Effective Presentation Skills

Presentation is a method to present any information to the audience and it needs "something to present" and "skills to present". Only an extraordinary presentation can present the information effectively. After watch the video presentation of steve jobs from Apple, i admit that he is a cool presenter and we should learn from this guy.

So today, i will tell you the skills of steve jobs presenting his product and this skills will make your presentation amazing.

1. Theme
The first thing that you must tell the the audience is the theme of your presentation. In example, steve jobs say something like this: "Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone". We can see that he give his audience a reason to listen and that will attract the audience to focus on what he say.

2. Outline
Then, you must provide the outline of your presentation. This is what steve says in one of his presentation."I got 4 things i like to talk about with you today, So, lets get started!"

3. Open and Close the Element with a Clear Transition
Make the audience feel easy to follow your story with verbally open and close the element of your presentation. In example: "A perfect companion of leopard, that is the first thing i want to show you this morning".

4. Wow Your Audience
Wow! your audience and passionate about thing you want to talk with using words like:Amazing! Cool! Incredible! Unbelievevable!

5. Sell an Experience
It means you have to make numbers or statistics meaningful. In example, steve says: "we sold 4 millions iPhone to date. If devide 4 Millions by 200 date, that means 20 thousands phones everyday on average"

6. Make it Visual
What steve put in his presentation. Usually he just a little words but with big size and maybe 1 to 3 image per slide.

7. Give the Audience a Show!!
In example, steve put a thin Apple laptop inside a envelope. Then he open it at the stage. People does not expect that there are a laptop inside that envelope. This new Apple laptop is WoW!.

8. Rehearse Many Times
Show the audience the product, demo it!

9. Add "And one more thing" before end.
This is what you need to add at the end of your topic. Just add a new feature or product. This will give the audience an added bonus to use the product.


I hope this steps will help the reader to enhance the skill in presentation. Before i end this post, just want to tell you that you can Google "Garr Reynolds" for skills in presentation. This guy is a communication expert and the creator of "Presentation Zen". Thank you.

"ACTION PLAN" Untuk Menguruskan Projek - Basic

Assalamualaikum..

Hari ini saya akan berkongsi ilmu berkaitan dengan Pengurusan Projek atau Kerja dalam Penyelesaian Masalah (Problem Solving) iaitu ACTION PLAN. Kaedah ini boleh diaplikasi oleh semua org terutamanya pengurus projek, ketua projek dan lain-lain.

Action Plan ini boleh membantu kita untuk memastikan kerja-kerja yang perlu dilakukan dalam sesuatu projek itu siap pada masa yang ditentukan. Ia juga memudahkn kita untuk melihat sekiranya terdapat kerja-kerja yang tertangguh. 4W & 1H akan digunapakai dalam kaedah ini dimana What, Who, Why, When, Where, How. Cara-cara untuk menggunakan 4W & 1H ini adalah seperti berikut:
  • What (Apa) - Perkara berbangkit
  • Who (Siapa) - Tindakan ke atas siapa? Siapa yang terlibat?
  • When (Bila) - Tarikh atau masa untuk bertindak
  • Where (Di mana) - Tempat untuk bertindak
  • How (Bagaimana) - Cara-cara untuk menyelesaikan masalah itu.


Contoh:
  • What (Apa) - Ahmad must join team building program to improve skill in team work and to get good Ahmad (Ahmad perlu sertai program "team building" untuk meningkatkan kemhirannya dalam kerja kumpulan dan mendapat ahmad yang lebih bagus.)
  • Who (Siapa) - Ahmad and choosen employee (Ahmad dan perkerja lain yang terpilih)
  • When (Bila) - Date or maybe 2 times per year (Tarikh atau 2 kali setahun)
  • Where (Di mana) - Pulau Pangkor
  • How (Bagaimana) - Create Proposal for the program, Send the proposal, Approved,(Hasilkan proposal program, hantar proposal, proposal diluluskan)

Action plan ini perlu dilakukan dalam bentuk jadual supaya ia mudah diselia oleh mana-mana pihak terutamanya Pengurus Projek. Berikut adalah contoh jadual yang dihasilkan dengan menggunakan Microfoft Excel:

Coloumn "Status" adalah untuk ruangan status kerja sama ada "Done" (Siap) atau "Pending" (Belum Siap). Jadual ini boleh dibina dengan menggunakan Microsoft Excel atau dilukis sendiri. Saya mencadangkan ia dibina dengan menggunakan Microsoft Excel supaya dapat memudahkan penyelia untuk mengubahsuai dan ia nampak lebih teratur dan kemas.
