How to Make Presentations Without PowerPoint

In these days, most of the presentations are made by a powerful tool called PowerPoint. In addition, there are lecturers and teachers who use this tool to make the learning process and teaching more interesting. However, there are some people making their presentations without using such tool.

Without PowerPoint, presentations can be quite boring. The reason is that they will be monotonous without any visual aid and music background. Presentations with PowerPoint usually provide the audience with a change in the presentation, and additionally provide the crowd with some explanations visually to the points being told. So without PowerPoint, the presentation requires the presenter to use his or her creativity. The reason is that the creativity is the only technique to keep the audience motivated and interested in the presentation!

The most important thing to be kept in mind to make a successful presentation without the help of PowerPoint is to know exactly what to talk about. If you are the matter of the issues intended to present, you will present it very well without PowerPoint. However, you should ensure making your presentation after you have learned about the nature and temperament of your audience.

At the beginning of your presentation, you need to present it and keep the end of your presentation in mind at the same time. You should know what your presentation talks about, because you may lose the audience’s interest without PowerPoint! Whatever you say, you should ensure seeing, hearing and feeling exactly what you want them to respond to. Make a strong beginning to the presentation. It is essential that your appearance and first words should be interesting enough to keep your audience glued to you listing. One of the most effective techniques to make a connection with your audience is to tell them a story or a universal appeal anecdote.

It is necessary to use props in a presentation without PowerPoint. The reason is that props are basically worth more than a thousand words. With such props, the audience tends to anchor their thoughts to these props. It makes no difference if the prop is serious or funny, small or large as long as it really relates to what you are trying to talk about and the audience can see it! Another technique to ensure that your audience loves you and your presentation although you do not use PowerPoint is to bring answers to the questions they have. As regards the audience, you can have a general idea of what their questions are; it is all dependent on you as it comes to bringing new ideas to your audience to try.

Keep in mind that because you do not use PowerPoint, you are just the visual aid and sound effect of your own presentation. People will get more interest in whatever you say, instead of overheads, visuals or fancy slides. So essentially, it is important for you as a speaker to be more well-versed and self-confident in your speech without PowerPoint.

Ways to Maximise the Potential of Your Business Presentation

Business presentations are a collateral reflection of who you are. A glimpse of your personality could be seen in the ways and the content of your presentation.

The way you carry yourself, the way you speak, deliver your sentences, tackle tricky questions with confidence and successfully convey your message, speak volumes about your personality.

Still, there are much more ways in which you can support your business presentation to reach its maximum potential.

HIGHLIGHT YOUR SUPERPOWER

A positive way to keep your audience attentive to you is to show them that you are worth their time and trust. Rather than speaking about your achievements and future goals, speak about your credibility because if even little points will exist with which the crowd will not feel connected to then the tables will instantly turn.

Talk about your goals within the first few minutes of the presentation

Choose your presentation design which corresponds with your goals, which should be introduced to your audience as early as possible. This will help your audience to correlate what you are expressing with the ‘why’ and ‘what’ you want to achieve.

Never underestimate the impact of a powerful image/quote

A business presentation is usually a collection of fertile ideas, knit together as one to illustrate a larger picture. So, the smart use of different images/quotes to introduce different ideas will supply more power to your presentation. Vocalising the quotes or speaking few important words out loud will bring your presentation to life, especially if the presentation has numerous bar graphs, bullet points, and pie charts.

GIVE YOUR AUDIENCE THE POWER TO BRAINSTORM OVER YOUR QUESTIONS

One of the unbeatable ways to make your presentation more interactive is to begin it with a question which you, yourself will answer. Like you can start with “I asked myself what all can my team will be able to do and contribution for making this project a success?”. So, based on this question you can build up your presentation. Be alert to all the questions from your audience as they are icebergs of curiosity. The more you will suffice your audience, the stronger their trust will grow in you.

Be ready to tackle tough questions

Always be confident and logical at answering the questions from the audience. There will always be questions whose responses if given without solid facts and coherence, will put your image down in your crowd’s eyes. If you know your topic as well as you’re your audience, then always keep your business binary clean and do not ever shelve any question from the audience.

KEEP YOUR OWN QUESTIONS READY IF NOBODY ASKS YOU ANY

It could be a possibility that your audience is shy or somewhat hesitant to ask you questions about your presentations. Always remember, if you face this kind of a situation, then always compose a question to yourself because ‘zero curiosity’ turns into ‘zero interest’ overnight.

Take your crowd on a final journey

Always take your crowd on a final journey before you wrap up the presentation. Highlight all the important points and tell the crowd how they will be productive if given proper attention by the appropriate crowd.

Keeping the immense support in mind which we get from the PowerPoint presentations, one should also be able to support her/himself equally well during the closing moments of the presentation because humans invented the PowerPoint and not vice versa.
