clearly will be seen by audience as honest and
committed to win -win outcome presenter who fail
explain fully the thinking behind their ideas may be
viewed as tactical playing power games and
attempting to manipulate their audience it may
take more time to be explicit, but benefits are clear.

• Presenter who provide a clear vision of the future
with step by step guidance on how to reach that
vision will be more engaging and influential for
some audience vision is best communication with
inspirational anecdotes or stories rather than facts
and figures.

confidence can be infuential without sophisticated
argument should data how ever there is a fine line
between appearing self-confident and appearing
arrogant.

inspire positive thinker with energy and enthusiasm
dedicated to finding creative solutions are more
appearing to audience.

their interest . All most all the leaders and
presenter use this art of storytelling to engage to
inform to influence and to inspire the audience
there are certain types of storytelling techniques.

how you feel a difficult , choice an e...... Moment or
how you achieved success an expected can be a
perfect way to reveal personal values.and
established a basic for other to know respect and
trust you.
25. A learning experience

into a current problem is a common device to
promate acceptanced of a solution which you are
advocating sharing a learning experience

powerful way to back up a solution you are
promoting.

experienced either you misunderstood someone or
they misunderstood you can be an interesting way
to ask an audience not to misunderstood you the
anecdotes should promote an thinking to what
might be rather unpleasant content in your
presentation.

• Telling a story about peseveland of persistence in
the face of hardship of success against all adds is a
difficult times and motivate people to continue
believing with a " Never say die" attitude These
stories tend to rely on anecdotes from famous
historical or contemporary figure but work better if
they touch on an element of the persentes own life
story.
28. Fantacy story
• Do it at the right the right time
• Telling a story is a higher risk presentation style it
risk presentation style it requires performance skills
and an audience ready and willing to participate in
the game if the audience is not leave you exposed
and looking rather foolish so by all means plan to
interegate a story into your presentation but judge
the mood of the audience on the day .
29. • If you don't feel your created the necessary rapport
to tell the story play safe and drap it. If you do go
for itm you may want to introduce an occasional
touch of irony as you go through the story just to
avoid any feeling that you might be taking this story
telling business too seriously.
30. Creat a scenario
• You need a situation with a hero or heroine facing a
monument change remember it's the eventual
victory against huge odds. Which is the dynamic of
a good story so we need passion and emotion built
into the situation early . However don't waste too
much time in the set up with boring details or you
will lose the audience. More out out an archetypal
framework towards the happy endings.
31. Narrate with passion

skills particularly important excitement your
whispered description and dramatic pouses
releasing the the tension with supported by
dramatic it is a hig risk style.
32. Build to a climax
• Of course , the moral of the story always comes at
the end always , come at the end but don't labour
it or you risk patronising your audience. Aim for a
simple one line statement to finish which allows
the audience to get the point with maximum
impact . Then move swiftly back to the business
content of the presentation.
33. Let's get interactive
• The presenter always has to think of the ways by
which he can involve his large numbers of audience in
presentation. Getting interactive with your audience
always help a presenter bring out activeness and
maintain positive atmosphere.
• A presenter should not rely simple on telling things
to his audience instead of that he should always find
some points or rather stages when he can in volve his
audience and make them feel important there and
different types of activities a presenter can try in his
presentation.
34. Who am I ?
• Label each corner of the room as an animal for
example. Tiger,shark, squirrel, Then ask the
audience members to go to the corner which best
describes their personality.

presenter can find out opinions of audience
members on a keen topic. It can be done in.
