Making effective presentations

Rubin Hotel Business Center, 1118 Budapest, Dayka Gábor u. 3.

Some people appear to have a natural talent for speaking in public. It is as if they had stood up in front of groups of people and talked confidently and in a relaxed, authoritative style all their lives. Yet, for other people, the prospect of delivering a presentation brings strong feelings of anxiety and apprehension.

Even more so if the language of the presentation is not one's mother tongue. Managers working in a multicultural environment might have experienced the loss of confidence when faced with the necessity of having to persuade, convince or simply demonstrate in English.

Delivering a presentation is, however, as much a skill as other methods of communication, such as letter writing or interviewing. By applying a few basic techniques and idioms, all of us can enhance the effectiveness of our presentations.
