In this week’s episode I focus on 8 Common Business Presentation Mistakes that lots of presenters make to help ensure you don’t make them next time you present.

Here they are:

  1. Focus on your audience not you – its so easy to talk about yourself
  2. Too many words on slides – get rid of them!
  3. Not seeing the tone and style from get go – too much rambling at the beginning
  4. Not enough preparation and practice – if the presentation is worth doing you need to find the time to prep and practice
  5. Mismanaging the Q&A – lots of things to boost this
  6. Over running on time – most people do it so make sure you don’t
  7. Underestimating power of Voice – for emphasis, pause, pace etc….
  8. Not learning to deliver virtually – yo need to be good at presenting virtually

So next time you present make sure you avoid the 8 Common Business Presentation Mistakes so your presentation is awesome!
