Articulate, Present
and Debate ideas

Introduction
 Public speaking within a
group-based debate or in
front of the audience is never
an easy task to do
 A good preparation satisfying
all the elements of a good
presentation is mandatory
 Pubic speaking should be
made in the form of stories
rather telling only the
statistics

How to analyse ideas for
communication to others?
The presentation should be
understandable to all:
 Use of jargons, uncommon
language and complex structure
of the presentation can e difficult
for the audience to understand
 The presentation should rather
be made using simple language
and following simpler
presentation protocol
(Hua et al. 016)

The contents should be engaging
 Boring statistics should be avoided
 The presentation should have statistics explained in the form of storytelling
 The presentation should be open-ended
 This should provide opportunities to the audience for sharing their opinion and asking the questions
(Hua et al. 016)

Use of storytelling techniques
 Storytelling are good techniques to engage the audience
 Storytelling can be in various forms like leadership, change, training and development etc.
(Hua et al. 016)

Conducting question-answer session
 The audience should be given the opportunity to ask questions
 Questions depend a lot on how the contents of the presentation was designed
 The speaker should be able to guess the kind of questions the audience will pose
(Hua et al. 016)

How to provoke response and
reaction?
State uncommon facts:
 The presentation should never be
made predictable
 The audience should rather keep
guessing each and every part of it
 Uncommon facts that are not yet
being covered will take the
audience by surprise
 They will feel engaged to it
provided that the speaker is aware
of the art to engage the audience

Try to engage by saying something compelling
 The speaker should focus on engaging the audience
 This could be done by using some storytelling techniques
 This could also be done by allowing an open-ended question sessions with the audience
(Herbein et al. 2018)

Ask their opinion
 Keep encouraging the audience for their honest opinion is another way to engage
them with the presentation
 The speaker should be aware of the kinds of opinions that he or she will be getting
 This will be required to acknowledge promptly to their opinions
(Herbein et al. 2018)

The discussion should be open-ended
 This means allowing the audience to engage into opinion-giving and question-
asking sessions (Herbein et al. 2018)

Make them feel their opinion matters in the
concluding section
 The speaker needs to show that audience opinion matters to the presentation
 The speaker can do this by acknowledging all the opinions in the concluding part of the presentation
(Herbein et al. 2018)

How to debate and discuss ideas?
Establish common humanity:
 Debate and discussion are two separate things
 In a debate or a discussion the speaker should create a common harmony with the
audience or the other members
 Such presentation should have stories, not just statistics
 All experiences should be honored
