Effective PresentationsThis is a featured page

Good presentation skills - crucial in all areas of business and a key factor in whether we succeed or not. Recent research shows that 14%
of Germans need to give presentations in their jobs. And 28% need to listen to them!

Effective Presentations - Know Howe for English! A well organised presentation with a clear structure is easier for the audience to follow. Learn at least your introduction and closing words by heart. Then learn how to adapt your structure to the audience. Remember the rule:

Beginning
Body
Conclusion
Familiar? You'd be surprised how many presenters ignore this simple rule!

The beginning should introduce the subject and give a brief idea of what's to come. A bit like a contents page in a book.

The body should be the contents page in more detail. Follow the rule of three. Three separate points are probably enough in a short presentation: Who/What? How? Why?

The conclusion is what the audience will remember most easily. So it should be a summary of the main points.
