3 PRESENTATION HABITS THAT CAN RUIN YOUR LEADERSHIP IMPACT
Jan 19, 2025
How to Avoid Common Presentation Pitfalls Introduction
Your presentation skills say a lot about your leadership style. But are you unknowingly making mistakes that reduce your credibility? These three habits can ruin even the best leaders’ impact.
Mistake #1
Overloading Your Slides with Information
Too much text on a slide overwhelms your audience and shifts their focus away from you.
The Fix
Use simple visuals and highlight only the most important points. Your slides should support your words, not replace them.
Mistake #2
Speaking Without Practicing
Winging it might seem confident, but it often leads to a scattered delivery.
The Fix
Rehearse your key points, especially your opening and closing. Practice ensures a confident and clear delivery.
Mistake #3
Ignoring Your Audience’s Reactions
Talking without observing your audience makes your presentation feel one-sided and less engaging.
The Fix
Pause to check their body language and adjust your tone or pace based on their reactions.
