7 Steps for Powerpoint Presentations

Step 1: Define your purpose. The first question every presenter has to determine is, Why am I presenting? Is it to inform, entertain or persuade?

Step 2: Profile your audience. You should always analyze your audience’s need and motivations.

Step 3: Map your structure. Presenting is essentially story telling. And all good stories need structure.

Step 4: Add drama and impact. Even the most boring factual presentations needs livening up with anecdotes, stories or captivating visuals.

Step 5: Rehearse until perfect. The more you rehearse, the better you get.

Step 6: Deliver with style. The way you deliver is as, if not more important than your content.

Step 7: Review and Revise. The best presenter learn from their mistakes by continually evaluating their performance.
