Presentation Techniques to Shine in Front of Your Manager

I am going to teach you how to excel in your next presentation to your manager and leave a lasting impression that can help advance your career.

#1 Avoid diving into the details immediately, as this can overwhelm your manager.

Instead, begin by grounding and setting the stage for your manager with the current situation.

Here's an example: “As you may recall from our last meeting, our sales figures have experienced a 30% decline. The primary objective today is to thoroughly analyze the data, pinpoint the reasons and areas behind this decline, and formulate a comprehensive 3-step action plan to turn around the business.”

#2 Take a moment to pause and invite your manager to ask questions throughout your presentation.

This straightforward technique demonstrates high poise, control, and professional maturity.

Consider using this statement: “Let's briefly pause here. Please feel free to ask any questions or seek clarification about the data presented so far.”

#3 As you conclude your presentation, request feedback and embrace it constructively.

This gesture showcases your commitment to self-improvement and your willingness to benefit from your manager's guidance and training.

This will also leave a lasting impression when it comes to performance appraisals.

With gratitude,
