Understanding Audience, Why It Is Important for Your Presentation

September 24, 2013 by Muhammad Noer 3 Comments

Who is your audience?

Presentation is made to be presented in front of the audience. A specific audience. Every presentation has its own specific and different audience. You need to deal with them differently.

Understanding your audience—people who will come to attend and listen to you—will help you to understand how they process the information and what they want to hear from a presentation.

This is very important, not only in constructing the content, but also in making adjustments to the entire design of the presentation, to help you influencing the audience effectively.

If we look at the three interrelated components in a presentation, one of the most important key in a presentation is the audience. You are there to give a presentation and create a communication process for them.

Recognizing Your Audience is Very Important

Understanding your audience is a key to create and deliver a great presentation. You cannot offer something interesting to your audience unless you know who they are. You have to know what they need and want from your presentation.

Its hard to expect an effective communication process if you don’t know their point of view when they are listening to you.

As presenter, you will find it difficult to relate yourself with them. Your audience will also have difficulties to understand you.

It can create a situation that will leads to frustration: You are frustrated because you can not make them understand, and they are frustrated because it is difficult to understand you.

You will not encounter this situation if you know your audience well. Your job will be much easier, because you know exactly what they want. You can choose which information should get across and which one is not necessary. Convincing the audience will becomes much easier too, because you understand what factors that influences them to take action.

Recognizing the audience is not just knowing that they are your boss, co-workers, students, or a group of society. Knowing the audience includes knowing their name, their position in the organization, what decision they make, and what they need from your presentation. And, more importantly, why they come to your presentation.

Recognize your audience. This is what distinguishes a great presenter from an ordinary one.

The first thing a great presenter will do is identifying their audience. Then use these valuable information to design a relevant and effective presentation.

Ordinary presenters, that often deliver a monotonous and ineffective presentation feel that it is not important to find out in detail who their audience is. They simply give the same presentation to different audiences.

Every communication is unique. And presentation is a communication. Your audience and the situation surrounding the communication process will influence it’s effectiveness.

Who is the Audience of your presentation?

Before starting to prepare a presentation, find out who will present in your presentation. More information you have will help your readiness to act in a presentation.

In The Art of War, Sun Tzu said, “He who knows his enemy and himself well will not be defeated in a hundred battles. He who knows himself but not his enemy, will have an even chance of victory. He who does not know himself and his enemy, is bound to suffer defeat in all battles.”

In short, Sun Tzu said: “A person who recognize himself, recognize his opponent and recognize the battlefield, will win in every battle.”

A presentation is a battlefield of communications. You want the audience to accept and understand your message as good as possible.

That’s why you have to recognize your strength as a presenter, recognize your opponent (audience and what they expect), and recognize the battlefield (media communication, situation surrounding the presentation, and the specific approach that you may need). With all of this you are ready to win every presentation.

What You Need To Know From the Audience?

We have summarized here several things you need to know about your audience:

Who will present to your presentation?
What is their position in the organization?
What is their educational background, or their job?
What is their level of knowledge about the topic you will deliver?
What is their learning style?
What they like to hear and what they don’t?
What is their purpose in listening to your presentation?
Why they need to listen to you?

Now, you know why understanding the audience is so crucial in a presentation.

Don’t forget that the first thing you have to do every time you prepare a presentation is recognizing your audience. It will help you a lot in creating content and designing the most appropriate communication for them.

What is Presentation?

July 31, 2013 by Muhammad Noer 4 Comments

You have heard many times about presentation.

But do you know what exactly presentation is?

Presentation is a form of communication. In presentation, you communicate a message in an integrated way by using voice, image, and body language.

Hovland, Janis and Kelly define communication as follows:

“The process by which an individual (the communicator) transmits stimuli (usually verbal) to modify the behavior of other individuals (the audience)”

Three Components of Communication

Based on that definition, there are three key components in delivering a good communication:

Communicator
The message and media used
Receiver (audience)

A good communicator needs to craft a good message, using the right media in order to enable the receiver get it.

Successful Communication

Successful communication occurs when the audience accepts and understands a message exactly the same as what is intended by the communicator.

Is it possible to transfer a message 100% similar to what was intended by the communicator?

In theory, of course it is possible.

Well, this could be achieved if the communicator using the right media, the right delivery method, and at the right time. All of this required to minimizes the possibility of information deviation.

But that’s in theory.

In practice, it is impossible. In reality, there are so many variables that make a message or idea is not received 100% the same by the receiver. During the transfer of the message, part of information would be lost in the process.

Therefore, your job as a good communicator and presenter is to minimize the information distortion. To make the information well received by the listeners.

What is The Purpose of A Presentation?

What is the purpose of a presentation?

At least there are two main purpose of presentation: to inform and to persuade.

1. To Inform

We present something to share information. To make people understand what they didn’t know before. Presentation to inform will need to be delivered using a good and clear message. A message that is easily understood by the audience.

2. To Persuade

Most presentation falls in this area. We present something to convince other people to do, buy, or take action that we want.

A sales person will use his presentation to convince other people to buy products or services he sells.

A fundraiser will use his presentation to convince prospective donor to donate their money.

A politician will present to convince people to take action and choose him for the next election.

When you use presentation to persuade or convince, then you need to touch not only the logic, but also the emotion of the audience.

Do it right and you will make the audience taking action that you want.

Presentation Slides

What’s on your mind when you heard about “presentation”?

If you are like most people, you might think about slides. Don’t get trapped into the fallacy that presentation is slide and slide is a presentation.

In modern world, people use slide as a visual aid during presentation. Slides has become the most common tools for a presentation.

But remember, you are the presenter, not the slide.

The slide is only the aid. There are many other tools you can use such as: flipchart, sample of product, demonstration etc.

So, please design a good slide, but don’t forget it is your job to make sure the message get across effectively to the audience.

Presentation and Business

If you are a professional in business, you might use presentation in frequently basis. You need to make a slide deck to report a project. You need to give a presentation in front of key decision maker.

Good presentation skills will help a lot in your success in professional life. Therefore, master the skills of presentation starting from structuring your idea, creating a visual slide, and to deliver it in a convincing way.

How To Make A Good Presentation

If presentation is very important, then how to make a good presentation?

The answer is easy. Make sure your audience understand your message and take action after attending your presentation.

There are three component to make a good presentation: content, design, and delivery.

1. Content

Presentation is about structuring your thought and share it to other people. Make sure you understand what you want to communicate and why. This will help you to define what message to be included and how to deliver it.

Think about your subject and prepare a good structure that help people to understand what is the problem and why they should listen to you and take action on your advice.

2. Design

Since most presentation nowadays will be accompanied by using PowerPoint slides, it will be really helpful if you are able to design a good slide.

How to make a good slide design?

The answer it makes it Keep It Simple and Straight.

Put on thought on a slide, use a strong visual such as picture or diagram, and create a focus so people will understand easily what you are trying to convey.

3. Delivery

Last one, a presentation is made to be delivered to the audience. Learn how to deliver it in a convincing way. If you have good content and good design, this job will be a lot easier.

Practice your presentation so you are able to deliver it smoothly. Great presenter like Steve Jobs practice a lot before the actual session. Practice some technique from public speaking to help you connect with the audience.

Definition of Presentation

Back to the first question, what is presentation?

After reading this article, you can now confidently tell people that presentation is communication.

It is an integrated communications made through sound, image and body language to inform and persuade your audience.

To overcome this issue, I wrote a book which contains thorough explanation about presentation. This book had been prepared after having accomplished necessary matters. Such as doing research based on valuable resources relating to presentation subject, watching the video of remarkable presentations by great presenters and delivering presentations including the one at the TEDx Jakarta.

How to Make a Good and Convincing Presentation?

July 4, 2013 by Muhammad Noer 4 Comments

Are you a student who often has to give presentations in front of your teacher or professor? Or an employee who often has to give presentations in front of your clients or your boss?

Well, whoever you are, I am sure you have experienced nervous or anxious when you have to give a presentation or speaking in front of the public.

A public opinion poll about fear reveals that fear of death stand at the second place of the list after the fear of public speaking that stand at the first place. A result that shows us about just how many people who afraid to speak in front of the public.

Actually, giving a presentation or speaking in front of a public is not as scary as many people imagine. As long as you prepare the presentation properly and willing to practice sufficiently, you will be a able to make a good, convincing and memorable presentation.

Here are some tips that you can use to make a convincing presentation. These tips are based on my experience in giving presentations and public speaking, as well as some presentations training I have attended.

1. Set the goal of your presentation

Every presentation must have a goal. You present a product to make your client buy it. You present business plan proposal to get support and approval from your boss. You explain a topic that you have mastered to make people understand it.

In general, the purpose of presentation is one of these two things: giving information (informative) or persuade the audience to do something (to persuasive).

Goal setting is important because it will determine the way you prepare and deliver the presentation. Presentation to inform will be different than presentation to convince.

An informative presentation need to be designed as informative as possible. The purpose is to help your audience who doesn’t know the topic at all before they attend your presentation become well informed after leaving your presentation.

A persuasive presentation should be able to touch the emotional side of the audience so they willing to change their attitudes as well as encourage them to do something such as: approve your idea, buy your product, or supporting what you’ve done or what you will do.

2. Know your audience

If you don’t know it you won’t love it, a saying that also applied in presentation. Take your time to find out who will come to your presentation. What is their position in the organization, what they expect from your presentation, what is their education background, what is their learning style, and so on.

This is important because basically a presentation is delivering some materials to an audience. Even if you think you have done the best, you can’t expect that the audience that hears you always have the same thought.

By identifying the audience you will be able to decide your presentation approach. Maybe one of your audiences is an important person in the organization who likes graphics and figures. Showing good graphics along with explanations for the numerical data will be a plus. Maybe your prospective audience is a visual learner. She will be pleased with images, diagrams and concrete examples. Then you can decide to add more images into your slides.

In another occasion you might have audience with kinesthetic learning style. Demonstrating something in front of people like this will give a stronger impact. If necessary, you can bring the product or anything you can use as a model during the presentation.

And if you find your audience consists of people with a mixture of learning style, just combine all approach proportionately.

3. Make a presentation framework

In general, a presentation consists of three parts; opening, content, and closing.

Opening part is a place where you can give an early description of the presentation topic and goal. Content is a part where you can explain your materials structure, starting with the background, problems, and solution you want to offer. And the closing part consist of your summary for the topic and a call for action to the audience, which could be buying your product, accepting your idea, or a better understanding about your topic.

As the first step in making the framework, you can create a mind map to describe the main ideas or keywords of anything you will explain in your presentation. Mind mapping will make you easier to see the whole description of your presentation and the main points that should be delivered so that the audience will completely understand and accept it.

In your mind map be sure to pay a lot more attention to the opening and closing part. These two parts is more important than the other, because it will be remembered most by the audience as well as the opportunity for you to get their attention. But it doesn’t mean that the other part is not important.

Some methods you can use in the opening part are asking question, giving a quote, statement, story, or humor. If you think it is necessary, you can memorize it. A good opening that flowing easily will build-up your self-confidence to go to next step of your presentation.

Closing part is a place where you summarize the substance of the whole presentation. This part is very important because it is your chance to give something that will always be remembered by the audience after they leave the room. Be sure to prepare it well.

4. Prepare presentation slides and other visual aids.

It is hardly to find a presentation without any PowerPoint slides or similar programs these days. To prepare a good slide there is only one principle, “Keep It Simple”. Why? Your audience wants to hear about a complicated things in a simple way. Not the other way around.

Please note that the slide presentation is a visual aid, not the presentation itself. “You are the presenter, not the slide.” It is you that will determine attractiveness of your presentation. As long as the visual aids are in line with the messages you give verbally, you can use it. But if this aid makes the audience more confused instead, don’t use it.

A principle you need to know in preparing slides is; display only the main and significant point. Never make a slide that display detailed information and put in everything you would say. This will make your audience get bored easily. They will prefer to read the slides and no need to hear your explanation anymore. Your presentation will miss the goal.

Here are some tips to make an effective slide:

Don’t use too much text on a slide
Use images, diagrams and tables to explain a concept, data and facts
Don’t make a complex design because it will be harder to understand in a short time and tends to make the audience weary and not focus on what you are saying.

I will explain about how to make an effective slide specifically in this posting.
Remember that slide is not the only aids in a presentation, there are many other tools that you can use such as: flipchart, product samples, videos, and even your own body language. If you decide to use it, just prepare it carefully.

5. Practice

Practice make perfect. This also apply in preparing an important presentation. The more you practice the more skilled you are. It will be a good idea to invite your friends to listen to your presentation. Ask them to give comment to your materials, your presentation style and get their feedback on which part still need improvement.

Practice will also help you to know about how well you’ve prepared and mastered the materials. Think about your audience stand point while practicing: do they know the materials, what is their concern to this presentation, what questions they might ask, and what they expect from the presentation. By answering these questions you will be well prepared.

6. Relax

Relax and enjoy your presentation. Most people get anxious once they start talking in front of people. It could happen to you, too. But you don’t have to be panic. Some level of nervous is normal. In fact, even a great public speaker also experiences this feeling. Use the nervous energy to help you focus on yourself and what you have to say in the presentation.

You have to relax to calm down yourself. In this condition, it will be easier to recall anything you’ve memorized and practice. And it will help you to deliver a good and convincing presentation.

A simple tips to reduce nervousness and get relax is close your eyes, take a deep breath, and releases it slowly. Do this several times, and you will feel fresher and more relax.

That’s the tips to prepare a convincing presentation. In next posting, I will explain about how to deliver the presentation, started from the opening (using humor, quotes, or questions as the opening part of presentation), content, and closing.

Do you have other tips in making a good presentation?
