Having to inspire and engage a room full of people is challenging – imagine doing so through a small screen on your desk. Despite this, it\u00a0is\u00a0<\/em>possible to ace your online presentations, to make them as effective and efficient as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From incorporating interactive elements to simply being present, listed below are some tips to help better your online presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1 Be Present<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s presenting online or in-person, It\u2019s important to keep your audience engaged. Instead of screen-sharing a deck of slides, consider turning your video feed on to better interact with your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, refrain from constantly referring to your notes or toggling in-between devices to avoid distractions or loss of engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 Include Interactive Elements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From polls to Q&A, there\u2019re a variety of ways to engage your audience throughout a presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond driving active participation, build a rapport through injecting interesting anecdotes and encourage conversations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 Simplify Your Slides, Then Simplify Again<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do away with chunky texts and incorporate visual representations or examples such as infographics and videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only will this help with the engagement level, but it\u2019ll also help with keeping your presentation crisp and on-track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4 Don’t Be Afraid To Embrace Pauses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pauses (especially overly long ones), can get a little uncomfortable during real-life conversations. It may be counter-intuitive, but it\u2019s essential to avoid turning your online presentation into a monologue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to pause during appropriate times, to encourage participation or questions from the floor. Lengthening your pauses at times can also prevent interrupting potential comments.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 Minimise Distractions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Prepare for your presentation by scouting for the quietest room\/corner in the house. After all, nothing says distraction like the blasting sound of your parents\u2019 favourite TV programme or your pet vying to get your attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents may also consider engaging the help of your partner or keep your child(ren) engaged with an activity before going into the presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#6 Check Your Equipment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From testing the audio to ensure a stable connection, be sure to conduct a trial presentation before going into the actual one. The last thing you\u2019d want is to discover that your mic isn\u2019t working halfway into the presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s Not Rocket Science, But It’s Not Child’s Play Either<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It may take some time getting used to, but the key to conducting a great online presentation is keeping your audience engaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While active participation is important, keep in mind that you don\u2019t have to answer all of the questions and instead, follow up with the relevant individuals post-presentation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It’s not rocket science, but it’s not child’s play either.\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":4735,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[93],"tags":[331,332,241],"yoast_head":"\n6 Practical Tips To Help You Design And Deliver Better Online Presentations | DollarsAndSense Business<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Online presentations are now a fact of life.
