Once you have gained control of your materials and practiced in steps 1 and 2<\/a>, you can focus your full awareness on each moment of your presentation<\/a> to truly give your audience the best possible experience. Live by the principle, \u201cBe here now,\u201d and your audience will be there with you.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Use This Time-honored Approach to Make Your Presentation Meaningful to Your Audience:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Introduce yourself and your topic \u2013 build rapport with your audience and establish your credibility. Use a story or anecdote; a tasteful and relevant joke; or one attention-getting word, fact, or statistic.<\/li>\n
  2. State your message \u2013 identify your specific goal. \u201cAt the end of our session, I hope that you will \u2026 [know] [understand] [do, take action].\u201d Tell your audience, \u201cWe\u2019ll be together for [## minutes], and we\u2019ll use [##] of those minutes for [questions and answers, or discussion, or an activity in which you participate], so let\u2019s get started.\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. Briefly tell the story of your involvement with the topic \u2013 why you care, how you became involved, what important results are for the research and applied communities. Reiterate your specific goal for what they take away from your presentation.<\/li>\n
  4. Hit the highlights \u2013 introduce the main points you\u2019re going to elaborate on.<\/li>\n
  5. Elaborate on those points \u2013 use stories, examples, demonstrations. Remember, your allotted time may permit you to discuss only the major details, but you can hand out a more lengthy paper at the end.<\/li>\n
  6. Lead up to the conclusion \u2013 help your audience think their way to the specific goal or impact you identified in step 2.<\/li>\n
  7. Clinch your goal \u2013 state the conclusion you want the audience to reach or the action you want them to take.<\/li>\n
  8. Engage them in a dialog or activity related to your research. At least, initiate a question and answer period. If time allows, have them take a sample of a survey used in your research or encourage them to discuss a point for further research in small groups and then have a member of each group tell the entire audience what they thought. Practice with colleagues how long this may take and leave time for it.<\/li>\n
  9. Wrap it up with thanks \u2013 make your closing statement, usually a reiteration of your specific goal, and thank the audience for their participation with your wishes for their own successful research projects. Offer your contact information if you want to invite further questions or collaboration opportunities.<\/li>\n
  10. Get written feedback \u2013 during your conclusion, distribute a one-page evaluation form with statements of the key elements of your presentation, each with check-boxes on the effective-to-ineffective or “loved it” to\u00a0“hated it” or “totally agree” to\u00a0“totally disagree” spectrum. Tell the audience you care about their response to your topic and ask them to complete the evaluation. Allow audience members the choice of handing you the form or placing it on a table anonymously on their way out.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
