Effective Presentation Skills-For a Beginner

In modern English, Presentations tend to be much less formal than they were even twenty years ago. Most audience these days prefers a relatively informal approach. 

 

Step 1 : Get people's attention

• If I could have everybody's attention.
• If we can start.
• Perhaps we should begin?
• Let's get started.

Step 1 : Welcome them

• Welcome to Thor’s Charity Show.
• Thank you for coming today.
• Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
• On behalf of the company, I'd like to welcome you.

Step 3 : Introduce yourself

• My name's Hawkeye. I'm responsible for travel arrangements.
• For those of you who don't know me, my name's Ben 10.
• I'm the new Marketing Manager.

Step 4 : State the purpose of your presentation

• This morning I'd like to present our new project for the company.
• Today I'd like to discuss on our project achievement so far.
• In this lovely afternoon, me and my group members would be happy to share our experience towards the success of our corporation.
• I am honoured to tell you about our activity that was conducted throughout the year.

Step 5 : State how you want to deal with questions.

• If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them as we go along.
• Feel free to ask any questions.
• Perhaps we can leave any questions you have until the end?
• There will be plenty of time for questions at the end. 

Note: A simple line that could end your presentation mannerly is by just saying “Thank you” to your audience.
