How to give successful presentations ? (Part II) Energy: Most of people forget that! The energy means, what your feelings will provoke to the audience. I’m not just talking about inspiring TED presentations. You can put feelings even presenting a report, for example, you’re showing trough a slide presentation to your boss or to your colleagues the increasing or decreasing of something talking in a way that will provoke satisfaction, unsatisfaction, fear, proud, engagement! Don’t just give the information, incite a reaction, a solution. Leaders do that! • How are you feeling? If you aren’t sick, GREAT! Forget all your problems and be brilliant, be pleasant with your audience. • What feeling wish you provoke? As I said don’t just give an information, provoke some emotion! • Use your voice in your favour! The voice is the biggest tool/instrument we have. It can bring an opportunity to create a good energy around you presentation. • Incite a reaction/ a reflection. Material • What kind of presentation will you make? In some organizations, there is presentation model with a structural design to follow a system of exposure. If you are free to decide yours, choose an interesting and clean template, do not put long texts, and prefer to put short information as a complement. Your talk is more important. • Use reliable sources! Find reliable sources to base your subject. • Use videos and illustrations. Use videos and photos that represent well what you want to transmit, try to use short videos and the illustrations should be in a high quality. • Less is more! The coolest slide don’t will reach all the expectations, if you aren’t sure about how much creative you can be, prefer to do a simply presentation, clean templates, putting the essential information without grammatical mistakes. Interaction • Be accessible in your talk! If you are comfortable you’ll sound friendly, remember that you’re sharing not teaching a knowledge an information, use a vocabulary in common with your audience, make them comfortable to watch you and be friendly with you when they decide to make a question. • Move yourself! Don’t stay stand in the same position, move yourself, move your arms, walk a little bit and breathe well, because when we stop to breathe we stop to think.

How to give successful presentations ? PART I Of course, there are many ways to present, according of the organizational context, in diplomatic, political, scientific occasion etc. The way to communicate has changed during the decades, at the same time in which the language is transformed by the social reality, the environment in question, and the way people think, the way people act and because of the actual needs of your audience. For example, nowadays, in the world of business, the formality is not the same with the increase of young entrepreneurs and the internet influence in the market, the communication are more informal and more objective as result. Therefore, considering the social and the business context, the presentations became more a kind of interaction than an exposure, even when the audience stay in silence. I’ll explain why. CONSIDER THESE 6 POINT Audience: The people who you’ll interact. • Who are them? To know who they are, will give you confidence and will can drive you presentation without mistakes. Knowing what offend them, what they disapprove. • They know about your subject? Try to Certificate yourself about it, it’s extremely important because you’ll know how long will be your introduction and how many concepts you should give. • How much your subject is important to them? Even when they know or do not know about the subject, you have to have idea about the relevance to them; try to make evident this importance choosing applied examples, using familiar characteristics to help them better understand you. Subject: the object of you talk • Why you’ll talk about it? Remember to yourself the object of this talk, and how this presentation will attend the purpose. • Have you a purpose? Find a purpose, no matter what is it, but have awareness in what you want to cause to your audience it’s important, it can brings sense to you, and make them identify with. • Do you know enough about the subject? Yeah, nobody in the room should know more about the theme than you, of course, not always you’ll be the best in a specific subject. It’s can depends, but try to know the most you can. You should select well the important points, and build a clear structure in which would be interesting and easy to drive your talk. Remember this knowledge will be shared, this knowledge it isn’t only yours, try to make it really clear to you first! This will help you lead well with questions in a wise way if you know that you are just sharing not teaching.

Social medias Nowadays we used to be connected in many social medias at the same time every single day. More and more we can be losing time being interacting in a not strategical way, I mean, all of these platforms can be very useful to us, but to use them without wisdom can make them a personal and serious problem. But, what's exactly a strategical way to use social medias? Well, haha, this is too relative, but in my opinion considering my personal experience, maybe we just have to priorize our objectives, for example, (what am I doing here connected on Italki?) Looking for ways to improve my language skills, and by consequence help other to improve too! To establish time for this it's important too, for example, how many times I'll came here during the week and how is the level of importance that I give to the languages that I'm studying? (If you are learning more than one) So, this is my tip and opinion of today! :)
