Five steps for a great presentation
by Peter Urs Bender
<br><br>
(NC)-In work and in life, we frequently must "present ourselves" to others.  Job interviews.
Sales presentations. Business proposals. Family events.  Your success depends on your ability
to communicate effectively.  There are five essential elements of a great presentation:
<br><br>
1. Speech<br>
2. Body Language<br>
3. Equipment (if you use this)<br>
4. Environment<br>
5. Preparation<br>
<br><br>
All of these are important.  Think of it this way.  Would you have a powerful presentation if
you:
<br><br>
*had nothing to say? (speech)<br>
*looked like you don't care (body language)<br>
*showed computer graphics and your PC does not work? (equipment)<br>
*had a room so hot that your audience was falling asleep? (environment)<br>
*forgot to prepare your presentation? (preparation)<br>
NOT LIKELY!
<br><br>
You will never have control over all the conditions. But make sure you take control over the
ones that you do.  Always be prepared to give the best presentation of your life.
