8 Steps to Stellar Presentations: Develop Your Objectives

Step 1: Develop Your Objectives

What do you want to communicate to your audience?
As you begin to prepare your presentation, decide what you want to achieve as a result.
Focus on that purpose at every stage to ensure relevance.
Use these questions to help you build your presentation:

1. What do I want the audience to do as a result of this presentation?
What do they need to know in order for them to do that?

2. What do I want to accomplish by giving this presentation?

3. What reaction do I want from my audience?

What do they need to feel in order to do that?
