4 Easy Ways to Improve Your Presentation Skills
In this video, I will tell you a few tips regarding your presentation skills to make life a lot easier for you. Have a simple note on a single piece of paper. When you make a mistake, don't look or act embarrassed but keep going. Don't use I word too often like 'hum' or 'you know '. If you want to boost your confidence, practice on your cell phone. Record how to intend to deliver your presentation and listen to yourself.

Dirty Secret of Excellent Presentation Skills
Everybody is scared when it comes to their presentation skills, not only beginners. If you practice your speech or hear your voice coming back on a voicemail and you are uncomfortable with that, it is completely normal. Don't think of yourself as uniquely scared. It scares everybody. Some technologies will make it so much easier for you to get over being scared when it comes to your presentation skills.

Stop Wasting Time on Presentations
This course is about helping you not just to get better at your presentation skills but to help save you time. One of the biggest problems most people have when they are getting ready to give a presentation is they don't know where to start. Forget about researching, gathering information, preparing the slides, graphs, etc. The starting point is to ask yourself one question 'what you want your audience to do after your presentation' .
01:57
How To Make the Audience Do What you Want
Now that you have been able to point out what you want your audience to do after your presentation, now is the time to start brainstorming. You need to brainstorm every idea, fact, message, number that will motivate your audience to do what you want. Mind you, you don't have to talk about everything but what you want your audience to know. In this video, you will learn how to narrow down your message/ideas to just five points.
03:39
Embed Presentations With Relevant Stories
Convey your point with relevant stories so that your audience can remember. Your audience remembering your story a while later is what makes your presentation effective. There is no reason to look and sound like a beginner, and the easiest way to get above the 'being a beginner' or ' being a boring speaker ' is telling a story. Human beings are wired to tell stories and remember stories.
05:53
Free Focus Group
Feedback is helpful and reduces your nerves. When you get feedback, you adjust to it and learn from it. With that, you can get your presentation skills to the point where they improve. Asking for feedback is asking what people remember about your presentation. In this course, I will share with you the way you can ask for feedback.
03:14
Efficient Way to Practice Presentation Skills
The most important advice to help you go from a bad beginner to a good speaker is to practice with your cell phone. After practicing, you watch the video. Do this over and over again until you are confident that that's your best. When you get to that point, it becomes impossible to be nervous or uncomfortable. Practice your presentation on video as many times as possible until you like what you see.
02:24
Passing the Ultimate Test
After making a video, ask for feedback from others – your boss, lawyer, head of public relations. If you are giving a presentation to a customer, client, prospect, get two colleagues at work and test your presentation in front of them. Afterward, ask them what they can remember. You want to go into your next presentation with actual evidence.
02:31
