Oral communication is one of the most valued skills in a professional career, and knowing how to make good presentations will be highly appreciated in your professional environment. Today, we’re here to give you the ultimate </span><b>top-notch tips to teach you the best way to start your presentation confidently and stylishly</b><span style="font-weight: 400">. Sit tight and get ready to learn some good tips that will make your presentations shine!</span></p> <h2><b>1. Star with a banging hook</b></h2> <p><b>Your presentation needs a killer opening for guaranteed success</b><span style="font-weight: 400">. Think of your starting line like casting out a golden hook – the only way you’ll reel in an audience is with something that captures their curiosity and intrigue from the get-go! It could be </span><b>an eye-opening statistic, or maybe even just asking them one powerful question</b><span style="font-weight: 400">. Whatever creative bait you use, make sure it isn’t too far off course from your main topic. Otherwise, they’re likely to take back their attention pretty quickly!</span></p> <h2><b>2. Establish clear expectations</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">When you’re traveling heading to an unknown destination, wouldn’t you want to have a map to guide you along the way? Similarly, when giving a presentation, it’s critical to </span><b>give your audience a roadmap of what they can expect to hear</b><span style="font-weight: 400">. Besides, there’s nothing worse than getting lost in the middle of nowhere. </span><b>Keep it clear and concise</b><span style="font-weight: 400"> – with this guideline in hand, your public will be more likely to happily join you on your journey!</span></p> <h2><b>3. Quote an important figure</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">As the old saying goes, “To make a good first impression, dress up like a million bucks.” Well, we’re not suggesting you turn up in a designer suit, but making a strong entrance with some inspiring words can draw a distinction. </span><b>Find an influential person, or choose one that has earned respect from your listeners</b><span style="font-weight: 400">, and cleverly quote this wisdom </span><b>in brief but meaningful lines</b><span style="font-weight: 400">. In case you need some inspiration, have a look at <a href="https://wepik.com/blog/inspirational-and-motivational-quotes-for-small-business-owners/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wepik’s blog article with some inspirational quotes</a> to start with.</span></p> <p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-683 aligncenter" src="https://mediablog.cdnpk.net/sites/10/2022/12/wepik-aesthetic-motivational-text-desktop-wallpaper-20221113-10548.jpeg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><a href="https://wepik.com/template/aesthetic-motivational-text-desktop-wallpaper-r-1034621176" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="button">Get Motivational Desktop Wallpaper</a></p> <h2><b>4. Engage with your audience</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Connecting with the people attending your presentation is like winning over new friends – you’ve got to </span><b>find common ground in order to establish a personal relationship </b><span style="font-weight: 400">with them! There are several captivating techniques to achieve this effect:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400"><b>Share a personal story related to your topic</b><span style="font-weight: 400">: this allows you to create an emotional connection with your listeners and makes you more relatable. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400"><b>Narrate your speech as a story</b><span style="font-weight: 400">: keep the public engaged so the information stick in their minds. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400"><b>Use some humor</b><span style="font-weight: 400">: inject some well-timed jokes or entertaining anecdotes. It doesn’t have to be a stand-up comedy (unless that’s your thing) – just a few lighthearted moments to keep the mood upbeat. </span></li> </ul> <h2><b>5. Use repetition and silence</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">To maintain focus and keep your cool during a presentation, it’s strongly recommended to repeat concepts in a simple way. </span><b>Repeating can help reinforce your main message, and ensure your audience doesn’t get lost in the weeds</b><span style="font-weight: 400">. Additionally, well-placed silences can work wonders – </span><b>pauses in speech create an air of anticipation, and force your public to focus on what you’re about to say next</b><span style="font-weight: 400">. Just make sure your quiet moments aren’t too awkward: take a deep breath, repeat yourself when needed, and embrace the power of peacefulness!</span></p> <h2><b>6. Take care of your body language</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">During a presentation, body language is like the Batman to your Robin – it’s a sidekick that can make or break your performance. </span><b>Maintain eye contact and make movements toward the stage to convey your enthusiasm and confidence</b><span style="font-weight: 400">. And don’t forget about </span><b>controlling your facial expressions </b><span style="font-weight: 400">– nothing can throw off your attendees more than a face that doesn’t match the situation. So smile, frown, nod, or raise your eyebrows, but do it at the proper time and purpose. </span></p> <h2><b>7. Rely on visual support</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Pictures are like thousand-word storytellers, and when it comes to giving a presentation, they can be worth their weight in gold. </span><b>Incorporating images, charts, or graphs will not only keep your audience’s attention but also make complex concepts easier to understand</b><span style="font-weight: 400">. After all, a picture speaks more than a thousand words, right? </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Make a statement by using any of Wepik’s </span><a href="https://wepik.com/templates/presentations" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b>free presentation templates </b></a>or creating it with the <b><a href="https://wepik.com/ai-presentations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AI presentation maker</a></b><span style="font-weight: 400"> – perfect for crafting projects that reflect your unique style!</span></p> <p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-1110 aligncenter" src="https://mediablog.cdnpk.net/sites/10/2023/04/Free-presentation-templates-from-Wepik.jpg" alt="Collection of presentation templates to create your own with Wepik's online editor." width="3668" height="2064" /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><a href="https://wepik.com/templates/presentations" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="button">Find more Presentation Templates</a></p> <h2><b>8. Finish with a call-to-action</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Ok, you’ve just wowed the public with an unforgettable lecture: they’re engaged, inspired, and ready to take on the world, but what’s next? Don’t leave your audience hanging – include a call to action that encourages them to act or make a change based on your words. Whether it’s signing up for a newsletter, visiting a website, or taking a specific action,</span><b> a clear request can ensure the momentum from your presentation carries on beyond the walls of the conference room</b><span style="font-weight: 400">. </span></p> <h2><b>9. Practice, practice and practice</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Does practice make perfect? More like practice makes presentations! For an outstanding speech, it’s essential to rehearse (preferably in front of a mirror or supportive friends, family, or even pets). </span><b>Practicing can help you perfect the timing, delivery, and nuances, as well as boosting your confidence</b><span style="font-weight: 400">. Plus, it always feels good to know what you’re talking about. Just like a musician rehearses before a concert, or an actor rehearses before a performance: practicing is the key to success.</span></p> <p> </p> <p>Starting a presentation can be a daunting task, especially if you’re new to public speaking. However, with the <strong>right preparation and mindset</strong>, you can deliver a presentation that engages your audience and leaves a lasting impression. By <strong>incorporating the tips discussed</strong> in this post, you can start your presentation with confidence and set the stage for a successful delivery.
