Hi. In this video, you will learn 5 reasons why presentation skills are important to everyone.
Have you ever felt nervous every time you were asked to present a certain topic in front of a group of people? Do you remember your hands feeling cold, your legs shaking and sometimes your voice even trembling? Well, presentations are important to everyone, whether at school, university, when looking for a job, while at a job, when starting a business and when seeking investment or financing. It is one of the essential skills in any career whether you are an academic, a doctor or a business person. Therefore, improving your presentation skills is vital to be able to convey your message to others with full confidence and clarity.
Presentation skills are vital to everyone for the following 5 reasons:
-
Individual and Business Success: The first ‘real’ presentation an individual normally goes through is a Job Interview. How well you present yourself doesn’t guarantee success but certainly improves your chances of success. Also career growth, promotion and business progress all depend on good presentation skills.
-
Time Management: Great presenters use the most effective techniques to communicate their message across in less time focusing on the key elements.
-
Leadership: Great leaders are known for their effective ways in expressing their inspiring thoughts to their team, community and sometimes even to the public.
-
Public Image: You will be judged according to how you deliver your message. By conveying your topic clearly, you set a good image not only of yourself but also on behalf of your team or organization.
-
Stress Reduction: Miscommunication is the biggest cause of work related stress. Good presenters reduce miscommunication in their environment.
