1 st Rule of Great Presentations You can be a good presenter if you learn the skills for presentation success.
What Would You Like to Learn? How to present? How to improve your presentations? How to stop being scared?
STOP! It’s not a presentation. . . It’s a conversation. You are sharing information with people that want and/or need that information. They want you to succeed. WE’RE ALL CHEERING FOR YOU!
Fear “According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy. ” - Jerry Seinfeld, stand-up comedian, actor, writer, and producer
Fear The fear is irrational. One way to fight it is to do it.
Glossophobia The list of treatments for Glossophobia include: Ø Behavior therapy Ø Psychotherapy Ø Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) Ø Exposure therapy Ø Relaxation techniques Ø Medication Always seek professional medical advice about any treatment or change in treatment plans.
“A book may give you excellent suggestions on how best to conduct yourself in the water, but sooner or later you must get wet, perhaps even strangle and be half scared to death. There a great many wetless bathing suits worn at the seashore, but no one ever learns to swim in them. To plunge is the only way. ” - Dale Carnegie, The Art of Public Speaking
Why Do a Presentation? “Public speaking is the art of diluting a two-minute idea with a two-hour vocabulary. ” - John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35 th President of the United States

Communicate with Power! Can you communicate with power? Give it a try using this short speech by a grand master of speaking over sixty years ago.
TRY IT! “Never give in. Never, never — In nothing great or small, large or petty. Never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. ” - Winston Churchill
The Material Distractions can be good! Give out something. Pass something around. Timing is everything… Control the distractions.
Be Honest “Honesty is such a lonely word. Everyone is so untrue. Honesty is hardly ever heard. And mostly what I need from you. ” - Billy Joel, American musician and pianist
Some Rules for Humor • Make sure YOU think the joke or lines are funny • Be able to repeat the piece confidently and comfortably • Be sure your choice is not offensive to anyone (gender, race, age, disability, politics)

Your Message • Make your point • Explain it • Make it again For example: What 3 main points will you remember from this presentation?
Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff When things go wrong… Notice this doesn’t say “IF things go wrong…” How do you react? Do NOT make excuses! Do NOT throw your team under the bus! Do NOT apologize! SIMPLY MOVE ON!!
ALWAYS be ready! • Practice speeches that you will never make • Be ready to make an impromptu speech • Do not miss the opportunity LISTEN!!!
Be Enthusiastic • There is no substitute for your excitement • Show your passion • Act as if this is the most important thing in the world!
Be Yourself • Don’t try to imitate others • Don’t try to shelter your emotions • Don’t be afraid to expose a bit of your humanity
