Whatever
one’s character is, it matters how one presents oneself. Presentation itself is
an art. A person’s impression is made by the way the person presents himself.
Even in the
business world, making presentations are inevitable. It is not all about making
a power- point, but to communicate your ideas so that it gets imbibed into the
minds of your clients. This was the general idea given to the students of the 9
months batch during their workshop on enhancing Presentation Skills. The
resource person, Mrs Neetha Nataraj said it rightly in the Workshop “Be confident
of what you speak and verify your facts before you speak them. For if you speak
false with confidence people will remember you for the wrong things.”
Presentations need not mean using only computer generated softwares, but also
using other forms of audio or visual media such as vox populi, charts,
illustrations, and so on.
As the
workshop progressed, the students got a detailed view of how to make
presentations, and tips on speaking, standing, dressing and body language.
After all, making a presentation indeed is an integration of all of these
different elements. After the session, the students seemed quite confident and ready
to make presentations on their own.
