During MBA you will be making a lot of presentations. These 7 tips can make your presentations stand out and get you noticed.
Whenever you are preparing for group presentation on a topic, divide it into sub topics and divide the research, slide preparation, and presentation work equally.
Keep a deadline for all members to submit their slides at least 2 days prior to actual presentations so that you all can collate and stitch them together properly.
Once all the slides are in place, conduct a mock presentation with all the members speaking out their part to check timing and coordination. Iron out issues if any.
While making the actual presentation, the anchor must make a grand introduction to the topic as well as the participants. Use props, if needed.
Make sure no member of the group reads text from the slides. The slides should only contain bullet points. The explanations should be memorized.
Make presenting pairs, when one presents, the other assists with slide transition or any other assistance. Then they can switch roles.
Never make your presentations standing behind the lectern or the podium. That is a sign of nervousness. Instead stand freely with a cordless mike and talk like a rockstar!!
Do not end your presentations abruptly. Always invite questions and answer them properly. You could request some of your friends beforehand to ask a few questions if no one asks any questions.
