Other Added - Presentations - Proper Preparation Prevents Pretty Poor Performance
You settle down to watch the movie. Aliens have landed – everybody panics and waits for the hero to arrive with a plan to save the planet. Until someone screams, “But he’s on annual leave this week!” We all hope that somebody, somewhere will take care of whatever disasters affect our workplace – fi

Sometimes after you secure IT service contracts, you might be afraid that your customers might give you more than you can handle, or that you won't be able to deliver service on time. But not to worry - if you fully prepare yourself and follow specific guidelines you will be able to follow through with yo
1. Environment – where will the presentation take place? Does the size and layout of the room suit your purposes? Is it to be formal of informal? Are all the necessary facilities available?
What kind of aids do you need? Would some props would be useful? If using technology, always have a back-up so that a technical failure does not bring everything to a halt.
How much time have you got? 30 minutes sounds a long time, but can go very quickly, particularly if people are asking questions.
2. Audience - who are they? How many will there be and what do they already know? Should your language be technical or colloquial? What kind of questions might they ask? Are they friendly or do they need convincing?
3. Objective – what are you trying to achieve here? Using that reliable old technique, the SMART objective, will help you here. In other words your objective should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic/Relevant and Timebound.

A study a couple of years ago found that 63% of executives were making fewer business trips because of technology.Instead of a plane trip, face-to-face meetings and a plane trip back, they used email, videoconferencing, or online meetings, according to the Accountemps study.If you're a manage

I step outside my back door and look at some large limbs lying on the ground. They are all dead. We've had the remnants of Hurricane Frances and Ivan come through here the past ten days. We've had lots of rain with manageable winds. Even so, the storms have done their work and alot more than I have the tim

Successfully selling your product again and again is the goal of every business owner, entrepreneur, and sales professional.

Franchising involves an almost symbiotic relationship between the franchisee and the franchisor. The franchisee provides expansion, additional profit and increased brand recognition while the franchisor provides the basic know how, brand name, supply chain, and continuing support for the franchisee. To p
4. Structure – you need to have a clear structure so that people will follow what you are saying. My favourite is the 5-part structure of: Attention-grabber – an interesting anecdote or maybe some unexpected fact or statistic.
Introduction – tell them what you are going to tell them and why!
Main body – see Content below.
Conclusion – sum up your arguments neatly.
Link back to the attention-grabber to close.
5. Content - keep it short and simple. It is tempting to stick in lots of detail to show how knowledgeable you are, but you may only succeed in sending the audience to sleep. Never pretend to know more than you do. It is very embarrassing to get caught out!
Having got this far, you now need to practise your presentation, preferably with a sympathetic but objective observer to give you feedback. Only by talking out loud will you become comfortable with your material and discover what flows well when spoken, as opposed to what reads well on the page. You may need to make adjustments to avoid stumbling over words or to clarify their meaning. Keep practising until you feel completely comfortable with the content - this is one time when trying to fly by the seat of your pants
