5 tips for a successful ending to your presentation - slideshow
TRANSCRIPT
GIVE THEM SOMETHING NEW THEY DON‘T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT. Lead them to new conclusions.
Make them the center of your presentation.
ASK YOURSELF SOME QUESTIONS: What do I want the audience to understand?
How can I make them feel included?
How will the audience remember my presentation?
USE PHRASES LIKE: „Now we know that …“
„This brings us to the conclusion that …“ „Now we can be clear that …“
BE CONFIDENT OF YOURSELF AND YOUR PRESENTATION. Fishing for affirmation will make you seem unprofessional.
Even the best presentation faces the risk of ending on a negative note.
… you want your presentation to end
… you want to release the audience from listening to you
… you are not even convinced about the topic of
your presentation and are bored yourself
TRY NOT TO REFER TO THE ENDING, FOR IT WILL SEEM LIKE …
SAYING „THANK YOU“ IS A WEAK CLOSE. Speakers often don‘t prepare an ending although the end sometimes is the only thing the audience will remember.
… Check the last sentence for consistency
… Try to evoke a positive atmosphere
… Give a lasting send-off that sticks with your audience
