The first step in preparing a presentation is to define the purpose of your presentation.

1.   Informative :-

Keep an informative presentation brief and to the point. Stick to the facts and avoid complicated information.

2.   Instructional :-

Your purpose in an instructional presentation is to give specific directions or orders. Your presentation will probably be a bit longer, because it has to cover your topic thoroughly. In an instructional presentation, your listeners should come away with new knowledge or anew skill.

Demonstrate it first without comment

Demonstrate it again with a brief explanation

Demonstrate it a third time, step-by-step, with an explanation

Have the participants practice the skill

Provide participants the opportunity to ask questions, give, and receive feedback from you and their peers

Connect the learning to actual use

Have participants verbally state how they will use it

3.   Arousing :-

Your purpose in an arousing presentation is to make people think about a certain problem or situation.

You want to arouse the audience's emotions and intellect so that they will be receptive to your point of view.

Use vivid language in an arousing presentation -- project sincerity and enthusiasm.

Gain attention with a story that illustrates (and sometimes exaggerates) the problem

Show the need to solve the problem and illustrate it with an example that is general or commonplace

Describe your solution for a satisfactory resolution to the problem

Compare/contrast the two worlds with the problem solved and unsolved

Call the audience to action to help solve the problem

Give the audience a directive that is clear, easy, and immediate

4.   Persuasive

Your purpose in a persuasive presentation is to convince your listeners to accept your proposal. A convincing, persuasive presentation offers a solution to a controversy, dispute, or problem. To succeed with a persuasive presentation, you must present sufficient logic, evidence, and emotion to sway the audience to your viewpoint.

Create a great introduction because a persuasive presentation introduction must accomplish the following:

Seize the audience's attention

Disclose the problem or needs that your product or service will satisfy

Tantalize the audience by describing the advantages of solving the problem or need

Create a desire for the audience to agree with you by describing exactly how your product or service with fill their real needs

Close your persuasive presentation with a call to action

Ask for the order

Ask for the decision that you want to be made

Ask for the course of action that you want to be followed

5.   Decision-making

Your purpose in a decision-making presentation is to move your audience to take your suggested action. A decision-making presentation presents ideas, suggestions, and arguments strongly enough to persuade an audience to carry out your requests. In a decision-making presentation, you must tell the audience what to do and how to do it.You should also let them know what will happen if the don't do what you ask.

Gain attention with a story that illustrates the problem

Show the need to solve the problem and illustrate it with an example that is general or commonplace

Describe your solution to bring a satisfactory resolution to the problem

Compare/contrast the two worlds with the problem solved and

unsolved

Call the audience to action to help solve the problem and give them a way to be part of the solution

 

 

 

 

 

Different types of presentations

We rule the world by our words.

–Napoleon Bonaparte

There are many different types of presentations that meet specific needs. These are some examples:

• Sales: Outlines the benefits, features, and reasons to buy a product or service
• Persuasion: Provides the reasons or support to pursue a particular idea or path
• Status report: Details the progress of a project, a task force, or product sales
• Product demonstration: Shows how something works
• Business plan or strategy: Sketches out what an organization plans to do next, or articulates the company's goals

Sharing detailed information is not a good use of a presentation. Audiences will not remember detail. You can use a presentation to inform an audience about a major change or initiative, but use written forms of communication for the detail. Thus, your purpose drives the type of presentation you choose.
