Do you have an important board presentation coming up and feel the overwhelming pressure to impress? Attending a business presentation training may be just what you need!

Studies have shown that around 75% of the population has a fear of public speaking. This can be due to a variety of reasons, such as the importance of the presentation, lack of confidence, fear of being judged or criticised by their peers. 
Whatever the cause of your nerves, there are techniques you can learn to help ease your pre-presentation jitters. In this article, we’ll give you 5 essential tips by Business presentation and public speaking coach, Steve Dawson to ace your next board presentation!

1. Know Your Audience

It’s important to research and understand the backgrounds and interests of the board members you will be presenting to. Doing so will enable you to tailor your presentation to their needs and interests, making it more engaging and relevant. This will also help you expect any potential objections or questions they may have and prepare accordingly. By understanding your audience, you can also avoid the use of jargon and any sensitive cultural content in your presentation.

Many presentation skills training courses will teach you how to use this information effectively and to your advantage during the presentation without appearing too overt that you have researched them.

2. Be Prepared and Confident

Being well-prepared can have a significant impact on your confidence levels. By knowing your content inside and out you will naturally feel more confident in your ability to communicate your ideas with clarity and conviction. 

This, in turn, will help reduce feelings of nervousness and aid you in presenting with a sense of ease and assurance that will captivate your audience. When you are confident, you will also tend to speak more clearly and coherently, making it easier for others to understand and engage with your message.

3. Practise Your Presentation Beforehand

Practice makes perfect. Practising your presentation beforehand is key to delivering a successful board presentation. It will help you identify areas where you need to improve, such as pacing, tone, and body language. Practising in front of a mirror, recording yourself, or getting feedback from a trusted colleague can help you identify and address any nervous habits or mannerisms that may detract from your presentation.

Most business presentation training courses offer role-playing to hone and perfect your presentation skills. These sessions provide a safe and supportive environment for you to practise your delivery, receive feedback, and fine-tune your presentation style.

Tip: While rehearsing your presentation, practise staying within your designated time frame to avoid over-explaining which could risk losing your audience’s attention!

4. Anticipate Potential Questions

Make a list of potential questions the board members may ask and prepare thoughtful and well-researched answers. Anticipating their questions will also help you to demonstrate your expertise and knowledge on the subject matter. 

If you’re unsure about a particular question, don’t be afraid to admit it and offer to follow up with more information after the presentation. 

5. Use Data to Back up Your Arguments

Board members are typically interested in data-driven insights and facts, and using statistics and other forms of data can help support your arguments and make them more persuasive. However, it’s important to use data that is relevant, accurate, and up-to-date. Be prepared to explain the data and its implications for your presentation.

By following these five essential tips, you are on your way to deliver an impactful, engaging and interesting presentation. 

– – 

To remain cool, calm and collected, even in the face of unexpected challenges or questions during a presentation (especially to the board of directors) can be challenging, but it’s not impossible! With the right mindset and preparation, you can make a positive lasting impression on even the toughest audience.

If you’re looking to improve your presentation skills, consider enrolling in our business presentation skills training course. Developed by veteran international sports presenter, Steve Dawson, you will acquire effective strategies and practical tips to deliver compelling business presentations. 

He will share valuable insights and case studies to help you deliver your next presentation with greater clarity, confidence, and impact. With many practice presentation opportunities, this course is a great place to receive constructive feedback from other learners too!

Feeling the pressure of maintaining customer satisfaction levels, while also improving internal order efficiency and moving more goods? RPA Course can help you! This is why RPA is on the rise, especially in the supply chain management industry!

To simplify what RPA is, think of it as a means to build simple software robots that can handle repetitive actions, interacting with digital systems and software, but faster and more consistently than humans. 

With so many Robotic Process Automation courses, or RPA courses, to choose from, read on to see how this skill can further your career in logistics or help you pivot to this industry.

Through this process, RPA courses with SkillsFuture Credit subsidies can help logistics companies improve efficiency in their order fulfilment process, resulting in satisfactory order fulfilment and ultimately happier customers!

How exactly does it value-add to the order fulfilment process? We’ve listed below some of the top functions RPA can support in supply chain management!

1. Process orders faster

Validating, processing and transferring documents internally across the different departments can greatly exhaust company resources.

With RPA, vital business information can be condensed and relayed to the necessary personnel at lightning-fast speeds! They can validate different file formats according to their programming, freeing up valuable time for staff to focus on exceptional cases.

By marrying human effort and RPA, your company can improve its processing speed, mitigate downstream data risk, and safeguard intellectual property better than ever before!

2. Reduce shipping times

RPA can effectively reduce shipping delays by actively monitoring inventory levels across multiple warehouses. When products are in excess, the RPA system can notify vendors to sell, while when products are in short supply, it can place orders in advance to meet the anticipated demand before other competitors even realise!

3. Better information relayed to customers

Unlike humans, RPA bots doesn’t need to take time off!

This allows them to respond to queries almost immediately, be it through email or online chat conversations. With 24/7 availability, this leads to quicker troubleshooting and improved customer service.

In an industry where most correspondence is conducted via these means, implementing message response automation can be a true game-changer!

4. Optimise supply chain management

a. Reduce costs: One great example is that RPA can help route orders to the best fulfilment centre. This can be in terms of proximity to endpoint delivery, storage space, and even weather conditions on the road!

b. Improve order accuracy: One of the major applications of RPA in logistics is to improve a company’s customer service. By optimising shipment status communication, they remain updated on their shipment every step of the way. This system can also automatically generate emails and messages to inform customers of any potential delays.

Looking for an introductory course before you deep-dive into the world of automation in supply chain management? The Robotic Process Automation Course offered by BELLS Tech Hub is a fantastic introductory course in RPA. To access high-level, in-demand roles pertaining to RPA, learners would have to attain higher level RPA certification.

When attending a live concert, we often underestimate the amount of effort needed to bring you an immersive audio experience.

At BELLS’ very own Sound  Engineering For Live Events Course, you’ll get a chance to take a peek into the world of live audio engineering to understand how industry experts come together to maximize sound quality!

Here are some technical areas that are involved when planning for a live event!

1.Venue Acoustics

The venue’s acoustic properties can greatly affect the sound quality, so it’s important to consider when setting up the sound system. Poor venue acoustics can lead to echoes, reverb, and requires more absorption materials to reduce unwanted reflections.

Fun fact: the larger the venue (think convention halls and auditoriums), the more difficult it is to maintain audio intelligibility at high volumes. In layman speak, that’s the technical term for how we perceive speech sounds and words.

2. Speakers’ Position

The placement of speakers around the venue can vastly affect sound quality. It’s important to position the speakers in a way that will cover the entire audience while also minimizing the impact of room acoustics.

3. Microphone Technique

Proper microphone technique is an essential factor in obtaining a balanced sound output. The distance between the mic and the source, the angle of the mic, and the type of microphone are just some of the considerations audio engineers have to take note of.

Next, we’re going to start getting technical and deep-dive into the engineering side of things!

4. Sound Mixing

Front-of-house Mixing

Basic Monitor (MON) Mixing

The sound engineer should have a good monitor mix to ensure that the performers can hear themselves and each other clearly. This will help to keep the performance tight and in sync.

5. Compression and EQ

In layman terms, EQ is used to get the desired amount of frequency range in the track. Compression is then applied to control the overall volume, smoothing out volume differences and making the volume more consistent. By combining these two, they can help to balance the sound and ensure consistency throughout the event. It’s important to finesse these tools and not overdo it, as it can easily affect the sound quality negatively, plus it’s in real-time!

6. Troubleshooting During Soundchecks

A proper soundcheck is crucial for ensuring that everything is working correctly and that the sound quality is optimal, before the audience floods in. This should include testing all equipment, adjusting the sound system, solving any possible feedback or interference or connectivity issues. It’s also advised to prepare a contingency plan in the instance such scenarios occur. As an audio engineer, you must be prepared to deal with such issues at a moment’s notice.

7. Audience Feedback

Finally, it’s important to listen to live audience feedback and make adjustments as the event progresses. This will help to ensure that everyone is enjoying the performance, regardless of where they’re seated in the venue, and that the sound quality is the best it can be.

An avid lover of outdoor concerts? Do you enjoy the exhilarating feeling you get from the booming bass and piercing vocals? Fun fact: your entire aural experience is thanks to the expertise of sound engineers – the real unsung heroes of a live show! Thanks to their learnt experience from sound production courses, they keep the show running, ensuring the performers and audience both deliver and enjoy the show of their life!

A live sound engineer blends and balances multiple sounds at a live event by using a mixing console, pre-recorded material, voices, and instruments. The sounds are equalised before being routed and amplified through loudspeakers. However, every venue is different – from the outdoor arena, to the concert hall or a small, intimate bar. 

Each possesses their own unique challenges, requiring a sound knowledge of electronics and acoustics to achieve the desired sound. 

What does a sound engineer do in a day?

A sound engineer’s day  is filled with a unique blend of technical expertise and creative passion. From prepping for recording sessions to mastering the final product, this career is all about capturing and shaping sound.

• Before an event: It’s time to conduct a soundcheck! Think setting up and testing audio equipment (microphones, speakers, mixers, and other audio gear etc.). You’ll also be cordinating with the event organisers, performers, production team, clients and your own crew for technical rehearsals. Ahead of the performance, some events may require a pre-recording of live singing, sound effects, voiceovers or other audio elements.

• During the live event: Be prepared to make sound adjustments in real time, striking a balance between different audio sources to create a desirable mix. There’ll also be unexpected situations beyond your control, so it’s imperative that you stay cool under pressure and think on your feet. 

• After the event: The show’s a great success! It’s time to wrap things up, taking check of all sensitive sound equipment and returning the venue to the way it was. It’s also commonplace to stay abreast of industry trends and emerging technologies, in anticipation of future gigs!

What makes sound engineering for live events a rewarding career?

1. Express Your Creativity

Despite being an engineering profession, audio engineers are allowed creative expression in their output. This role is particularly suited for those who identify as creative individuals. It can be almost therapeutic, the way that your decisions come together in the most beautiful melody that touches the audience.

2. Always Learn Something New

With daily advances in music and technology, audio engineering requires you to keep up with the latest developments through adaptive learning. Each new technique learned, or skill acquired, fills you with more confidence and a personal sense of pride in your work.

Always thinking on your feet, you enjoy that volatility as it means every single gig is different and presents its own set of challenges.

3. Flexible Schedule

Do you abhor working the usual nine-to-five, with only two days off a week? If you take the freelancer route as an audio engineer, you get to decide your own work schedule! Depending on your choice of gigs, you have the freedom to choose your hours or work on a contracted basis.

Of course, this ability to pick and choose gigs comes with building your experience and skills. For a start, you might need to hustle harder to grow your portfolio. Once you’ve established your reputation in the industry, you’ll be surprised at how many gigs come just from word-of-mouth!

Picture this – you’re at a concert, the lights go down, the crowd goes wild, and the band starts playing. The sound is crisp, clear and perfectly captures the energy and excitement of the performance. 

This is the magic created by a live events sound engineer. 

For those who are passionate about audio and who may be thinking of dipping your toes into the world of sound engineering, here’s a beginner’s guide to get you started.

Sound Engineering 101

Sound engineering is all about creating the perfect soundscape for various audio-related applications such as recording studios, live concerts, films, video games, radio and television broadcasts, and more. It involves capturing, recording, mixing, and mastering audio using various equipment and techniques. 

Attending a sound engineering course is a great way to learn these skills and become proficient in the critical aspect of modern media production, which encompasses a wide range of technical skills including acoustics, electronics, and computer programming.

Whether it’s a big-budget film, a chart-topping album or a live event, sound engineers play an integral role to bring audio to life and make it an immersive sound experience for the audience. 

General Sound Engineering vs Sound Engineering for Live Events 

While the techniques are similar, there are some key differences between sound engineering in general and sound engineering for live events.

General sound engineering:

• Works in a studio or a controlled environment
• Has the luxury of time and resources to carefully craft and perfect the sound
• Uses advanced recording techniques, such as multi-track recording and editing
• Involves technical skills such as manipulating sound signals, and using software and hardware to produce high-quality audio

Sound engineering for live events:

• Conducted  in a live setting 
• Fast-paced and dynamic
• Involves a more hands-on approach to adjust the sound to suit the ever-changing conditions of a live performance. This can include dealing with unexpected changes in the acoustics of the space, dealing with feedback and other issues
• Requires a unique set of skills and knowledge to overcome these challenges 

The goal of a live event sound engineer is to achieve the best balance between sound quality and coverage, taking into account the acoustics of the venue, the performers on stage, and the audience.

With that being said, the fast-paced and dynamic nature of live events requires sound engineers to have a unique set of skills and knowledge which makes this role both challenging and exhilarating.

Demand & Salary of Sound Engineers 

The high demand for live event sound engineers in Singapore is driven by a thriving events industry, which includes international conferences, concerts, festivals, and other live performances. Singapore’s reputation as a business and tourism hub has also led to a steady influx of international events, which has resulted in high demand for skilled sound engineers who have graduated in sound production courses. 

According to glassdoor, the average salary of a sound engineer working in Singapore is SGD$ 3,581 a month. However, sound engineers who have more experience and specialized skills may command higher salaries.

Do you still remember any takeaways from your last presentation skills training?

In an increasingly remote / hybrid working model, virtual presentations are fast becoming a staple in the workplace for internal and external communication needs. This is true for both agile start-ups and brands with a distinguished legacy.

In this article, we’ll be sharing some of the most common challenges faced during virtual business presentations, and a quick refresher on how to improve your presentation skills!

What’s The Difference Between Presenting Online Vs In-Person (Plus Some Common Challenges Faced!)

1. Presenting Online

• It might be more challenging to maintain the attention of the audience, as attendees may be distracted by their computer screen, other devices, or even ambient noise from their surroundings.
• You have to rely mostly on technology to create an interactive experience, such as polls and Q&A sessions.

2. Presenting In-person

• With presentation skills training, you can learn how to deploy body language and other nonverbal cues to engage your audience!
• For an in-person presentation, you may need to prepare physical materials, such as handouts or props, whereas in an online presentation, these materials can be shared digitally.

In both instances, public speaking courses are an effective way to build confidence and speak in front of larger groups of audiences.

If you’re looking to take presentation skills training to engage your remote teams better, here are some tried-and-tested tips from business presentation experts!

1. Talk straight to the camera: Establishing eye contact is a lot more important than you realise. It shows that you’re confident and focused, and it helps to establish a connection with your viewers.

2. Curate your visuals: More often than not, your speech is to help direct your audience and explain key points and images presented on the slide. As such, use relevant and impactful visuals that convey the essence of your presentation.

3. Dress for the occasion!: Don’t let your guard down just because it’s a virtual presentation! It’s a great way to build confidence and leave a killer first impression. Plus, it shows professionalism and respect for the client, and it can help to build trust.
