Instructional Presentations - 7 Tips for Speaking to Adults

It is quite common to be asked to give a presentation or a presentations speech that is informative in nature. This can be in a business setting or community or civic groups. Many people find this to be a task that they would rather not do. They don't want to come across as boring or uninspiring. With careful preparation and an understanding of how adults learn, you can do this with great success.

When you are preparing a presentations speech or presentation to adults it is important to know the ways adults learn. The seven points below will help you create an interesting and informative presentations speech.

1. Is what you are presenting relevant to your audience? What you are saying must meet and solve a realized need of your listeners. Know your audience.

2. Relate to what they already know. Adults will match new information with what they already know.

3. Involve your audience. Active participation increases learning. One way to do this is to ask questions.

4. Be organized. It is best to begin your presentations speech with a brief statement about what you are going to tell them, then tell them, then tell them what you just told them. Don't let your audience be confused. Limit the scope of your topic and break it up into separate segments small enough to be understood. You might say "There are 3 parts to this process." Then list and explain each part.

5. Give your presentation in an interesting manner. Be sure to use good eye contact and body language. Vocal variety also adds interest. If you are presenting a lot of facts break them up with a humorous story or anecdote. Too many facts at one time will not be remembered plus we all tend to get a little bored when presented with a whole list of facts. No matter what age we are we like to be entertained.

6. Use repetition. Relating the main theme of your presentation in individual examples can be a good way to do this. Also, as mentioned above, by stating what you are going to tell your audience, then telling them in the body of the presentations speech and then telling them what you just told them is a way to use repetition.

7. Use visual aids. People learn in different ways. Seeing along with listening adds to the learning process. The use of charts and graphs for example can help a listener to visualize what you are saying.
