In any presentation, these 3 elements must exist.:
1) People The presence of people (audience) is an important factor before you go up and give your presentations. If there is no audience, there is no need to even put up a presentation! Having said that, it is important to know who your target audience are. You can use this checklist to help you determine your audience. a) Who are they? eg Working adults/ School kids/ Youths? b) What's in it for them listening to your speech? eg increase wellness, reduce debts c) What is the Call to Action for them after your speech? eg buy your books, enrol in your classes, join your emailing list By knowing who your audience are, it will help you prepare your content. 2) Presenter Once you know who are your target audience, you can then prepare your yourself as a presenter. You will have to decide two main factors - your message & the medium of delivery. You can use this checklist below to help you determine your message and medium: Message: a) Is your message going to inform/ educate/ persuade/ inspire the audience? Medium of delivery: b) Are you using slides/videos/ music/ or just you speaking on stage? 3) Place It is important to to know the location and type of room you are going to present. Knowing the place beforehand helps you to prepare your mind and energy. A big space requires you to exude more energy as compared to a smaller venue. You can use this checklist below to help you determine your presentation venue: - Is the presentation going to take place at the expo/workshop room/ seminar room/ on stage/ lecture hall Prior your next speaking engagements, ensure you have these primary information first.

Delighted to have conducted a two-day public speaking workshop at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In partnership with our training partner, Diamanthes Pte Ltd, The Speaking Factory conducted "Ignite the Stage: Developing High Impact Public Speaking and Presentation Skills" was conducted on 22nd-23rd April 2014 at Royale Chulan Hotel for staff of Petronas (Malaysia) and Petramina (Indonesia). Over the two days, participants went through the different stages of developing confidence in speaking - from stage awareness, managing fillers, improvisation etc. Using The Speaking Factory's tried and tested techniques of theatre and acting techniques, the participants sure had fun. Honoured to receive feedback from participants that they had no chance of sleeping in class, and some even wanted to extend the training into a third-day session.
