If youre old enough to remember just about any part of school then odds are youve lived through dozens, if not hundreds of presentations. Some of these presentations were boring, while some you wished would never end, but why is that? What caused the presentation on snakes to be mind numbingly awful yet the presentation on economics to be engaging and fun? When you break down each presentation bit by bit you come to realize that the thing that really set them apart was the presenter. The presentations that are of a higher quality are almost always given by a good presenter. Finding a good presentation given by a bad presenter is like trying to find a race which is won by a slow car.
The common denominator between all good presenters is enthusiasm. Without enthusiasm a good presenter wouldnt be a good presenter. An audience simply cant be excited if the person giving the presentation isnt excited also. A good presenter will also spend a lot of time preparing their presentations, while the bad ones will often times improvise on the spot and have uninteresting or unresearched information. With enthusiasm and a great message an even more powerful attribute is formed and this attribute is presence. All good presenters have to have presence; its what lets you know they are there and what commands an audience. Its often said a speaker with a powerful presence can cause even the most modest of people to do things they would never think of otherwise.
Along with presentation and enthusiasm a pure passion for what they do is important. A good presenter will love being in front of people and interacting with them. A good presenter will be personable and they will engage the audience to keep them from being bored at anytime throughout the presentation. Good presenters are also used to what they do. They must have a lot of experience with public speaking and presentation and be ready for anything. Being able to cope with even the most major problems will ensure that the presentation goes off without a hitch, and being in control the entire time will inspire their audience and captivate them. Being a good presenter is a lot more than simply having the right information or being in control of the situation though; a good presenter will have good stories to tell and be able to relate to the audience they are speaking to. If the audience can relate to the one teaching them then the presenter has truly done his job and his presentation will be much more affective.
Most people never forget a good presenter in their life. The amazing thing about good presenters is that they are rarely forgotten and while they may not have accomplished the greatest things in life they seem to inspire all of us. Their ability to be passionate about something and communicate with us in a way that no other person can is a rare experience and one many people love. A good presenter will often go through life always learning how to become better and how to communicate with people better. If you ever have a chance to see a truly good presenter, learn from them.
