Overview

You likely already know that preparation is key to delivering an effective presentation. However, you might not know what steps to take in your preparation process. Emma introduces a four-step process of setting an intention, finding your voice before writing, crafting content that interests you and making the content relatable.

Key learning objectives:

  • Understand how to set a clear intention for your presentation

  • Identify the type of content that will suit your audience

  • Understand why content must be relatable to be impactful

Summary
  1. Set a clear intention for your presentation

    What is relevant for the audience? Always have them in mind, what do they want to know and why. 

  2. Find your voice, and then write

    For this preparation, you might need to push outside your comfort zone. Stand up and speak out loud. See what comes out, record it and/or write it down. If you never practice out loud, it will be the first time you will hear yourself say those words. 

  3. your energy will be contagious!

    If you are bored, the audience will be bored. If you seem doubtful, the audience may distrust you. So craft content that interests you, and that you are comfortable and confident with as it will flow and engage better. 

  4. Make it relatable

    Use examples drawn from your experience. The audience will clearly grasp what you are saying. When we use real cases, our tone of voice fluctuates more. We are more animated and less monotonous.
