What’s the best way to make a presentation to executive management?
You frustrated you are dragging your feet to prepare presentations to upper management, even though you never procrastinate anything else in your to do list. You hate PowerPoint, and is sure everyone else does the same.
I’m here to provide you some tips on what to consider when creating your presentations, even if you are not offering value. And you don’t even need to use power point, if you don’t want to. Listen to some insights and make your executive presentations more meaningful to you and to your audience.
Consider if your presentation is really necessary or you can communicate the same message without using PowerPoint. Understand the causes you are dragging your feet, like not scheduling enough time to prepare it, or collecting data. Think about the purpose of your presentation, who should be attending it and what’s the outcome you want when people leave the room. Have a few things at hand to help you during the delivery of the presentation. Finally, keep it short and sweet, make it meaningful.
