What Makes a Great Presenter?
LISTEN!
A great presenter goes beyond just being good. They possess exceptional qualities that can captivate and inspire their audience.
Here are eleven qualities that make a great presenter:
1. Authenticity A great presenter is authentic, genuine, and relates easily to an audience. This helps to establish trust and rapport with them.
2. Charisma
A great presenter has charisma and a magnetic personality that draws people in and keeps them engaged.
3. Storytelling Stories, when told well, make an emotional connection with an audience. A great presenter is a skilled storyteller who can use narrative to convey complex ideas in a way that is memorable and impactful. Those stories reinforce the points of the speaker’s presentation.
4. Visual aids Visual aids such as images, videos, and diagrams can enhance a presentation and make it more engaging and memorable. A great presenter has mastered this element of presenting.
5. Creativity Doing something out of the ordinary will capture the attention of an audience and be more memorable than ordinary presentations.
6. Humor Appropriate humor can break the ice, lighten the mood, and make presentations more enjoyable. A great presenter has that skill.
7. Clarity A great presenter communicates their message with clarity and precision. They use simple words and phrases that are easy to understand.
8. Empathy A great presenter has empathy for their audience. They understand their needs, concerns, and interests, and tailor their presentation accordingly.
9. Passion Passion trumps everything! Add knowledge plus technique, which a great presenter does, and that speaker will own the audience!
10. Confidence A great presenter has “Confidence in their Competence,” and exudes it. This helps establish credibility and authority with their audience.
11. Preparation A rule of thumb for preparation for TEDTalk presenters I’ve coached is: “One hour of preparation for every minute of presentation.” A great presenter does this and more, meticulously, leaving no stone unturned in their research and planning, and rehearses their delivery until it is flawless.
Overall, a great presenter is someone who can inspire, inform, and entertain their audience, leaving a lasting impression long after the presentation is over.
Embrace the eleven qualities of a great presenter and I guarantee your presentations will be absolutely, positively – NO SWEAT!
