Want to score your own presentation? Is it good? or bad a.k.a faulty? Well, to help you score your own presentation, I’ve wrote 6 signs of a faulty presentation. Let’s know whether your presentation was faulty or not.

1. The audience does not get the value of your presentation

No matter how good your presentation is, how fun it is, if the audience does not get the value of your presentation, it actually does not go well.

When you talk about bicycle, no matter how hard the audience laugh because of your joke about “square-shaped tire”, if the audience does not get the value of your presentation like “why bicycle is the best transportation device in the matter of human health”, then, your presentation is just a bullshit, because it just entertains, not educates.

2. Some of the audience slept

Yeah, as all of us know, sleeping audience means that our presentation is boring. That hurts, and that’s the sign of faulty presentation.

And how to fix this? I think your presentation lacks curiosity point. You must add some curiosity points and some promises to keep the audience awake. And one thing again, no matter how much you add curiosity points, the audience will fall asleep anyway if you don’t serve them with interestingly great content.

3. The audience wasn’t impressed with your “special moments”

You’ve made a quote, made some promises, and told a story, the audience was not impressed anyway. This is a sign of faulty presentation.

But, why is this happens? Yeah, I see two possibilities here. First, the audience think that your quote, story, etc. is a mainstream one. They have seen it in their life with a slightly different form, or unfortunately, exactly same. The second possibility is that your audience does not get what you mean. They may think that your quote is too confusing or unrelated.

4. The audience just went and left

“Went and left” here means that your presentation is not remarkable enough to make the audience leave with gratefulness or regret inside their mind. This is a sign of faulty presentation because you wasted your chance. The chance to make people remember you and your presentation. People just went to your presentation and left plainly, thinking that your presentation was “plain and boring”.

5. You didn’t make any special moment

This case is rare, but it may possible. Usually, most of us spontaneously make special moments, which means that we don’t plan about it. But, sometimes, we did not make any special moment at all. This will absolutely make your presentation bad, literally, faulty.

6. There are no “feeling” in your presentation

This one is the one you mustn’t forget. Maybe your presentation educates people well, but it does not have any “feeling” in it. You may tell people about how many people died in World War, but you don’t tell people how it feels to know your closest friend dead. Actually, this “feeling” is more important than the content itself. This “feeling” is the one that makes your presentation remarkable. This “feeling” is indirectly classified as special moment too.

That’s 6 signs that you’ve done a faulty presentation. All I can say is to be okay if you did a presentation like this. We live, we learn. Never give up, keep speaking.
