1. Delivering Strategic Business Presentations Tutorial & Practice

2. Learning Objectives Apply effective delivery techniques in strategic presentations Use verbal & non-verbal communication effectively Engage the audience with persuasive delivery Deliver presentations with peer & instructor feedback

3. Why Delivery Matters Structure = What you say Delivery = How you say it Quote : 'A good structure makes sense. A great delivery makes impact.'

4. Key Delivery Techniques Voice: tone, pace, pauses Body Language: posture, gestures, expression Eye Contact: engage everyone Clarity: avoid fillers, stay on point Persuasiveness: evidence, story, rhetorical tools

5. Voice : tone, pace, pauses Tone : Shows emotion and attitude. Example : When introducing a product, use an enthusiastic tone : “ This innovation will change the way we live our daily lives!” Pace : Avoid speaking too fast (audience may miss the message) or too slow (they may get bored). Example : Speak faster during exciting parts, slower when explaining complex ideas. Pauses : Strategic silence adds emphasis. Example : “ And the result was… (pause)… a 50% increase in customer satisfaction.”

6. Body Language: posture, gestures, expression Posture : Stand upright, open stance, no slouching, shows confidence. Gestures : Use hands to emphasize points. Example : Counting “three reasons” with your fingers. Expression : Facial expressions must match your words. Example : Smile when talking about positive outcomes, show concern when addressing challenges.

7. Eye Contact: engage everyone Don’t just look at one person or only your notes. Sweep your gaze across the room. Example : In a classroom, look briefly at each group of students so everyone feels included. Tip : Hold eye contact for 2–3 seconds per person.

8. Clarity: avoid fillers, stay on point Avoid fillers like “um,” “uh,” “you know,” which distract the audience. Stay on point : Organize ideas logically and concisely. Example : Instead of saying: “So… um… basically the project kind of helps in, like, improving, you know, customer service…” Say: “This project improves customer service by reducing wait time and increasing efficiency.”

9. Persuasiveness: evidence, story, rhetorical tools Evidence : Use facts, data, or expert opinion. Example : “According to a 2024 survey, 70% of customers prefer eco-friendly products.” Story : Tell a short, relatable story to make your point memorable. Example : “Last year, one of our clients struggled with high costs. After applying our solution, they cut expenses by 30%.” Rhetorical tools : Use repetition, rhetorical questions, or contrasts. Example : “Do we want to stay stuck in the past, or do we want to embrace the future?”
