content S/he is more confident There are less chances of
alterations, mistakes or tampering with the data

monotonous if the reader is not good

STAGE FEAR IS NATURAL
Everyone faces stage fear. What is important is how you
handle it. Making yourself aware of
certain facts can help you much better.
Apexa Dharankar
STRATEGIES TO COPE
Be better prepared. Keep in mind that everyone has
this. Only way to get over it is by
facing it. Never try to be unnatural.
Apexa Dharankar
HOW TO BE BETTER PREPARED?
Rehearse the ideas, see their logical relationship.
Try to come from conclusion to the argument.
Try to present the core points in two sentences, then in five sentences, then in ten sentences.
You must be able to adjust to the time constraints yet not loose out important points.
Apexa Dharankar
REMINDING YOURSELF Reminding yourself that it is something
natural to all.The causes of fear: Expectation that you will have to do well. Inability to include too many things in
limited time. Uncomfortable feeling when too many
eyes gaze at you.
Apexa Dharankar
Eagerness to answer all questions satisfactorily.
Bad habit of critically viewing your own performance at the time of performance.
Apexa Dharankar
FACING BRAVELY
No amount of intellectual deliberation can reduce stage fear without going to the stage.
Experiencing is the best way to learn to overcome it.
Make presentation more often, convert every crisis into an opportunity.
Apexa Dharankar
NEVER BE UNNATURAL Artificiality does not interest many. You need to internalize the
principles and they should sound natural.
Form should not overweigh the content.
Chances are more that you get exposed when you try to behave what you are not.
Meta-message goes through without your knowledge.
Apexa Dharankar
DESCRIBING OBJECTS/SITUATIONS/PEOPLE
A description should start with an attention seeking statement, for example “one of the most beautiful work of arts”..
Connect the objects, situations and people to the audience.
Maintain a warm and intimate style. Ask for views from the audience.
Apexa Dharankar
Description should be lively, incisive and thought provoking. It should bring to fore some hidden insight/message.
A good description needs effective use of words.
Apexa Dharankar
INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP PRESENTATIONS A group presentation is an
attractive alternative to individual presentation as work is shared, labour is decreased and at the end during presentation the time spent in front of audience is less, so it seems less terrifying.
Apexa Dharankar
FACTORS AFFECTING GROUP PRESENTATION
Compilation of a group presentation should be tight, each part properly connecting to the other.
Each group member should not start with a greeting.
Do not start abruptly without making any attempt to connect with the preceding speaker.
Apexa Dharankar
FACTORS AFFECTING GROUP PRESENTATION
Preparation is a very important aspect that plays a vital role in group presentation.
Once the preceding speaker has completed his/her part, the next should start with a brief recap of what went before.
Apexa Dharankar
FACTORS AFFECTING GROUP PRESENTATION
At times group members end up contradicting each other. Though there are many members, the presentation is one.
There should not be any improper distribution of topics and slides.
Apexa Dharankar
FACTORS AFFECTING GROUP PRESENTATION
Plan well the sequence of appearance.
Rehearse Stick to time limit.

PATTERNS FOR PRESENTATION
Chronological patternIn this pattern ideas are arranged
keeping in mind the chronology of events. Eg. History of LDCE.
Causal patternIn this pattern the ideas are divided
in two parts- cause and effects. Eg. Green house effect.
Apexa Dharankar
Spatial patternIt is best for presentations with
geographical or structural orientation. Eg. Design of atomic reactor, Structure of an SUV.
Apexa Dharankar
Topical patternA commonly employed technique
that divides the presentation into topics and sub-topics or headings and sub-headings. Eg. Types of Cancers
Apexa Dharankar
Psychological pattern Arranging the ideas according to the
need of the listeners. Eg. Immigration: A by-product of Globalization
