Define your goal
Powerful presentations are clear, relevant to their audience, and effective in achieving their purpose. The first step towards creating a presentation is therefore a careful consideration of three key factors:
Your message
Your listeners
Your desired outcome
These elements play a crucial role in ensuring the success of your presentation.
Your message
Think about what you want to convey to your listeners. A powerful message should be specific and focused to ensure clarity and avoid confusion. For example, instead of a broad topic like "hygiene", choose something clearer like "the importance of handwashing". Being specific not only helps you stay on track, but also makes it easier for your audience to understand your message.
Your listeners
Powerful presentations are tailored to their listeners and their needs. Consider who your listeners are and what level of knowledge they have about the topic you will be discussing. This understanding allows you to communicate effectively, engage your listeners, and make your message relevant to them.
The desired outcome
What do you want your listeners to take away from your presentation? Define your desired outcome, whether it's to inspire action or evoke specific emotions. Clarity regarding your desired outcome increases the chances of your message resonating with your listeners and leading to the intended results.
Conclusion
Setting clear goals is essential for creating presentations that resonate with listeners and achieve their purpose. A good goal takes into account three key factors: the message you want to convey, your listeners, and the desired outcome. By framing your goal from the beginning, you pave the way for a focused delivery that meets listeners' expectations for clarity and substance, which ultimately ensures the success of your presentation.
