Delivering a Presentation DELIVERING PRESENTATIONS Delivering a How-To Presentation Knowing how to give a how-to , or process , presentation is one of the most useful things you can learn about speaking. Giving clear directions is important not only in the classroom but also in the world of work. Many people’s jobs involve giving this type of presentation, for example, to train new employees or to demonstrate a product to potential buyers. When you create a set of directions for others to follow, think through the process carefully. Make certain the steps you provide are complete, accurate, and in the proper sequence. Choose a Suitable Topic The topic you choose for your how-to presentation should be one you are familiar with or can learn about easily. Also keep in mind your listeners’ interests. Try to select a process that will appeal to the audience. Processes you might explain include the following:  Getting a driver’s license 3.

Then give the details needed to complete each step. Be sure to specify the materials needed and carefully explain the tasks involved. Follow these guidelines:  Use transitional words such as first , second , and next to help readers keep track of the steps of the process. Using transitional words also will help you keep your place in the presentation.  Before you move from one step to the next step, be sure your listeners have understood what you have described. If they look confused, review what you have said or ask if they need clarification.  Use visual aids in your presentation so you can demonstrate the process while you describe it. Doing so will make your presentation more interesting to listeners and also may help calm your nerves. To ensure audience members will be able to see what you are doing, use large photographs and diagrams or an oversized model. 2b.
