When you're planning a presentation, there might be lots of things you want to get across in that. My advice is forget about that and plan it from the audiences' point of view.
Ask yourself simply what do they want to know and plan it by answering those questions.
What I do when I'm studying I use a kind of spider gramme model just on a piece of paper. I do a circle in the middle with the topic and I use this for. Not just presentations, but if I'm doing research papers, even books, you know, my book is the 'Outstanding actor: 7 keys to success', it starts with outstanding actor in the Centre and then all the things of what makes an outstanding actor:
- How can I have more presence?
- How do I work on text?
- What makes me special?
- How do I develop charisma?
So there are lots of little circles you develop.
When I was doing my online course 'become a better actor'. The same thing I start with. 'Better actor' become a better actor and then little circles going out around that.
If I were doing a presentation on how to do presentations, I would still do the same thing I would have 'be a great presenter' little circle in the middle and then all the questions that.
You might or the audience might want to know is how can I be better at presenting?
- How can I have more presence?
- How can I have more charisma?
- What if I'm an introvert?
- How could how do I plan?
- What sort of language can I use?
So that's a very good way of planning your presentation from the audiences point of view and knowing that you are connecting with them because often you may do your presentation and then what happens. The scariest bit of all you end up with a lot of questions at the end. If I haven't prepared that I haven't prepared that. So by planning it from your audiences point of view. You're actually answering your questions or their questions as you go along.
