Let’s get to the habits guide…

What Are Habits?

Let’s define habits. Habits are the small decisions you make and actions you perform every day. According to researchers at Duke University, habits account for about 40 percent of our behaviors on any given day. 

Your life today is essentially the sum of your habits.  How in shape or out of shape you are? A result of your habits. How happy or unhappy you are? A result of your habits. How successful or unsuccessful you are? A result of your habits.

What you repeatedly do (i.e. what you spend time thinking about and doing each day) ultimately forms the person you are, the things you believe, and the personality that you portray.  Everything I write about – from procrastination and productivity to strength and nutrition – starts with better habits. When you learn to transform your habits, you can transform your life.

7 Powerful Presentation Habits

Dec 28, 2021 by maurice decastro in communication skills , general , leadership , presentation skills , public speaking.

Bad presentation habits are easy to find and hard to break. The good ones are available to us all and we don’t have to look too far to find them.

Stephen R. Covey’s book, ‘The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People’ contains everything you need to know to achieve extraordinary results. It is a book which has impacted millions of lives across all professions for over 30 years. The wisdom also extends to any presentation you may be called on to make. If you read it closely you’ll find some very helpful presentation habits.

Whether you are presenting at your monthly update, a team brief, project update, board meeting or conference, it’s worth connecting with this wisdom.

Whatever it is, if you harness the integrity of the ‘7 habits’ your presentation will soar.

HABIT 1: BE PROACTIVE

Don’t believe the myth that great speakers are born that way; highly effective presenting and public speaking is a learned skill. Please don’t blame your parents or teachers for not giving you the confidence to speak. Be proactive in developing good presentation habits.

– Watch TED Talks . Presenters at TED follow some compelling precepts. They tell stories, give emotional context, stick to the point, support their message and keep it brief. Here are a few TED Talks I’d recommend you watch:

– Read

There are plenty of great books which can help you to learn presentation habits to speak with confidence and impact. Here are a few I’d recommend:

How to Deliver a TED Talk: Secrets of the World’s Most Inspiring Presentations – Jeremey Donovan

Made to Stick – Chip & Dan Heath

Presentation Zen – Garr Reynolds

Never Be Boring Again – Doug Stevenson

Resonate – Nancy Duarte

– Speak

Look for opportunities to speak, don’t shy away from them.

Explore possibilities and go out of your way to look for ways to present your ideas to colleagues and customers.

If the idea of standing up to present at work is a little to daunting to start with then consider joining a group. Somewhere you can practice speaking in a safe and supportive environment. Toastmasters is an International speaking club which has 16,600 clubs in 143 countries.

If you’d rather take a more private and personal approach, get yourself one to one coaching.

HABIT 2: BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND

Stephen Covey presents Habit 2 as a journey of imagination. It’s based on the principle that you have to make it clear in your mind first what you want to achieve, before you can manifest it.

Presenting your ideas effectively to colleagues, clients or strangers is underpinned by the same principle. In this context, that journey of imagination begins with you sitting quietly long before you open your laptop to begin building your presentation. Ask yourself 2 questions:

What do I want my audience to feel?

Every great presentation is firmly grounded with a clear emotional intent. In other words, when you have finished speaking, how exactly do you want your audience to feel.

Please don’t make the mistake of answering that question with the words ‘informed and engaged’ as we often hear in our presentation training courses. On its own its still not enough. Making your audience feel ‘informed and engaged’ is a prerequisite in any presentation or speech but it lacks emotional impact. There has to be something else.

Here are just a few emotions you may wish to consider:

Enthusiastic

Keep in mind however, that sometimes, before you take your audience to the place of feeling something really good, occasionally you need them to feel uncomfortable. If that’s the case, you need to be clear on that too. Do you want them to feel;

Embarrassed

What do I want my audience to do?

Beginning with the end in mind means having absolute clarity what it is you want your audience to do.  If you don’t know exactly what it is you want them to do when you finish speaking then you can be sure they won’t do anything.

To substantially increase the likelihood of them doing what it is you want them to do, you have to make them feel something first.

“When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity.” ― Dale Carnegie, ‘How to Win Friends and Influence People.’

HABIT 3: PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST

The first habit presents the idea that if you really want something to happen, the only person who can make it so is yourself. Habit 2 challenges us to accept the reality that we have to be abundantly clear on what that is and to be able to see it in our minds too. I believe that if Stephen Covey were writing these habits with the focus on presentations and presenting, he would say that Habit 3 is about your message. That entails:

–  Knowing and understanding your own message first.

 –  Making sure that everything you say is relevant to and supports your message.

 –  Knowing exactly why your message is relevant and important to your audience, why they should care about it and what tangible difference it will make to their personal or professional lives.

Putting first things first also means leaving your ego aside and crafting a message and presentation which revolves entirely around your audience. It means that you don’t strive for perfection but instead work diligently to towards making an impact and a difference.

At Mindful Presenter we have a philosophy and passionate belief that ‘connecting is everything’.

Habit 4: Think Win-Win

This is a principle which embraces the idea of thinking and preparing your presentation in a way that is cooperative rather than competitive. Very closely aligned to Habit 3, it encourages us to focus exclusively our audience. It expels the notion of someone winning and someone else losing and urges us to craft a story that brings the presenter and her audience together.

It is a principle of harmony which entails building a relationship with your audience and connecting with them. That means that everything we say must be of value to our audience.

If they don’t win then you certainly won’t.

Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood

This is probably the favourite of my presentation skills habit because I believe it is the ‘Jewel in the crown’ of the set of 7 habits. After all, what chance do we stand of achieving any level of success if we don’t understand our audience. It is a principle which promotes the idea of listening before we even consider building and delivering our presentation.

I have long held a personal belief that ‘most people don’t listen’. Many of us do something very different; I call it ‘wait to speak’.

Many business presentations today centre around professionals ‘waiting to speak’. In other words, presnters saturate PowerPoint slides with text, data and bullet points which they can then read to their audience.

The Mindful Presenter seeks to understand their audience first:

– Who are they really?

– How much do they already know?

– What are their values?

– Do I undertstand the problems they have?

– Why should they care about this?

– How do they feel now?

– What do I want them to feel?

As you can see, there are a number of very important questions which need to be asked and answered long before we open our laptops.  Once we make the effort to really understand our audience, we increase the likelihood of them understanding us.

Habit 6: Synergize

Most people don’t like sitting quietly and listening to presentations but everyone likes being involved in a good conversation. A great presentation is far more of a conversation than it is someone just standing up speaking whilst running a slide show.

I think Stephen Covey’s wisdom continues to flourish as we consider synergy a vital element of our presentation. It’s about working together to produce meaningful results rather than simply talking at people hoping they see our perspective; we need to see theirs too.

Synergize means developing the habit of approaching every presentation as an opportunity to work closely with our audience. It means creating the time and making the effort to interact with and involve them in our message.

We have to put ourselves in their shoes.

We need to abandon preconceived assumptions and judgments and ask them for their thoughts, opinions and concerns.  When a presenter works very closely with an audience, they become a formidable team.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

The final habit extols the virtue of growth and harmony. The spoken word has the ability to elicit a powerful effect and to respect and harness that impact we have to make time for ourselves.

It is a habit of self-renewal that promotes the idea that to be the best we can be we have to keep fresh and stay ahead of the game physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. How can we expect to influence and inspire our audience, to lead action and change if we are not in peak condition?

It strikes me that it is possibly the most challenging habit for all of us because it entails most of the things, we know we should be doing anyway but still don’t always do.

– Exercising regularly

– Staying properly hydrated

– Eating healthily

– Cutting out the toxins

– Finding the time and space to sit quietly, breathe and think

– Meditating

– Visualising

– Challenging ourselves personally and professional

– Learning new things

– Having more fun

When our body, minds and emotions are not in as good a shape as they could be, we lose the energy, creativity and confidence to speak with impact.

Sharpening the saw is not only a good habit to end on it’s perhaps one most of us could benefit from enormously (presentations and public speaking aside) as we we begin the New Year.

As we step eagerly into the New Year, Stephen Covey’s book shares powerful lessons for personal change which many of us are more open to at this time of year.

Give some thought as to how you can build these potent habits into your presentation and public schedule this year.

If you need help with you presentation habits:

– Book yourself onto a powerful  public speaking course .

– Invest in some really good one to one  public speaking coaching .

– Get yourself some excellent  presentation training

What is a habit?

What’s the difference between habits and routines, the science of habits, how long does it take to form a new habit, changing habits: 5 mistakes to avoid, building good habits in 7 steps, how to maintain a habit.

Our habits shape who we are. Though we admit, forming positive habits isn’t always easy. And it can take a while to break an old habit .

Depending on whether they are healthy habits or bad habits, habits determine if we’re going to be happy or unhappy. Healthy or unhealthy. Tired or well-rested . Strong or weak. The power of habits is far-reaching. 

Habits shape our attitudes, actions, and decision-making abilities . And they affect every aspect of our lives. 

But before we can build good habits , we need to understand what habits are and how they’re formed. We also need to know what mistakes we should avoid in the process. 

Let’s take a look at the art of building good habits, including the science behind them and how you can set yourself up to successfully form new, better ones today.

A habit is a tendency to do something, whether harmful or health-promoting. 

A good habit will help you reach your goals, develop both personally and professionally, and feel fulfilled. However, not all habits are good.

Habits are driven by reward-seeking mechanisms in the brain . They’re often triggered by something specific. For instance, walking past a cafe and smelling coffee beans can trigger you to want a cup. Feeling stressed at work can trigger you to smoke a cigarette.

After a while, habits become a repetitive part of your lifestyle. 

Here are some other examples of habits:

• Brushing your teeth after eating a meal
• Putting on your seatbelt when you get inside a car
• Drinking a glass of wine when you get home from work 
• Eating sugary or salty foods when you're stressed at work
• Fidgeting with your notebook during a meeting

Forming habits is the brain’s way of being more efficient . As far as the brain is concerned, the more tasks you can complete without wasting time thinking about them, the better.

And our brain's tendency toward efficiency can be positive. 

For instance, drinking a green smoothie every morning benefits your health . And not having to relearn how to drive your car every day means you have reliable transportation. 

Of course, this efficiency can also be negative. 

For instance, biting your nails every time you have a meeting at work can wreak havoc on your nails. Or not brushing your teeth after eating can lead to tooth decay.

The main difference between a habit and a routine is awareness. Both are regular, repeated actions. But while habits run on autopilot, routines are intentional . 

Routines need deliberate practice, or they’ll eventually die out. But a habit happens with little or no conscious thought.

For instance, a gratitude practice requires intention and effort . It won’t run on autopilot. The same is true for exercise. You’re not going to start exercising on autopilot. But (if you have the habit), you'll grab a cigarette on autopilot.

For a routine to turn into a habit, the behavior will need to happen with little or no thought. For instance, let’s say you add drinking green juice to your morning routine. If one day you wake up and make green juice without thinking about it, you can consider it a habit.

In this section, we’ll break down the four stages of habit formation.

How do habits form?

Habit-forming is the process in which behaviors become automatic. It can be an intentional process, or it can happen unplanned. 

For instance, you were most likely taught to wash your hands as a child. And after a while, washing your hands became automatic. It wasn’t intentional — it happened after lots of repetition. 

Replacing your nightly glass of wine with a glass of water, on the other hand, is intentional. So is replacing your morning cup of caffeinated coffee with decaf.

One thing to keep in mind about the habit-forming process is that it doesn’t happen occasionally. It’s an endless feedback loop that’s running and active during every moment you’re alive. That brings us to the habit loop.

What’s the habit loop?

Charles Duhigg, author of “The Power of Habit,” says that at the core of every lasting habit is a psychological pattern called the ‘habit loop .’

The habit loop includes a four-step pattern that all habits proceed through. The four stages are always the same and in the same order: 

• Cue/trigger

Your mind constantly analyzes your environment for hints of where rewards are located. The cue is the first sign that you’re close to a reward, like money or love. This step triggers your brain to start a behavior.

Since the cue means you’re close to a reward, it’ll naturally lead to the second step: the craving.

Cravings are the motivational force behind every habit. They give you a reason to act. However, what you’re craving isn’t the habit itself but rather the change in state you get from it. 

You crave a glass of wine because of the relief it brings. You crave wearing your seatbelt because it makes you feel safe. 

In the end, cravings stem from a desire to change your internal state. 

The response is the habit you perform. It can take the form of a thought or an action. Responding depends on how motivated you are and how challenging it is to perform the behavior. 

For instance, if an action requires more effort than you’re willing to put in, you won’t do it. 

The goal of every habit is the reward. The cue notices the reward, the craving wants the reward, and the response obtains the reward. 

For instance, let’s say you’re walking around town, and you come across a bakery. The cue would be noticing the bakery. The craving would be wanting a piece of chocolate cake. And the response would be going inside to order and eat a slice of cake.

We chase rewards for two reasons: they satisfy our cravings, and they teach us which actions we should remember in the future.

In a study run back in 2009, researchers at University College London found that, on average, building habits takes around 66 days before the behavior change becomes automatic.

However, the choice of habit was a major part of how long it actually took (between 18 and 254 days). 

In short, some habits are harder or easier to form than others. 

For instance, replacing coffee with green tea might be faster than giving up caffeine altogether. And replacing nicotine with hard candy might be slower than replacing it with nicotine patches. 

In the end, how long the habit takes to form will depend on how motivated you are and how much effort it takes to perform a behavior.

Here are five mistakes to avoid when you want to replace an existing habit with another:

1. You're not controlling your environment 

Failing to control your environment is one of the biggest threats to changing an old habit.

If you’re still going to grab fast food with co-workers after a bad day, you probably won’t stop stress eating and adopt intuitive eating . Instead, opt to hang out with friends at a different location like a cafe or a park.

The same is true for any habit. Make sure your environment supports the changes you want to make.

2. You’re trying to change too many habits

Focusing on too many behavior changes at once can make you feel overwhelmed and anxious . As we mentioned earlier, if an action requires more effort than you’re willing to put in, you won’t do it. 

Instead, focus on changing one behavior at a time. Once that habit becomes solid, move on to the next behavior.

3. You’re not committed to habit change

A healthy habit takes time and repetition to form. This means being patient and giving yourself some time to achieve your goals . Remember, it takes between 18 to 254 days to form a new habit.

4. You’re too focused on the outcome

Too many of us focus on short-term results, like losing 10 pounds for a beach trip or saving just enough money for a new computer. But the key to lasting change is a lifestyle change. Instead of focusing on short-term outcomes, focus on adapting your lifestyle.

5. You assume small changes don’t add up 

Sometimes we give up on changing a habit before we even start. We assume that we’ll need to make drastic changes that are too difficult. But every day, we have the chance to get a little better or a little worse. 

Instead of worrying about the big picture , start with small, realistic changes. Once those small changes have become second nature, you can slowly make bigger ones.

When building habits, you will often be replacing old ones. Here are seven ways to replace bad habits with healthier ones:

Eliminate triggers

Reduce cravings 

Make a negative habit difficult

Uncover the root

Adopt healthy routines

Swap a bad habit for a better habit

Build intrinsic motivation

1. Eliminate triggers

Identify the people, places, and activities that are linked in your mind to bad habits. Then change your behavior toward those. 

For instance, if you have a shopping addiction, avoid shopping malls. If you want to quit smoking, don’t go outside when your friends take a smoke break.

Chronic stress can also trigger poor behavior. Make sure to actively manage your stress levels to avoid triggers .

2. Reduce cravings 

Remember, cravings stem from a desire to change your internal state. This means you can reduce cravings by identifying how you want to feel. Then, use a healthier action to achieve that feeling.

For instance, if you’re craving relaxation , take a bath instead of smoking. If you’re craving energy, eat a banana instead of drinking your third cup of coffee for the day.

3. Make a negative habit difficult 

Habits can only exist if the behavior is easy enough to engage in. If you make the behavior difficult, you won’t be able to do it. For instance, if you have a bad habit of staying up too late, start work earlier in the morning. 

If you know you’ll be physically exhausted and running on a few hours of sleep, you’ll think twice before staying up late. 

4. Uncover the root

Uncovering the root of your bad habits is one of the most important ways to change them. For instance, maybe you’ll discover that you stress eat because you need coping tools. 

Knowing that a lack of coping tools is the root of your habit, you can nurture your mental well-being in better ways. For instance, you can use self-care practices like mindful breathing to cope with stress .

5. Adopt healthy routines 

Building good habits boils down to lifestyle choices. And one of the best ways to change your lifestyle is by improving your daily routine. Map out your day and integrate healthy practices where they make sense. 

For instance, eat a vegetable and a fruit when you wake up. Take a restorative nap on your lunch break. And take a quiet walk in the evenings. Make sure that the practices you choose are realistic and healthy. 

6. Swap a bad habit for a better habit 

Sometimes the easiest way to change a habit is by swapping it for a better one. For instance, instead of eating a slice of cake every night, swap it for a baked cinnamon apple. Instead of drinking a glass of wine, swap it for a glass of sparkling water. 

7. Build intrinsic motivation

To build intrinsic motivation , you’ll need to believe two things: you have the choice and freedom to act how you want, and a task will teach you something new and make you a better person.

One of the best ways to believe these two things is by learning how to deal with negative emotions . 

You’ll also need a way to measure progress towards your new habit. Seeing progress is a major motivator. This can be as simple as writing it down and hanging it on your mirror. It could also be making a fancy chart or spreadsheet.

And finally, take intrinsic motivation to the next level by making your goal public. Tell a close friend or announce it on social media. Public commitment to your personal goals works as a powerful accountability partner. 

Now that you know how to build good habits, let’s take a look at some tips for you to maintain your new behavior:

1. Make it part of your schedule

It can be easy for new positive habits to fall by the wayside when you don’t do them regularly. When we have a lot on our plate, life can get in the way of habit building. To avoid this, make your new habits part of your schedule. 

For example, you may have taken up virtual workouts to achieve a good work-life balance during COVID-19 . To practice self-management and make sure you maintain this healthy habit, incorporate it into your daily routine. 

Use time management techniques to effectively manage your time and prioritize your habits.

2. Create a supportive environment

Surround yourself with like-minded people who have similar goals to you. Why? Because as humans, we are greatly influenced by what others around us are doing or feeling.

A study found that the exertion of mental effort is contagious . Simply doing a task next to a person who exerts a lot of effort will help you do the same. 

Being around like-minded individuals is also encouraging. For example, you may have formed a habit of going for a run in the morning. Making connections with other runners will give you that extra energy and motivation to stick to your running habits. 

Being around a positive group of people who share similar goals and interests can be the single greatest catalyst to help you maintain your habit.

Tell your family, friends, and colleagues what your plans are to maintain your new habit. Sharing your habit goals provides accountability and support for your habit maintenance.

3. Use reminders

One of the trickiest parts of maintaining a habit is remembering to do it in the first place. This is especially true when you’re in the beginning stages of your habit. As we’ve mentioned above, it takes time for actions to turn into habitual behaviors.

To help maintain your habit, set reminders for yourself. This could be a visual reminder like a post-it on the fridge or your mirror. 

Or why not use technology to your advantage? Set up reminders on your phone or download one of the many habit tracking apps available. Some wearable stress trackers and sleep trackers have the functionality to set reminders. 

You can also set reminders about why you've decided to commit to your new habit, making you more motivated to stay on track and maintain it.

4. Practice self-compassion

Building a habit is difficult. But maintaining it can even be more daunting.

Putting too much pressure on yourself to maintain your habit can be counterproductive. For example, if you fail to keep up with your habit, it can be tempting to focus only on the failure . Negative self-talk and automatic thoughts like “I’ve failed again” or “I’ll never succeed” will only set you back.

Instead, avoid being too critical of yourself by practicing self-compassion and emotional regulation . Remind yourself that habit formation and maintenance is a journey. And failure is a natural part of the journey. 

Don’t beat yourself up, and focus on what future actions you can take.

Building good habits: an invitation to grow

Building good habits is one of the main pillars of personal growth . To build better habits, you should shape your environment in a positive way and take it one step at a time.

Ready to form better habits? At BetterUp, we love helping individuals reach their fullest potential.

12 key habits for presenting in any scenario

12 habits of exceptional presenters.

There are demonstrable, subtle and consistent differences between presenting virtually and presenting in-person. However, it would be wrong to assume that the emphasis switches to the technology and that takes precedent. Whilst mastering the technology is a pre-requisite of well-honed virtual presenting skills, it is also important to factor in the fundamentals of content design and delivery.

No two exceptional presenters are the same. However, there are 12 areas that are critical habits for  both  face to face and virtual presentations.  They are the foundations of any presentation.

It is useful to have these as a permanent reminder of what works when presenting in any scenario.

A habit here is not ‘a long, loose garment worn by a member of a religious order’ (just checking you are still with me) but ‘a settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that is hard to give up’. I suspect you will recognise that you have developed some new habits during the Covid-19 lockdown period – some good, some not so healthy. Here we are talking about developing positive presenting habits that move you from effective to exceptional.

Habit 1: Keep your audience at the heart of every presentation

Every presentation needs to be audience-centric. Many business presentations are the exact opposite: presenter centric. Prepare with the audience in mind and identify how you can offer real value. If you are too anxious, you are focusing on yourself. If you stuff your presentations with boring bullet pointed slides, you are focusing on yourself. Exceptional presenters ask:

• How much does my audience know about this subject?
• How engaged are they?
• What would I want if I was in the audience listening remotely?
• How can I put myself in their shoes and then guide them into uncharted waters?

Habit 2: Consistently follow a preparation model

Our suggested process has 7 steps:.

• Identify audience
• Set goal for presentation
• Structure, focusing on start (to grab attention) and finish (the idea of recency, the last thing the audience will hear)
• Create powerful, visual slides
• Rehearse – both the presentation and the use of technology
• Become confident – people are more influenced by confident presenters

Habit 3: Be aware of mindset and manage your state

Be aware of how you are feeling about an upcoming presentation. You  can  reduce unnecessary anxiety. Confidence is a habit and you can feel good about presenting by breathing well, try  Increase your energy in 3 minutes , and utilising  Amy Cuddy’s Power Poses  and visualising a successful outcome.

Habit 4: Structure every presentation

Audiences like structure. Having a high-level framework ensures that your message is delivered clearly and increases the chances of your audience recalling the information you deliver. Avoid subjecting your audience to an information dump. Less is more.

Habit 5: Present with authenticity

There is no ‘one size fits all’ to becoming an exceptional presenter. Be true to yourself, just with more skill! People connect with, and buy into, other people: your goal is to be authentic rather than ‘professional’. We have had enough of boring ‘professional’ presentations.

Habit 6: Articulate a burning platform

Your audience needs a compelling reason to listen to you and act. Otherwise, people either listen politely or switch off. Find out more about using the  burning platform  metaphor. Use Power Words such as save, solve, increase, improve, reduce, and focus on  The Why  – why should any audience member focus on what you saying?

Nail the WIIFM factor –  What’s In It For Me?

Habit 7: Deliver a compelling start and finish

Your audience is likely to remember the start and the finish. These are the ideas of primacy and recency. At the start, remember to include a spike (see section on engagement in article 3), your goal, your credentials, timings and how you will handle questions. Ensure you have the final word – make a final, memorable point in order to leave a lasting impression.

Habit 8: Engage the audience as much as possible

There are over 40 million PowerPoint presentations delivered every day – so how are you going to make yours stand out? (our next article). Tell stories. People like surprises, suspense and drama. So, bring your presentations to life with the stories you tell about your career, your areas of expertise, your clients and your personal life.

Deliver with passion and enthusiasm when appropriate. People buy emotionally and then justify logically, so you need to demonstrate your passion for a product, idea or service.

Of course engaging your audience virtually requires new ideas. We will be exploring these next week, when we look at how to engage an online audience with new approaches such as  PechaKucha  and new technology such as  Mentimeter .

Habit 9: Provide compelling and credible evidence

Using evidence and logic will increase your credibility as a presenter. People are persuaded by both logic and emotion. Focus on finding some key  relevant  pieces of evidence to support your claim, rather than a slew of facts that are loosely related to your main point.

Habit 10: Encourage and manage audience questions

As part of your preparation, ask yourself: what are the five worst questions I really do not want to be asked? Then prepare answers for these. Having a simple structure increases your ability to answer questions effectively – use the  4 A approach

1.  A cknowledge question.

2. (when possible) Throw open to  A udience.

3.  A nswer – and keep it short.

4.  A sk questioner if question has been answered.

Habit 11: Practise on the edge of discomfort

You do not develop skills by building knowledge – just go ahead and practise presenting! The more you practise (with awareness and feedback) the more you will grow as a presenter. Now is a pretty good time to practise in the safe environment of your home!

Habit 12: Accept all feedback dispassionately

There is no failure, only feedback. You never stop learning. Every presentation is a new learning opportunity. Feedback is critical, so always seek it out (from trusted colleagues) and look for candour from your colleagues. Feedback can become feedforward as you put the new suggestions into action.

Together, these 12 habits provide a strong foundation from which you can develop your own authentic voice and presentation style. Develop these habits now while we are still in lockdown and when you are back in the workplace you can deliver consistently exceptional presentations, that reflect your true personality and allow you to build strong connections with any audience.

What It Takes to Give a Great Presentation

by Carmine Gallo

Summary .   

Never underestimate the power of great communication. It can help you land the job of your dreams, attract investors to back your idea, or elevate your stature within your organization. But while there are plenty of good speakers in the world, you can set yourself apart out by being the person who can deliver something great over and over. Here are a few tips for business professionals who want to move from being good speakers to great ones: be concise (the fewer words, the better); never use bullet points (photos and images paired together are more memorable); don’t underestimate the power of your voice (raise and lower it for emphasis); give your audience something extra (unexpected moments will grab their attention); rehearse (the best speakers are the best because they practice — a lot).

I was sitting across the table from a Silicon Valley CEO who had pioneered a technology that touches many of our lives — the flash memory that stores data on smartphones, digital cameras, and computers. He was a frequent guest on CNBC and had been delivering business presentations for at least 20 years before we met. And yet, the CEO wanted to sharpen his public speaking skills.

When it comes to giving an engaging presentation that leaves a lasting impression, it’s not just about the content — it’s also about how you deliver it. Wondering what makes a good presentation? Well, the best presentations I’ve seen consistently exhibit these 10 qualities:

1. Clear structure

No one likes to get lost in a maze of information. Organize your thoughts into a logical flow, complete with an introduction, main points and a solid conclusion. A structured presentation helps your audience follow along effortlessly, leaving them with a sense of satisfaction at the end.

Regardless of your presentation style , a quality presentation starts with a clear roadmap.

3. Relevant content

Make sure your content aligns with their interests and needs. Your audience is there for a reason, and that’s to get valuable insights. Avoid fluff and get straight to the point, your audience will be genuinely excited.

4. Effective visual aids

Picture this: a slide with walls of text and tiny charts, yawn! Visual aids should be just that—aiding your presentation. Opt for clear and visually appealing slides, engaging images and informative charts that add value and help reinforce your message.

With Venngage, visualizing data takes no effort at all. You can import data from CSV or Google Sheets seamlessly and create stunning charts, graphs and icon stories effortlessly to showcase your data in a captivating and impactful way.

5. Clear and concise communication

Keep your language simple, and avoid jargon or complicated terms. Communicate your ideas clearly, so your audience can easily grasp and retain the information being conveyed. This can prevent confusion and enhance the overall effectiveness of the message. 

6. Engaging delivery

Spice up your presentation with a sprinkle of enthusiasm! Maintain eye contact, use expressive gestures and vary your tone of voice to keep your audience glued to the edge of their seats. A touch of charisma goes a long way!

7. Interaction and audience engagement

Turn your presentation into an interactive experience — encourage questions, foster discussions and maybe even throw in a fun activity. Engaged audiences are more likely to remember and embrace your message.

Transform your slides into an interactive presentation with Venngage’s dynamic features like pop-ups, clickable icons and animated elements. Engage your audience with interactive content that lets them explore and interact with your presentation for a truly immersive experience.

8. Effective storytelling

Who doesn’t love a good story? Weaving relevant anecdotes, case studies or even a personal story into your presentation can captivate your audience and create a lasting impact. Stories build connections and make your message memorable.

A great presentation background is also essential as it sets the tone, creates visual interest and reinforces your message. Enhance the overall aesthetics of your presentation with these 15 presentation background examples and captivate your audience’s attention.

9. Well-timed pacing

Pace your presentation thoughtfully with well-designed presentation slides, neither rushing through nor dragging it out. Respect your audience’s time and ensure you cover all the essential points without losing their interest.

10. Strong conclusion

Last impressions linger! Summarize your main points and leave your audience with a clear takeaway. End your presentation with a bang , a call to action or an inspiring thought that resonates long after the conclusion.

In-person presentations aside, acing a virtual presentation is of paramount importance in today’s digital world. Check out this guide to learn how you can adapt your in-person presentations into virtual presentations . 

Preparing an effective presentation starts with laying a strong foundation that goes beyond just creating slides and notes. One of the quickest and best ways to make a presentation would be with the help of a good presentation software .

Prepare for the unexpected by checking your equipment, internet connection and any other potential hiccups. If you’re worried that you’ll miss out on any important points, you could always have note cards prepared. Remember to remain focused and rehearse potential answers to anticipated questions.

8. Fine-tune and polish your presentation

Positive body language instantly captivates your audience, making them believe in your message as much as you do. Strengthen your stage presence and own that stage like it’s your second home! Stand tall, shoulders back and exude confidence. 

2. Eye contact with the audience

Break down that invisible barrier and connect with your audience through their eyes. Maintaining eye contact when giving a presentation builds trust and shows that you’re present and engaged with them.

3. Effective use of hand gestures and movement

A little movement goes a long way! Emphasize key points with purposeful gestures and don’t be afraid to walk around the stage. Your energy will be contagious!

4. Utilize storytelling techniques

Weave the magic of storytelling into your presentation. Share relatable anecdotes, inspiring success stories or even personal experiences that tug at the heartstrings of your audience. Adjust your pitch, pace and volume to match the emotions and intensity of the story. Varying your speaking voice adds depth and enhances your stage presence.

5. Incorporate multimedia elements

Spice up your presentation with a dash of visual pizzazz! Use slides, images and video clips to add depth and clarity to your message. Just remember, less is more—don’t overwhelm them with information overload. 

Turn your presentations into an interactive party! Involve your audience with questions, polls or group activities. When they actively participate, they become invested in your presentation’s success. Bring your design to life with animated elements.
