What do we mean by ‘staging a presentation?’ Well, how many times have you listened to a presentation and been totally confused? Do you often get lost listening to a presentation? Or even giving a presentation yourself?

Well, if so, this has probably happened because the presenter did not stage their presentation well.  The staging is the framework or structure of your presentation. Just as you have to plan a business report or a University essay, you also need to plan and structure your presentation well.  Your main objective is to convey your message clearly and concisely.  How can you achieve that if your ideas and points are mixed up and your presentation has no direction?  

Read these tips on how you can improve the structure of your presentations.  These tips are based on a more traditional structure and are not meant to be the ONLY method.  But, try out these ideas and see if your colleagues are impressed by your presentation skills.

Finally there are some activities designed to help you put into practice the advice you see here.
