How can Presentations be beneficial? The techniques to engage the audience, in ways that lets them know they have your attention while you present, and you have their attention.
Understanding what they are looking for, what they need. Getting the attention of the audience, not letting them get distracted from the points you are trying to convey. The use of colours, images, animations.
While studying some time ago, a presentation made on a architectural company I was working for, got the students attention. I realised it was due to how I engaged the students, not so much the content. Yet, the students listened for the entire presentation, taking in what I had to say about an Architectural company. The transitions between different points about the company, the students followed how each point started, and moved on to the next point.
If for example, you are working in a Project team. Making a presentation to the team members, knowing you have their attention, they get useful information from the presentation, and importantly the members are on the same page as a result.
There are plenty of benefits to an engaging presentation. Even if you believe the topic is not incredibly fascinating, as said, the use of colours, images, and animations...the use of these in the right amounts, with good timing as well, can really have the audience listening in on the edge of their seats.
