The Presentation Skills You Really Need

 

At some point in your professional career, there is a very good chance you will be required to give a presentation. For some professionals, this is a common occurrence; for others, it is something that happens relatively infrequently. But whether you have given five presentations or 500, there are certain skills you need. Here are a few tips to make your next presentation the best yet.

 

Be Prepared

The most important presentation skill is being prepared. But that can mean different things to different presenters. For some, being prepared means checking out the presentation space beforehand, knowing where you’re going, understanding how the digital systems work, and ensuring any props are in the room. For others, being prepared means having an in-depth knowledge of the material they’ll be presenting. Still others feel that being prepared means they’ve rehearsed their presentation multiple times before getting in front of a group. Regardless of how you define it, being prepared allows you to feel comfortable with your material and the environment where you are presenting.

Why are presentation skills critical for today’s professional?

Presentation skills are incredibly important in the current business landscape. A few years ago, there weren’t many businesses using Microsoft Teams and Skype. Now almost every organization uses some type of collaboration tool. That means users must be more educated on the tools and be ready to present their ideas in real time. Just about anyone on a project could be called to present their research, findings, or task or status on a project. That information isn’t always rolled up to leadership to present. The presenters I admire organize their ideas and thoughts and write them down so when called to present, the information is delivered clearly and concisely.
