Thanks for this insightful article. You certainly touch on some relevant points.

From my practice as a presentation skills trainer I actively combat some of the common myths people hold about the quality of their own presentation skills. Although a lot of stress is put on the outcome of a presentation, I am always astounded to see just how seldom people actually get individualized feedback in the workplace on just how well they present.

That’s why, working in small groups, I let my participants first experience how powerful their own sense of observation can be with others in the group. Then I guide them through exercises which give them a more realistic view of their own presentation experience. We then focus on 1 or 2 key areas that exponentially enhance their existing skill as a presenter. I also make sure people are aware of effective ways to continue implementing their learnings from the workshops on the job in the months to come.

Here is a list of the 8 most common myths about presentations I’ve encounted in my 15+ years of practice as a trainer: http://tinyurl.com/nq8hk7

Thanks for sharing such a great post. according to me, lectures are very different from presentations. Presentation is very interesting. Try to use PowerPoint for good presentations. This helps to attract the audience. A person needs to have the right presentation skills for making effective presentation. Presentation should be interesting or else the audience is lost. You need lot of planning and practice. Mind maps are very popular and are effective in making good presentation.

As one who learnt the art of confidence at a much older age I appreciate a good teacher. Jane Koika (a trainer at George Patterson Bates) thought me to breathe – and to learn my topic.

NLP (as taught by Andrew) helped me to learn about my management of state.

Here’s to Centre Stage being a helpful resource for young kids. Tasha tends to be a very timid child but the support of the teachers at the school is helping her to become a confident child.
