Presentation Tips – new films from Speak First


As experts in presentation skills, we’ve delivered courses, presented at events, written books and updated this site with articles, all aimed at improving people’s confidence, clarity and impact when giving presentations. Now we’ve unleashed some of our presentation tips in the form of short films which we’ve uploaded onto You Tube. You can view these films below.

See Speak First trainer and co-author of Teach Yourself Presenting, Steve Bavister, give presentation tips on what to do with your hands when presenting. It may seem a small thing, but it’s a concern many people have when they come to us for training. This film will give you a few simple ideas to help you feel comfortable and look more professional and impactful when presenting.

Steve also talks about one of the most important aspects of giving a presentation: preparation. In this film he gives some tips on how to go about preparing for a presentation and how to get the focus of the presentation right, so you engage your audience and get the result you want.

Finally, take a look at our ‘Before and After’ example. See Steve giving advice and encouragement to someone making a presentation and how making just a couple of adjustments can make the experience so much better for the audience.
