We present ourselves in many ways at work: when conducting interviews; participating in meetings; delivering training; and when giving formal presentations.

A great presentation does not just happen; it is planned, rehearsed then delivered with flair. A great presentation is well structured and delivers an impactful message. Presenters need to consider the purpose, audience and content of their message, plan and practice, and allow room for flexibility and spontaneity.

A good presenter is one who learns the skills of presentations – not one who hopes for talent to carry them. This requires the ability to communicate in a compelling, honest, persuasive, and articulate manner, ensuring the message is clear and understood. Great presenters have credibility, use logic and appeal to the hearts and minds of the audience. You can be a good presenter if you learn the skills for presentation success and you learn from every presentation you deliver.
