Presenting to Groups: A 20/20 MDS® Workshop Kit
We spend most of our lives speaking to one another; it is our natural communication channel. However, something strange happens to many people when asked to do the same thing in front of a group. A mere mention of delivering a presentation brings the nervous system into full operation. So why does this happen?<br><br>It is a mixture of things. It is fear of:
- falling flat on your face
- drying up
- losing your train of thought (mid-stream)
- what people will think of you
- being boring.
As you progress through this module you will learn how to prepare, plan and execute a presentation to a high standard. While the workbook does not include specific facilitation skills, many of the hints, tips and techniques can be applied in a number of different circumstances, including, advising and informing others, sharing ideas/information with your own team, taking a proposal to another team and making a presentation to people outside your organization.
