The one thing differentiating work presentations from all the generic public speaking presentations

What makes business presentations different from generic public speaking presentations? When we think about improving our presentation skills, we often focus on becoming more confident, charismatic, and engaging speakers. But what if that's not enough to become a better presenter at work? A few years ago, I found myself confused by all the public speaking advice out there. Despite attending workshops, reading books, and practising my delivery, I realized that most of what I was learning wasn't helping me become a better presenter in the workplace. That's when I realized that one of the biggest differences between public speaking and business presentations is how we structure our message. In this video, I'll explain why presentation structure matters so much in business communication and share a practical framework to help you organize your ideas, communicate with purpose, and guide your audience towards a desired outcome. In this video, you'll learn: What makes business presentations different from generic public speaking. Why presentation structure is just as important as your content and delivery. How to structure your presentation based on what you want your audience to think, feel, or do. The difference between presenting upwards, sideways, and downwards in the workplace. Why business presentations should go beyond simply sharing information. How to use the SCR Framework (Situation, Complication, Resolution) to organize your message. When to start with your recommendation and when to build up to it. Whether you're a project manager, designer, consultant, researcher, team leader, or any professional who regularly presents ideas, recommendations, or project updates at work, this video will help you think more strategically about your business presentations. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 – Why generic public speaking advice wasn't working for me 01:45 – What makes business presentations different? 02:37 – Why presentation structure matters 03:00 – Different presentations have different purposes 05:00 – The mistake we make when preparing presentations 06:33 – Why the same information can be structured differently 07:53 – Presenting upwards, sideways, and downwards 08:28 – Presenting upwards to senior stakeholders 09:14 – Presenting sideways to colleagues 10:14 – Presenting downwards to your team 11:22 – How to choose the right presentation structure 12:04 – Business presentations are not just about sharing information 13:30 – Introducing the SCR Framework 14:30 – Situation: Establish the context 15:40 – Complication: Explain the problem 16:30 – Resolution: Present the desired outcome 17:45 – Should you start with your recommendation? 19:20 – How to adapt your structure to your audience --- ABOUT MY CHANNEL I help professionals communicate and present their ideas clearly, confidently, and concisely in the workplace.
