Having good presentation skills involves clearly and confidently sharing ideas with an audience. These skills aren’t just for adults — young people can also learn how to give strong presentations. Research shows that when they are able to develop these skills early, they become more comfortable speaking in front of others.
The Successful Presentation Skills handout provides clients with easy steps to improve their presentations. It offers strategies on how to be prepared before a presentation, what to focus on during the presentation, and tips for improvement.
Improving presentation skills can help kids and teens connect more effectively with their audience. Caring adults can guide them to recognize common mistakes and provide opportunities for them to present in relaxed settings, so they feel more comfortable before speaking to larger groups.
This handout pairs well with our 3-page Presentation Skills worksheets.
