“The best presenters are the best at what they do because…..”

We are often asked what makes a good presenter. Here are our top ten qualities which we set out in our “Maximising Business Presentations” workshop.

1. Show they care

2. Are passionate about their subject.

3. Speak confidently, clearly and purposefully.

4. Are credible and sincere.

5. Communicate a clear message which can be understood and remembered.

6. Are likeable, relaxed and make their audience feel comfortable.

7. Inspire their audience by coming out with new and original ideas.

8. Keep their presentation short, simple, entertaining.

9. Understand their audience’s needs and answer them in their presentation.

10. Listen and watch.

You may be surprised that “Listen and watch” is our number 10. How does this aid your speaking ability? It helps you ‘be in the room’ with your audience and stops you ‘being in your head’. As a result you are more in tune and you can alter your message to fit any changing circumstances.

When you show your audience you’re listening they can see you care, which neatly brings us back to our number 1 quality.

“The closest thing to being cared for is to care for someone else.” Carson McCullers
