PODIUM PANIC
Podium Panic
For some people, the thought of
giving a presentation is more
frightening than falling off a cliff,
financial difficulties, snakes and
even death.
Causes of Podium Panic
1. Lack of knowledge.

audience how professional you are.

practice so as to attract them and also to
avoid some objections.
Warm Up
Say the first paragraph loud
Look Forward & Smile
Before saying a word
When You Start Talking
Use as much as eye contact as you can
Start with looking to a friend
Begin with a slow, well prepared
introduction
Do not rush into the core of the
subject, use the first minute to
set the pace.
Introduce yourself and your
company and then greet and
welcome the audience.
How to Use the Slides Effectively
1. Room light should be considered, not so dark since dark
rooms can make the audience feel a sleep
2. Talk to the audience not to the slides (Your eyes should
remain on the audience for 85% of time)
3. Turn face to the audience when you speak
4. Do not read what the audience can read ( it is not a reading
session)
Presentation Time
The presentation consists of three parts:
1. Introduction …. 2 minutes
2. Body … 15 minutes
3. Conclusion … 3 minutes

 After you have drawn the audience's attention, you will move
into the main core of your presentation.
 Try to keep the contents restricted to three or four main
points which constitute the core of your presentation.
Cont. …
Your objective is to make sure that the audience are fully aware
before introducing one of the main points of the presentation,
and this could be achieved by:-
1. Asking rhetoric question just before an important point.
2. Showing a striking visual aids.
Cont. …
e.g.1
We had a look at the spectrum and penetration power of
Ciprofloxacin, let's now have a look at how can this improve your
patient convenience?
Cont. …
e.g. 2
And moving to a very important point in the treatment of these
cases, which is:
How much will it cost your patients?
Can anyone tell me the average cost of a chronic prostatitis
patient?
Cont. …
These two techniques help you to:-
1. Get the key points across to the audience.
2. Frequently remind the audience with the main message.
3. keep the audience's attention and interest through the
presentation.
4. keep an eye on time.

audience has finished listening.”
Dorothy Sarnoff
NEVER
Exceed the Time
Presentation Time
3- Conclusion
It is very important to finish the presentation in a way leaves the
audience thinking about what you have said long after you have
finished.
Cont. …
You can use some signal words such as “finally” or “ as a
conclusion” to start the conclusion.
Cont. …
Many techniques used to strongly end the presentation:
A call to action
 Asking the people to act on what you have told them to gain
the experience on their own.
A quotation
 Very effective, just make sure that it is relevant to your talk.
Cont. …
A challenge
 If your presentation advocates changes, challenge the
audience to try it as many people accept challenges.
A strong summary
 A clear summary of the main points of what you said will be
retained in the audience mind.
Cont. …
In the conclusion, you have to avoid:
1. Ending weakly.
2. Adding any new information.
3. Adding any unimportant points.
4. Going on too long.
5. Using clichés ( I repeat again, as last word)
6. Showing a table or a diagram.
How to Make Audience Remember?
Audience always tend to recall things happened in some
situations, and these situations are:
1. The beginning of the talk
2. Something repeated several times
3. Something unusual that attracted attention
4. Something highlighted by the presenter as of special
importance
5. Something in which the audience involved in as answering
questions
6. The end of the talk
DISCUSSION TIME
Discussion Time
After every presentation, there is a time for questioning, and this
period may enhance the presentation or may not.
Cont. …
Usually, discussion is after the
presentation, and here you will receive
the audience questions about your
subject.
Cont. …
That’s why there is no time limit for the
discussion period, as long as it is productive and
the whole questions are direct to you.
The effective discussion may be a sign of a
successful presentation.
Cont. …
 During the discussion, if you don’t know the answer of a
question say so, without neither hesitation nor
embarrassment.
 If the question is related to the product, take the name and
address of the doctor who gave the question, refer to the
office and send the answer back to him.
CONTROLLING DISCUSSION
Controlling Discussion

2. Make a pause to give yourself time to evaluate the question.
3. If needed, answer the question by a question to give yourself
more time.
4. Repeat the question loud so that everybody can hear it.
Cont. …
5. Credit the person who asked the question
" Thank you very much for this question"
" That's a very important point you raised "
5. Respond to the question honestly.
6. Always after answering any question say " does that reply
your question?' and the "Yes" here is your permission to
move to the next question.

and what may be right for one person is not necessarily right
for another.

The gesture itself
3. The return:
This brings your body back to a balanced posture
Cont. …

Part 3
 Channels of communication
 10 presentation mistakes
10
PRESENTATION MISTAKES
1
You Don't Know Your Topic!
 You memorized the content….
 Someone has a question…..
 Panic sets in
 You never prepared for questions and all you know about this
topic is what is written on the slides.
A Better Scenario
 Know your material so well, that you could easily do the
presentation without an electronic enhancement such as
PowerPoint.
 Nothing will ruin your credibility as a presenter faster, than
not knowing everything about your topic.
 Use key words and phrases and include only essential
information to keep the audience focused and interested. Be
prepared for questions and know the answers.
2
The Slides are Not Your Presentation
 An audience member says that she can't read the slides.
 You graciously tell her you will be reading them and proceed
to do so, while looking up at the screen. Each of your slides in
filled with the text of your speech.
 Why do they need you?
A Better Scenario
 Always remember that you are the presentation. The slide
show should only be used as an accompaniment to your talk.
 Simplify the content, by using bullet points for key
information.
 Keep the most important points near the top of the slide for
easy reading in the back rows.
 Focus on a single topic area for this presentation and use no
more than four bullets per slide.
 Speak to the audience, not to the screen.
3
Too Much Information
 You know so much about the topic, that you jump from here
to there and back again talking about everything there is to
know about your brand new widget, and no one can follow
the thread of the presentation.
A Better Scenario
 Use the K.I.S.S. principle (Keep It Simple Silly) when designing
a presentation.
 Stick to three, or at the most, four points about your topic and
expound on them.
 The audience will be more likely to retain the information.
4
Poorly Chosen Design Template Or Design
Theme
 Blue was a good color for a design template or design theme.
 You found a really cool template/theme on the internet, with
a beach scene. Water is blue, right?
A Better Scenario
 Choose a design that is appropriate for the audience.
 A clean, straightforward layout is best for business
presentations.
 Young children respond to presentations that are full of color
and contain a variety of shapes.
5
Electrifying Color Choices
 Audiences don't like unusual color combinations.
 Some are unsettling and red and green combos can't be
differentiated by those with color blindness.
A Better Scenario
 Good contrast with the background is essential to make your
text easy to read.
 Dark text on a light background is best.
 Off white or light beige is easier on the eyes than the typical
white.
 Dark backgrounds are very effective, if the text is light for easy
reading.
 Patterned or textured backgrounds make text hard to read.
 Keep the color scheme consistent.
6
Poor Font Choices
 Small, script type fonts might look great when you are sitting
18 inches away from the monitor.
 You didn't consider the lady sitting 200 feet away from the
screen who can't read them.
A Better Scenario
 Stick to easy to read fonts such as Arial or Times New Roman.
 Avoid script type fonts which are hard to read on screen.
 Use no more than two different fonts:
1. One for headings
2. Another for content
 No less than a 30 pt font so that people at the back of the
room can read them easily.
7
Extraneous Photos and Graphs
 You figured no one will notice that you didn't do much
research on your topic if you add lots of photos and
complicated looking graphs.
A Better Scenario
 “Time is Money” is really true in today's world.
 No one wants to waste their time sitting through a
presentation with no substance.
 Use photos, charts and diagrams only to emphasize key points
of your presentation.
 They add a nice break to the material, and when used
correctly, can only enhance your oral presentation.
 Illustrate, don't decorate.
8
W-A-Y Too Many Slides
 Your vacation cruise was so fantastic that you took 500
photos, and put them all in a digital photo album to impress
your friends.
 After the first 100 slides, snores were heard in the room.
A Better Scenario
 Ensure your audience stays focused by keeping the number of
slides to a minimum.
 10 to 12 is plenty.
 Some concessions can be made for a photo album, since most
pictures will be on screen for only a short time.
9
Different Animations on Every Slide
 You found all the really cool animations and sounds and used
85% of them in your presentation, to impress everyone with
your flair.
 Except …..
 The audience, doesn’t know where to look, and have totally
lost the message of your presentation.
A Better Scenario
 Animations and sounds, used well, can heighten interest, but
don't distract the audience with too much of a good thing.
 Design your presentation with the "less is more” philosophy.
 Don't let your audience suffer from animation overload.
10
Hardware Malfunctions
 The audience is settled.
 You are all set to start your presentation
 And … guess what?
 The projector doesn't work.
 You didn’t bother to check it out earlier.
A Better Scenario
 Check all the equipment and rehearse your presentation,
using this projector long before your time to present.
 Carry an extra projector bulb.
 If possible, check the lighting in the room you will be
presenting in, prior to your time in the limelight.
 Make sure you know how to dim the lights if the room is too
bright.
THANK YOU

  • 170. 1
