For example, a presenter about a car engine should be able to differentiate between a crankshaft and camshaft. In addition, a presenter should be prepared to take criticism for previous performances and improve from that point. A presentation should be treated as a strict discipline as it represents the art of performance in terms of the language of an individual. Therefore, a great presenter should understand that a presentation is a test of confidence and understanding, thus requiring proper preparation, which mostly means continuous practice to prevent an instance of poor performance. Finally, a great presenter must have appropriate attire, preferably formal. The formal attire will give a professional perspective and can boost confidence as well as giving the presenter an impression of the working environment. julioling https://padlet.com/julioling/a4n76qytxvls/wish/329248993 2019-02-08 15:38:42 UTC https://padlet.com/julioling/a4n76qytxvls/wish/329248993 As for the question whether a great presenter is born or made, in my opinion, the debate between natural talent and exceptional learning skills is always very fierce, but most of the time, great presenters are made as presenting is more than just talking and elaborate on the presented topic. A presenter has to be able to be coherent, accurate and confident when presenting his or her topic. Talent would be an excellent addition. julioling https://padlet.com/julioling/a4n76qytxvls/wish/329252411 2019-02-08 15:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/julioling/a4n76qytxvls/wish/329252411
