If you\u2019re like many busy business professionals, you\u2019re rushing to finish your presentation slides at the last minute and definitely don\u2019t have time to practice your delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sound familiar?<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the problem\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Your slides may be logical, comprehensive, and beautifully designed.<\/span><\/p>\n

But if you\u2019re nervous, tongue-tied, and using weak body language, your reputation and results are at risk.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are 3 ways to save time practicing presentations. Less effort, more impact!<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Rehearse at the venue (if you can) to ease nerves<\/strong><\/p>\n

Find out where you\u2019ll be presenting – the meeting room or stage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you can run through your presentation there in advance, your subconscious will become familiar with the environment and you\u2019re less likely to feel nervous or go blank.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re speaking at a seminar or conference, for example, it’s ideal if you can get up on the stage and practice before people come into the room.<\/span><\/p>\n

This will help you to ease your nerves and ultimately save time.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Bring parts of your presentation into conversations with colleagues<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most likely, the topic of your presentation is one that you have experience or expertise in.<\/span><\/p>\n

That means you probably talk about it from time to time with colleagues or friends, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

So, use those conversations as opportunities to practice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This doesn’t have to be in a formal presentation rehearsal. Just be aware of what you\u2019re saying, how you\u2019re saying it, and how others are responding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This will help you to refine your delivery and speak more smoothly and confidently. And the best part is that it doesn\u2019t require any extra time.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Practice in your mind\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite technique for practicing presentations is to rehearse in my head while I\u2019m doing something else that doesn’t require conscious thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, when I’m in the bath or shower or doing the dishes, I\u2019m often visualizing an upcoming presentation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Visualization is a popular and effective technique used by top athletes around the world and it works well for presentations too.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you find it difficult to \u201csee\u201d an image of you giving your presentation, imagine what it sounds like or feels like. Do what works for you!<\/span><\/p>\n
