As a keynote speaker you are expected to deliver a message or a presentation that would move the lives of the audience members so that they will be motivated to do better at home or at their jobs. This sounds simple enough but it is somewhat difficult when you lack preparation. If you were hired by your client on the last minute before the function then brace yourself to do a lot of improvisations and corrections with your presentation. Expect some audience members to get confused and get bored easily. So in order to deliver a thumbs-up presentation you have to be hired weeks in advance and do the necessary research and preparation for the function you will be presenting.
Presentation Preparation- This is the most important step that you must first do in order to deliver a very plausible presentation. Get everything prepared before the big presentation so that you can note any errors or make the necessary corrections. Acquire the topic from your client so that you can do research on it. Remember that your audience members consists of different kinds of personalities so you must find a common ground to make each member of your audience to understand the concept of your presentation.
Research- As the keynote speaker you cannot just give your presentation without doing proper research about the company or the organization that hired you. Always remember that these companies or organizations have different outlooks towards their goals so be sure that your presentation is well prepared to further aim their goals towards the right direction. Research about techniques and ideas that can further develop their way of thinking and their work so that they might know how to be more efficient at work or at home.
Citing Examples- When you deliver your presentation always cite examples of success techniques and stories that other companies or other people have implemented. This will be the audience's basis or example so that they can catch ideas and concepts to apply to their daily work ethic or upon their daily lives. Also show inspirational stories about persons that have started out with nothing but ended up being an owner of some multimillion dollar company. These success stories will inspire your audience to go out and seek out their own success stories so that they may truly dub themselves as successful individuals.
Handing Out Forms- This is one way that you can evaluate your presentation. Before the start of the function, as the keynote speaker, hand out evaluation forms to the guests so that they may rate your presentation according to how you delivered it and how you made an impression on the audience. At the bottom of the form leave a space for feed-backs and suggestions that might make your presentation more excellent. After the presentation gather all the forms and read through them. Don't mind the stupid comments and suggestions but read through the positive and negative comments. This is one way to ensure if you truly have given an excellent presentation or you need to tune it up a notch.
