LC_CHAPTER 5 : Leadership Presentations

CHAPTER 5 : Leadership Presentations
In this chapter show me about One of main skills of leader is public speaking.  To do it effectively, there is a process called “Three P’s” that can help: Plan, Prepare and Present.
The first stage is Plan.  For Plan, first look at the Context, then use a framework of Purpose -> Message -> Communicator / Medium or Forum -> Audiences.   Feedback and Timing are factors in this framework.
The medium and delivery method has many advantages and disadvantages.  Some different mediums are Stand-up (no visuals), Roundtable, Stand-up (with presentation) and Impromptu presentations.
The first section deals with developing the introduction, body and conclusion.   Adding Graphics can add to presentation value.  Next you should test the flow and logic flow smoothly.   Editing and Proofing helps make sure the presentation to check the message is clear, concise, correct especially visual aids.  Also practice the presentation out loud helps preparation
The third stage is Present.  When presenting, make sure you keep your nerves under control which can have a lot of fear for people.   Keep eye contact with audience and look around to different people but not too quick.  Our stance and gestures reflect attitude.   It should be comfortable, relaxed stance and use hands but not too much.  For voice and speech, try not to use “umm” or “uh” and speak loudly.  Use Visual aids can deliver message better.
