today the third topic we are going to
start is the
presentation strategies the presentation
strategies
you have to present something and you
need
that many strategies to make the your
presentation
effectively so this we will going to
cover
in this topic topic number three that is
presentations strategies
first of all what is the purpose of the
presentation why we are
presenting ourselves in front of the
audience
for example you you are seeing the
advertisement in the
tvs or the live salesman
why they are presenting themselves so
there are many purposes of the
presentation
in your student and the professional
life today we are
just now you are dealing with student
life or after the student life you are
dealing with the professional life
you may have to give the presentation at
many occasions
let's see at the student life at the end
of your
engineering that means at the seventh
and the eighth semester you have to
present yourself
your project that is also one type of
presentation
every time the purpose of your
presentation may be
different in the student life the
purpose of the presentation is
to score the marks in the professional
life
to sell the product xyz suppose in the
interview stage also
in the multinational company company in
the interview
stage they have a stage like
presentation
strength in that the purpose is
different
these purpose are as many
for example first is to give the
information
many times to give the information that
is the presentation
strategy for example just now we are
dealing with the corona virus
so in the tv tv in the roadside we
are seeing the holdings that are they
inform us
they give the information to us
regarding the
consciousness of the corona so the
presentation is to give the information
or
to explain a concept in detail in this
student life in the project you have to
explain a concept
in detail also to create an awareness
the presentation is for that also
to present the purpose of your work to
present the purpose of your work that
means in the
project time you have to present
yourself
stage by stage today
daily or monthly or quarterly today we
have completed this much
now further we are going to cover this
month so it is you have to present
yourself
you have to present after a week also
okay this week we have covered to your
boss
this week we have covered this much in
the next week we are going to cover
this much so you have to present
yourself to your boss
to explain your progress of work also
one
type of the purpose is to present in
front of your professors for academic
pers
purpose this we have discussed also to
present a plan
of the project to delegate the work of
the members of the
team sometimes if you are the leader of
the team
and the boss gave the work to you that
means the leader
now you have to distribute this work to
your below
workers so you have to present yourself
that time that this work is done by this
person
this work is done by this person so at
this time you have to present yourself
in the front of your colleagues so there
are many many more purposes of the
presentation
strategies now these are the important
why we are
learning the presentation so these are
the purposes
now what are the strategies the topic
name is presentation strategies
so the first is the
preparation as seen above we have seen
the
purposes there are different purpose of
presentations in order to fulfill this
purposes or you know
in other words in order to make our
presentation
effective a true preparation is required
so for this completing our purposes
the through preparation is required this
is
this we know in every stage the
preparation is required
in order to make a good presentation we
have to divide this
into three main phases
first is planning second is presenting
and third is
sorry first is planning second is
preparing and third is the
presenting we have to divide our
presentation in this three
stages or this three phases planning
preparing and presenting
first is the planning this is very
important phase
where three steps namely now in the
planning there are three states
which are they first is the defining
purpose
second analyzing audience and third is
the analyzing
venue when you mean the place of the
presentation where where
the place where you have to present so
you have to analyze that
so in the planning first stage or the
first phase
of the presentation strategies it is
further divided into defining purpose
second analyzing audience and third is
analyzing
venue defining purpose
it means clarifying in your mind the
purpose of the presentation
what you what is the purpose of your
presentation you have to give the
information
you have to present yourself your work
you have to get
clarify in the interview what is the
purpose why you are giving the
presentation that first you have to
clarify in your mind
you must think and analyze what you want
to achieve through the presentation and
what all need to be done for
then after the presentation you have to
decide from this presentation what i
need
that you have to first clarify whether
you want to create an awareness or
pursue
audience you have to include such
illustrations and proof in your
content which could your thought on the
topic so according to your content
according to your purpose you have to
input the illustrations and the proof
then and then only your presentation
will be effective
being clear about your purpose it is
important
as it helps in deciding what to present
and how to
present so clarifying in your mind
clears you that
you what to present and how you have to
present
so first sub topic is the defining the
purpose second analyzing audience
you must try to find out who is your
audience this we are discussing many
times
that you must aware of your audience if
you are going to deliver the
presentation in your college
or the organization if you are student
then you have to present yourself in the
college
or the organization then you may know
everyone
but if you are invited outside your
presentation
then you must inquire the organization
about the
audience for example in the seventh or
eighth semester you have to present
yourself
the your project with your project it is
in your
in the same college where you are
studying so
the professors that you know and
the your colleagues that you are
familiar with atmosphere
but if the same project that you have to
deliver
in the other college then the when you
are
different there you have to familiar
with the org with the organization with
the environment of the organization
where you are going to
present so there the audience are
different
so you have to analyze the audience once
you know the audience you can note down
points which are relevant to your
audience so that
while preparing the content you may
include such points and
examples so analyzing your purpose for
example
in in the other college you are going to
submit your project
or presenting your project and that
faculty is of the is of
understanding of different languages so
at that time you have too familiar with
that
language because now you are not
presenting to your professor
but you are presenting outside your
college outside your
organization so analyzing the audience
is very much important
and the last is analyzing venue
you must be aware of the place where you
have to make the presentation
as it helps in deciding how you are
going to
present analyzing when you means as we
have discussed the place where you are
going to
present it will
so it will decide how you are going to
present if you know the place
you will you will more comfortable at
the presentation
time if you have to present outside your
organization
then it is advisable to visit the place
and
check for various things keep in mind if
you are not
presenting in your organization or your
college you have to once
visit that place before the final
presentation
what you are seeing there what will you
see there
reaching or visiting that whether the
projector is available
or a black or the white board if you
need black or white
board is there at your when you
whether a podium will be given or not
podium means where you are going to
stand
then the front part it is available or
not
so if it is not you have to well dressed
that way
if it is there are podium before us it
will be
look good that you are only visible half
so the podium will be given or not how
big
is the room how big is the room where
you are presenting whether there is a
space for moving around
in the room or stage is there or not etc
so this you have to is there any pillars
between your
presentation room if there are pillars
after that pillar you have to avoid the
chairs so this
all you guess after visiting once
visiting the place gives you an idea
how you have to prepare for the
presentation and it also helps
you in listening your nervousness due to
the fear of the
unknowns so where you are reaching in
the new place
you you have you are dealing with the
unknown atmosphere you are dealing with
unknown persons
you are dealing with the unknown place
so
after visiting once you are familiar
with
them so first after dividing the three
stages
the first stage is further divided into
the defining purpose
analyzing audience and analyzing venue
the second and the third topic that is
the preparing part and the presenting
part of the presentation strategies
will be further continue in the upcoming
videos
thank you
