1. Choose the Right Topic
One of the most important presentation preparation tips is to pick the right topic for your presentation. You've got a few choices that'll give you a head start on wowing your audience. For example, you can:
Choose a topic you're passionate about. This will make it easy to give an animated and appealing presentation. Pick your topic based on your knowledge and skills, so that you can wow your audience with the information you include. Do a data-driven presentation based on the latest statistics on a topic of interest, plus your expert opinion or conclusions. Select a presentation topic that relates to your business goals, such as reporting on key performance indicators (KPIs) or revenue.
2. Know Your Audience
Related to that, another important step in presentation preparation is to know your
audience. Your presentation plan will be completely different depending on whether audience members are novices or experts in your topic. Understanding who you're presenting to helps you select appropriate data and anecdotes to convey your topic.
3. Brainstorm
The next tip in our series of presentation steps is to brainstorm. This can be something you do on your own or with others. Either way, note down initial ideas and inspiration for your presentation. Use tools like mind mapping to connect related concepts.

4 Tim Dosen English for Communication 1 Biro Bahan Ajar eLearning dan MKCU http://pbael.mercubuana.ac.id/ By the end of this process, you'll have a clearer idea of the intended focus of your presentation and can move onto the next stage of your presentation plan.
4. Do Your Research
If you're thinking about how to prepare a great presentation, one of the key elements that separates good business presentations from the rest is research.
Once you know your topic, you can search for supporting information such as:
recent news or features
the latest statistics (taken from reliable sources like .gov and .edu industry reports, and Google Dataset Search) relevant quotations
Once you've got that information, you're ready for the next step in presentation preparation.
5. Plan Your Presentation
Now it's time to put your presentation plan together. This is where you bring together ideas from your brainstorm and information from your research and organize them into a rough outline.
A good way to do this is with headings for different parts of your presentation and bullet points with facts, quotes, and stats. By the end of this process, you'll have a pretty good idea of the content of your slides. That's a crucial part of presentation preparation.
6. Draft/Write Your Presentation
Of course, creating a presentation isn't just about the slides. Use the outline you've created to draft the spoken part of your presentation. It's good to start with an 2021 English for Communication 1 5 Tim Dosen English for Communication 1 Biro Bahan Ajar eLearning dan MKCU http://pbael.mercubuana.ac.id/ overview of what your presentation will cover. Get it right, and this will whet your audience's appetite and make them pay attention.
7. Design Your Presentation Slides
Your presentation design is very important. You can use lots of software to do it.
8. Expect Questions
Once your main presentation is ready, there's one more way to make your presentation great. That's to prepare for questions. As part of your presentation planning, you should:
Think about what people might ask about your presentation content and be ready with answers. Consider how to deliver your presentation to lead people to ask certain questions that you're prepared for. Prepare an answer for when you've got no answer so that you're not left floundering.
9. Practice the Presentation
When you're happy with your slides and have prepared for questions, it's time for some presentation practice. This is where you do a complete run-through of your presentation, with both your presentation script and the slides.
As you practice, pay attention to anything that doesn't flow, or is hard to say. Edit both your script and your presentation slides to remove these items. You don't want to be stumbling over your words on the day.

6 Tim Dosen English for Communication 1 Biro Bahan Ajar eLearning dan MKCU http://pbael.mercubuana.ac.id/ Some people prefer to practice alone but consider using a few friends or trusted colleagues as a test audience. It's a good way to make sure your material is clear and easy to understand.
10. Prepare the Room
When thinking about how to practice for a presentation, there's one element some people overlook: the presentation space. If it's possible, check it out well before it's time for you to present.
One thing to pay attention to is the presentation equipment. Whether you're using a laptop and screen, a projector and screen, or some other piece of technology, get familiar with the presentation technology so you can ensure it'll work as expected.
11. Adjust Slide Design For Virtual Displays
If you're doing a virtual presentation, one of the most important tips for presentation preparation is to adjust the design of your slides. People will tune in from different size screens. So, make sure you don't have any text too near the top, bottom or sides of the slide, or some people won't be able to see it.
12. Look After Background and Lighting
We've all been on Zoom calls where the speaker is backlit, or where there's something distracting in the background. Avoid both of these so your audience can focus on your presentation. Experiment with the room you're presenting in to find the best lighting or get a ring light or two to ensure your face is always visible. And consider using a virtual background to keep distractions to a minimum.
Presentation Preparation: Online vs In-Person
2021 English for Communication 1
7 Tim Dosen English for Communication 1 Biro Bahan Ajar eLearning dan MKCU http://pbael.mercubuana.ac.id/ More conferences and events are being held online, and that's likely to continue. That means going one step further to understand how to develop a presentation to give a virtual audience a great experience. Stephanie Schwab comments:
"A lot of people think that giving an online presentation means you have to show slides the whole time - and I think just the opposite. I might have some slides to backup some of my points, but I'm usually pretty fluid between sharing my screen with a slide and then turning off sharing, so that the online audience can focus on me."
Do you wonder "what is a good presentation for online audiences?" Here are some differences in presentation preparation between online and in-person presentations.
You can't read the room. When presenting in-person, you can tell if people are engaged because they may lean forward, make eye contact or respond in some way. On a video call, you may not be able to see them properly, and they'll likely be muted to avoid background noise. To make up for this, pause regularly and ask for comments or feedback. You can't rely on body language. An in-person presenter can use physicality for emphasis. That's not possible in the boundaries of a small screen. Visual cues are essential. In-person you can gesture or point at a key part of your slides. That's harder on a small screen. So, design your slides with visual cues like arrows and circles to direct your audience to what's most important on any slide. Working technology is more important for virtual presentations. It's essential to ensure your mic and camera are working properly so you look professional. In contrast, you always have the option of going tech-free in an in-person presentation. You handle questions differently. In-person, it's pretty easy to see when someone has a question, especially in a small room. Online, that's much

Camera position is crucial. In-person, you may not have a camera. Even if you do, you can walk around the room to make eye contact with different people. That's not possible online, so make sure you're looking directly into the camera. That will allow you to make virtual eye contact with every participant.
