A good leader has to develop and clarify their presentations for a meeting. Through their speeches and presentations, group leaders establish definitions and purposes for their own actions and others members. In the art of public speaking the three “P’s” are taken into serious consideration. They are: planning, preparing, and presenting. Planning a presentation is a part of developing, the leader determines strategy, analyze audiences, select the medium and delivery method, and organize and establish logical structure.
Preparing a presentation, to achieve the greatest impact, the preparation consists of developing the introduction, body, and conclusion; crating the graphic; testing the flow and logic; editing and proofreading; and practicing. Presenting effectively and with greater confidence, when it is time to present, the leader will need to concentrate on the delivery style, focusing particularly on eye contact, stance, speech, and overall effect. Since much of the success of the leader’s presentation will be determined by how the audiences perceives the speaker right at the beginning, the leader should be prepared to establish expertise and value to the audience immediately and maintain that positive ethos throughout.
The best way to project a positive ethos is to believe in what we are saying and to be fully prepared. As common as it may sound, nothing will take the place of preparation. To deliver an effective presentation we must be prepared. When presenting, the leader needs to do the following: focus our energy on our audience, create and maintain rapport, adopt a secure stance, establish and maintain eye contact, project and vary our voice, demonstrate our message with gestures, adjust our pace of delivery based on the audience response, and relax and be ourselves.
