Having a super idea or prepared material does not play a role in making a decision about a performance.
The report may be motivated by external factors (company promotion, PR, etc.), as well as internal ones (the desire to exchange experiences, self-presentation in a professional environment, etc.). Any need is important for the decision-making process.
Once you have decided to give a talk, it is important to find a suitable audience member (the "releaser"), preferably one with public speaking experience, and agree on a collaboration that includes assistance in choosing a topic and title, editing the presentation and abstract, and holding 2-3 long meetings to prepare closer to the event.
In the user story format, write the main idea of the report. Find an hour of free time in your day and divide it into two, where in the first half hour you will sketch out options, and in the second - work on the wording.
After defining the main purchase shareholder database concept, we move on to developing the title and abstract. We study the program of previous or similar events and the summary of interesting reports. This is necessary for the harmony of your title with the topic. Write 3-4 titles on a sheet of paper that suit you or that you simply liked. Next to them, come up with your own titles, based on the first part of the main idea ("I want to tell you..."). It is better not to use exact titles, this will help save space for creative maneuver. Here is an example: "An excellent presentation according to the instructions" sounds better than "7 stages to a report for beginners."
We do the same with the abstract, this time take the second part of the concept ("in order to..."). We focus on describing the problems that the speech will solve, and not on the content of the report itself. For example, most people experience stage fright, and often it is associated not only with the audience, but also with uncertainty about what to expect and how to prepare. "Am I doing everything right?" This report will look at how to achieve confidence in the preparation process. A person who feels brave and well prepared always makes a positive impression on the audience.
When preparing a resume, it is important to indicate your place of work and a few sentences about the connection between your experience and the topic of your speech. You can indicate your job responsibilities, but not a specific position in the company. "Gennady Blok, business process expert, former head of the ITSM consulting department at a systems integrator." You can also use the company's experience instead of yours: "Olga Orlova, tutu.ru - one of the largest tourist portals in Russia since 2000."
If you have been informed that you have been included in the list of speakers, congratulations! You can relax, gradually begin to mentally prepare and collect material for the report.
Preparation is divided into two parts: gathering materials, including the presentation (with notes), diagrams, pictures, data, and organizing the presentation (notes, rehearsals, contingencies, imagery, and "self-soothing").
Since the creation of a presentation depends significantly on the topic, target audience and other factors, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with various materials from the Internet on this topic and choose the ones you like. Several important points should be taken into account:
Don't underestimate the importance of a presentation. If you have a choice between writing a presentation outline or designing a slide, the former should be your first choice.
It is necessary to number the slides in such a way that the numbers are visible on the projector.
Take notes: a story for a separate slide, main sentences, jokes (if there are such plans) and an indication of the topic of the next page. It is better to print them out and take them to the event (or download them). Avoid repeating text from the slides. These actions are important for unforeseen situations: panic and a passive audience. Therefore, you can read your notes.
