You will be giving presentations regularly – informally to small groups of your team through to much more formal presentations to larger audiences.  Per a Forbes survey, 70% of managers say presentation skills are critical for career success. 

When you need to use your presentation skills at work, there are three main areas to consider:
1. The purpose of your presentation
2. How to manage your emotions before and during the presentation
3. Our body language and use of voice while presenting at work

The first presentation tip is to really think about your audience and what they want from your presentation. Address what they want as clearly as possible. Or this might be educating your audience on what they need but don’t know about yet.

When giving a presentation at work, it is very useful to know what the purpose is behind giving the presentation. This helps you structure your presentation to fulfil its purpose.

When thinking about how to do presentation at work, particularly when you are using slides, limit the number of key messages you are giving otherwise the audience will forget half of them. We also have a lot more tips on structuring so you know how to present like a pro.

Managing your own emotions, fears and anxieties before and during giving a presentation at work is also key, particularly if you have not had presentation skills training. I share times on how to manage your voice and body language. 

Then to end, I share tips on how to practice a presentation. There is lots that you can do to prepare and practice your presentation so that it comes across much more naturally and you are a lot more confident when presenting. 

Presenting at work is a vital skill to progress your career (70% confirmed this in a Forbes survey) so do that the time to improve your skills.
