Adding power to the four
phases of the presentation:
A presentation is the process of showing, explaining or
presenting on a topic to an audience. It is typically:
• a
demonstration
• introduction
• lecture
• or speech
It is meant to
inform, persuade, inspire, motivate, or to build goodwill or to present a new
idea or product.
Every presentation must have 4P’s which are as below and
must be followed with the bottom-up approach.

connected our audience will be to us”
We can practice
until we become familiar with speech. We can practice:
