Module 6 Module 6.1 BIZ101 - Business Communications © Laureate International Universities 2016 This week Communicating to Audiences Working with audiences Making Presentations Assessment 3 The role of presentations Presentations may be used to: Launch a new product Introduce a business Provide information or updates to employees Teach skills Improve knowledge Demonstrate services or products Describe and display destinations 3 NSI-Ryde-Food & Beverage-810-Event Management QMS Version1 22/08/08 To be reviewed 30/11/08 Helen Hipsley 3 Types of oral presentations Prepared / Scripted Impromptu Memorised Briefings for staff before and after service / opening times / closing Team briefings 4 Role of the Audience The role of the audience will contribute to the success of a presentation, so remember: audience involvement can enhance interest throughout the presentation audience feedback should be encouraged to consider audience needs have been provided for, and any adjustments required have been made accordingly. (e.g. Disabled access) if the audience is external to the firm, ensure the firm is promoted positively throughout the presentation (logo and brand) 5 Working with audiences When presenting consider who is you audience as this will help you to identify: Language Verbal and non-verbal skills Attire / dress Verbal vs non-verbal skills? Which ones will be important for assessment task 3? In addition – how will you present as an online student? Considerations Business communication need to consider the audience and their expectations are associated with the particular type of event they are creating. Who the audience is? What are their expectations? What you are trying to accomplish in the presentation? What technology and other equipment is available – wifi, sound, technical support? Is everyone present or will there be videoconferencing and attendees dialling in remotely? Will there be a Q&A live using social media such as Twitter or Facebook (more popular at conferences) 8 Tell them something new - What new knowledge can you share for the assessment presentation that is not in your report? Structure You are the storyteller, so your story needs to flow – it makes it easier for the audience to follow: Business communications for presentations: Beginning, middle & end Introduction, body & conclusion Past, present, future Situation, action & outcomes… 9 Structure: Beginning – 10% Be welcome (smile!) Introduce yourself and the topic Involve the audience…(slide 1) 3 Qs – which one will you use as a hook? a quiz, a quote a question. provide an overview about what will be discussed in the presentation (slide 2) This is called ‘feeding forward’ and makes the audience feeling they are participants rather than recipients. 10 Structure: The Body – 80% Provide information in relation to your topic. Elements to consider: What, when, where, how, and why. Discussion of potential problem. Examples, statistics, a short and relevant video Recommendation of potential solutions to the problem. Include in text citations to support your line of reasoning. Structure: End – 10% The end should leave the audience with a clear idea of 3-5 key points (takeaways that you want the audience to remember) Check if there are any questions from the audience and address accordingly Reference list – APA 6th ed. (final slide) 12 Principles for Preparing for Audiences Expect and prepare for diversity Include data or sources to back up your claims Interact with the audience Address any performance anxiety Think quality and importance, not quantity Use media creatively and appropriately 13 Expect and prepare for diversity Audiences are composed of unique and diverse individuals. The time and day of the week will also have an impact – a Monday morning meeting may be entirely different to a Friday afternoon meeting, even when the same people are present on both occasions. Never assume you know your audiences - assume that they are constantly changing. 14 Address performance nerves To help with nerves, take time to understand the presentation and the audience Plan and rehearse helps reduce anxiety. Planning reduces uncertainty, which is a significant contributor to anxiety or stress. 15 Presentation Pitfalls Look at these presentation mistakes, and ensure you know how to avoid them: Blurry images An introduction that’s too long Getting off track! Moving slides backwards. Trying to be funny! The wrong information The wrong presentation Reading from your slides Presentation is too Long Complicated graphics Unreadable Fonts, Busy Backgrounds All Opinion, No Facts Technical or industry jargon Language difficult to understand Technical Problems Fancy Slides Enhancing your Presentation Spell-check – Australian English! Slide Transitions - minimal Rehearse your timings Protect your document Make a back up copy Know your logins and passwords to software programs 17 Amy Cuddy and Julian Treasure Video about giving presentations…body language – The Power Pose https://www.google.com.au/search?q=amy+cuddy+ted+talk&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBAU781AU781&oq=amy+cu&aqs=chrome.3.69i57j0l5.5256j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Julien Treasure discusses about speaking so that others listen https://www.ted.com/talks/julian_treasure_how_to_speak_so_that_people_want_to_listen?language=ab Watch a video… Choose your favourite TedTalks topic and take note of the presentation, the presenter’s skills, verbal and non verbal communication and the visuals they use How did they interact with the audience and engage them.
