Seminars to Help You Take Your Next Step
Frequently asked questions
First, you should have a clear understanding of your target audience. Who is sitting in front of you? What are your listeners’ expectations, interests, and prior knowledge? What language and what information are relevant to them?
Based on this, you’ll structure your presentation so that it is tailored precisely to your target audience and achieves the desired effect.
Stage fright is part of giving a presentation. Even experienced presenters are often nervous before an important presentation.
You can reduce your stage fright by preparing your presentation thoroughly in advance and, in particular, by practicing important or unfamiliar presentations several times. As you gain more experience, it becomes easier to manage your nerves.
If you want your presentation to be persuasive or to influence a decision, a well-structured presentation will help you. A well-planned presentation structure helps you hold your audience’s attention.
To do this, you’ll develop a narrative arc—from the opening that captures the audience’s interest, through the key messages, to the decision or action you want to achieve with your presentation.
If you want to convince your boss of a proposal, you should first try to see things from his perspective.
What is important to him? What are his goals? What risks or opportunities interest him? What information does he need to make his decision?
If you structure your argument from your boss’s perspective, your proposal will be more relevant and persuasive to him.
First, ask yourself: Who is my audience? What are their goals and interests? What information do they need to make a good decision?
What matters isn’t what’s important to you as the project manager, but what’s relevant to your audience. A compelling presentation, therefore, focuses on the audience’s perspective.
Tailor your presentation specifically to the needs of the steering committee. First, consider what decisions you want to achieve and what information the committee needs to make those decisions.
A common mistake made by project managers is to present too many technical details and points that, while interesting from a technical standpoint, are not relevant to the actual decision.
In the Steering Committee, you should therefore focus on the figures, data, and facts relevant to decision-making—particularly economic impacts, costs, benefits, risks, and alternative courses of action.
