Gaining and Keeping Audience Attention-Introduction

Hello class!

Since, we are business students, whether we are hoping to work in corporate world in marketing, human resource, accounting, or finance department or want to start our own business, we will all eventually have to do presentations. Effective presentation is crucial for successful leadership. Many great figures regardless of their fields were great presenter. For example, one of the best presenter in business world would be Steve Job, and activist, Martin Luther King was known for his great speech, "I have a dream", which grabs the attention of millions of people. One of the amazing speaker today is Barack Obama, his unique style of speaking grabs the attention of millions of people whether on T.V or live. You can watch Obama amazing speech here. Many of us don't know how to capture and maintain audience attention during a presentation and this is the reason why I decided to write about this topic, break it down into nine techniques and each post will be dedicated to one technique.

What are you majoring and how you think presentation will be relevant to your field? Please comment below and feel free to share anything regarding this topic.

  1. Hey Ahmad,

    I'm in accounting and I believe presenting an organized data sheet will allow the companies you are working for understand more about their financial summary. What are you majoring and how do you think presentation will be relevant?

    1. Hi Jimmy,

      I'm majoring finance and I believe that if a company ask me to prepare financial plan, I will have to present in order to explain in detail in terms of how my financial plan is useful to the company.

  2. Hey!

    I'm majoring in finance as well I think presentation skills is something that will be used everyday for me once I found a job in the world of finance. I worked in a dealership last summer and I found that you use presentation skills everyday for example explaining to a customer what their monthly payments are and going through their bill of sale.
