are some of the presentation techniques in health information management and
their impacts:
1: Rehearse
Before
carrying out a presentation rehearse again and again and again. So you know
every detail of your talk, all the slides and the order in which they appear.
Practice in front of a mirror or even video yourself. This is the best way to
find potential tripping points, inconsistencies, and also gives you a chance to
remove all the unnecessary content in the work. But more importantly, it will
make you so comfortable with the content that you would not need notes or
prompts and you’ll appear conversational but knowledgeable. This gives the
presenter adequate confidence in the course of the presentation and this will
in the long run make the audience more convinced and be ready to accept what
the presenter is saying.

2: Don’t repeat what is written on
your slides
During
a presentation especially when using Powerpoint, It is painful when a speaker
reads verbatim what is written on each slide. The presenter should give the
audience some credit since they are going to be reading from the slide. So
repeating what is displayed on the slide verbertim make
it boring for the audience and they may lose interest on what the presenter is
saying. In fact, they feel that the presenter do not have any business being in
front of them. The job of the presenter is to give context and detail to the
one or two lines (at the most) on a slide. Or in some instances, vice versa.

3: Don’t overload your slides
In
preparation of the slide to be used for presentation, the presenter should
ensure that the slides are not overloaded; nothing is uglier or less appealing
than a slide with 15 bullet points and a graph. It’s confusing, cluttered, hard
to understand and of no value to anyone as a presentation aid. It is
recommended that 80% of the slides used in presentation should only have one
line or graphic/chart on them. This will create a mental picture of what the
presenter is saying to the audience and at the same time, it will enable the
audience to pay proper attention to what
the presenter is saying.

4: Make eye contact
Making
a presentation involves the presenter trying to convince the audience on a
particular concept and for the audience to be accept the presenter’s
viewpoints, the presenter must display a very high degree of confidence in his
or her presentation and one of the key ways to show this confidence is to
maintain eye contact with the audience. It is a display of lack of confidence
if a speaker spends all the time looking at his or her feet, the slides, notes
– anywhere but the audience. The speaker should make eye contact with the
people he or she is talking to else, the audience will see it as not being
confidence of his or viewpoint or the concept he or she is trying to pass
across to them. If a speaker cannot maintain a good eye contact with the
audience, the audience will not be ready to accept the presenter’s viewpoint.

5: Know your audience
Before
carrying out a presentation, the presenter should spend time to go over and
over the class of audience the presentation is meant for. This has proven to be a huge advantage because
this makes the presenter to beforehand get a picture of the language more
suitable for the audience. Using the appropriate language suitable for the audience
makes the audience to feel at home and participate in the process which fosters
easy understanding of the message being delivered by the presenter.

6: Move around
The
presenter should ensure that in the process of carrying the presentation, he or
she should move around. The presenter
should get out on stage, move around, gesticulate and really connect with the
audience. This make the audience to more attentive and see the presenter as
someone enjoying what he or she is doing.

7: Don’t read the script
During
a presentation, reading word for word from a prepared script is the fastest way
to put your audience to sleep. It’s also lazy. Presenters should as much as
possible avoid reading from a prepared script. It is perfectly good to have
some notes jotted down which the presenter can glance at from time to time but
anything beyond that is a disservice to your audience and to you as a speaker.

8: Slow down
During
a presentation, the presenter low down in emphasizing his or her points. It’s
really easy to rush through your content and speak very quickly, especially if
you are nervous. It’s much easier for an audience to engage with your content
if your delivery falls into a natural rhythm. Try to pace yourself and remember
to punctuate your speech with pauses to emphasis key points.

9: Make the audience laugh
Humor
is my most powerful tool when handling a presentation. A good presenter should
try to get the audience to laugh within 60 seconds from the start of the
presentation. It relieves the collective tension in the room almost immediately
and helps ease the transition into the bulk of the content.

10: Be passionate and energetic
Be
passionate and energetic about what you are speaking about. This will make it
easy for you to transfer your energy into your audience. So make sure you
project that passion during your presentation! Raise your voice when it makes
sense, be effusive, throw your hands up in the air when you’re making a point!
That type of energy is totally infectious and your audience will appreciate the
effort.
