Introduction
Presentation skills is an ability to sell oneself and to create a desired image in the minds of the audience. To sell a product you have to first sell yourself. If a person is accepted, and appreciated, his product will sell for sure.
Presentation gives us the opportunity to influence the attitude of our audience in our favor. Many professionals are smart enough to take full advantage of this opportunity and give their best, whereas many may dismiss this as support activity and lay the blame on the product or competition. Research shows that effective presentation skills gave that extra edge which made all the difference between successful and not so successful professional.
At personal level also, public speaking is one skill which sets people apart and gives them an edge over others. It can have a dramatic effect on your professional and private life. Public speaking is that art which adds luster to anyone’s personality. Often the difference between a manager and leader is the ability to present his views emphatically to a group.
