About Presentation Skills and Public Speaking
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
Most of the page is made up of mind maps, and they follow a talk from first nerves to final slide. Some deal with confidence, such as Ways to overcome stage fright., which suggests visualising a successful outcome, belly breathing, greeting your audience with a smile and turning negative self-talk into positive thinking. Be a More Confident Public Speaker looks at glossophobia and the Triple-P Method.
Where to start
If you are new to the topic, begin with the planning maps. Ace That Presentation is organised by week and takes you through finding your why, research and planning, and types and styles. 10 elements of effective presentations starts with knowing your audience and goes on to visual aids. Then move to the delivery maps.
- Plan: purpose, audience and structure.
- Prepare: practise, check technology and rehearse your opening.
- Deliver: voice, pace, eye contact and body language.
Delivery and design
Presentation Top Tips: covers slide layout, content and organisation, and delivery, including speaking clearly and loudly enough, making eye contact and pacing yourself. Public Speaking Tips suggests practising in front of friends or a mirror. If slides are your worry, look at AVOID DEATH BY POWER POINT and Present Like Steve Jobs. The notes on what to do with your hands and on great openings and closings add practical detail.
Using maps and quizzes together
Read a map, then close it and say the main points aloud, as if giving the talk. The Public speaking midterm quiz and a second practice quiz let you check what stuck. Flashcards such as Debate Etiquette - The Do's and Don't's are handy for short revision bursts. Go back to any map where your answers were shaky.
Where it sits
This unit belongs to the Communication and Collaboration strand of Personal and career development. Choose one resource today, and consider making a map of your own for your next talk.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
If you feel nervous, open the mind map on ways to overcome stage fright. If you need to plan a talk, start with Ace That Presentation, which runs from finding your why through research and planning to types and styles. Both are quick to read.
What do the mind maps cover?
They cover the whole journey of a talk: purpose and audience, structure, slide design, openings, delivery, body language and handling fear of public speaking. Several are titled as tips or key elements, so you can compare different takes on the same skills.
Are there quizzes to test myself?
Yes, there are 2 quizzes. One is a public speaking midterm and the other is a practice quiz. They are short, so they work best after you have read a few maps and want to see what you remember.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you create your own maps, flashcards and notes.
Who is this page useful for?
University students and school students can use it to prepare presentations and practise delivery. Teachers can pick maps, slide sets and flowcharts to share with a class, such as the slides on speech writing or preparing for presentations.
What if I cannot find the topic I need?
Try a nearby resource first. The notes on impromptu speeches, the debate research map and the flowcharts on making presentations cover different situations. You can also build your own map or notes on the missing point and keep them for later.
