Today, we\u2019re going to focus on how to get your presentation off to a good start.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessenglishpod.com\/category\/video-conference-english\/\" title=\"Videoconference in English\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Videoconferences<\/a> are now a normal, everyday part of business life. And people have had to develop a new set of skills for this new reality. Consider giving a presentation online. It definitely brings some new challenges, especially technical ones. But virtual presentations also require many of the same skills as presenting in-person.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you still need to be engaging and confident, especially at the start as you get people excited about your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessenglishpod.com\/category\/presentations\/\" title=\"business English presentations\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">presentation<\/a>. And besides getting them excited, you need to help them understand. So outlining your presentation clearly is also a good idea. <\/p>\n<p>Now, how can you present information and data in a way that keeps your listeners engaged? Well, for one thing, you can talk about your own experience. And you can also relate the information to your listeners\u2019 experience. That will help your presentation connect with your audience. And finally, one technical skill that you\u2019ll need in the virtual format is sharing your screen.<\/p>\n<p>In today\u2019s dialog, we\u2019ll listen to part of an online presentation given by Adam, who works as a business consultant. He\u2019s presenting on the topic of sales to several colleagues, including Chris, Nancy, and his boss Heather. We\u2019ll hear how Adam begins his online presentation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Listening Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.\tWhat is the last thing Adam will do in his presentation, according to his outline?<br \/>\n2.\tWhat experience does Adam talk about to ground his presentation?<br \/>\n3.\tWhat information does Adam present on his shared screen?<br \/>\n\u2003<br \/>\n[tp
