn’t forget. Regardless of how genuine his love, my parents couldn’t go beyond his past.

Upcoming Holidays

We would like to think the joy of a holiday or it’s greater meaning will overshadow “petty” disagreements. In the 1960′s many sociologists wrote about the role of rising expectations in social turmoil. They believed inequities and injustices weren’t as important in creating conflicts as was the belief things could be changed.

It may be prudent as you approach the new holiday season to adjust your expectations of what’s possible during your family gathering. You may not have a “want to-be” Rabbi in your family, but don’t expect your cousin’s irksome behaviors that irritated you forever to vanish because you wish they will.

In the next part of this three-part series, I’ll talk about why family truths are always relative. In the final part, I’ll suggest some attitudinal adjustments that worked in my counseling and coaching of families dealing with crises.
