All of these scenarios can very well result in a mediocre presentation that isn\u2019t worth the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, how do you pick the right topic? How do you zero in on something that will be a win-win for everyone involved?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s what we are here to help you figure out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s explore what it takes to find the right topic that will result in a powerful presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Features of a Good Presentation Topic <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- The topic should be clear, well-defined, understandable, and specific and must not require an in-depth explanation. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- It should be relevant to the audience and the current issues, trends, and context.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The topic should be actionable and driven by purpose. The goal is to offer thoughtful insights and solutions that alleviate people’s pain points and concerns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Why Does Selecting a Topic Matter so Much?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nBefore starting with the \u2018how,\u2019 let’s understand the \u2018why\u2019 behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- A strong topic will draw the audience\u2019s attention and keep them engaged and interested throughout.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- A perfect topic will give your presentation the required direction and purpose, leading to a successful delivery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If you like the topic, you will automatically deliver more vigour, showcasing confidence. It will catapult your journey towards a more efficient speaker. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
A Step-by-Step Guide to Finding the Right Presentation Topic <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n1. Understanding Your People<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nSince the purpose of any presentation is to get people on board with what you are saying – your audience will be your first step in figuring out the potential topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You need to contact the people who will make up your audience. They will help you decide the content and its complexity level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do a quick analysis of the audience – <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Find out if there will be other speakers. Learn about their topics (too technical or casual); this will give you an idea of the nature of the audience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Go through the social media handle of the event. Read through the comments to get an idea.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You can inquire from the event host regarding the type of audience (more females, international audience, etc.) who will be attending.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Know about the audience size to determine factors like the structure of your presentation, Q&A session, strategies for nonverbal communication, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
A few audience characteristics to consider –\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Demographics and Knowledge Level<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Figure out the age, gender, professional background, and educational qualifications of your audience. Learn how much they know about the topic. You wouldn\u2019t want to spend time on basics if they are already aware of them or share details no one can grasp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For instance, a presentation explaining scientific concepts to a school batch wouldn\u2019t require the same complexity as a presentation to engineers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- What are their interests, issues, and expectations?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Why has your audience come to listen to you? What are they expecting out of this session? What are their concerns and pain points?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asking these questions will help you tailor your presentation according to people’s needs, inclinations, and expectations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Identify the Intent and the Purpose<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou need to identify the purpose of the presentation when choosing a topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Do you want to educate people regarding something?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Do you want to persuade people to do something?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Is it entertainment you seek for the audience?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Do you want to inspire them to think differently?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Getting clear on your purpose and intent will help you focus on a topic that aligns with your goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Brainstorm Ideas and Techniques<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nOnce you are clear on the purpose of the speech and your audience, brainstorm different ideas using the following techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Start with a mind map. Think of a central idea and branch out to related concepts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Do a thorough analysis, such as a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats), to determine which ideas are feasible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Set a timer for 10-15 minutes. Actively think about the topic ideas without focusing on anything else.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Use tools like Google Trends to look for trending topics (keyword search).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If you want to make it more fun, ask the audience for help. Conduct audience polls to find out what they would find most interesting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Consider the general themes you would be interested in – technology, mental health, education, environment, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Research the Potential Topics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nNow that you have a list of potential topics, it\u2019s time to do thorough research as you would want your ideas to be interesting and feasible to present. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few research tips –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Search on the internet and other sources to ensure enough information for a well-rounded presentation. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Identify the key points you would want to cover. It will help you figure out if the topic is too broad or narrow for you to cover. Don\u2019t go for overly broad issues. Instead, narrow down your focus to cover specific aspects and angles. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Assess whether your topic is up-to-date with recent developments or trends. It will make your slides<\/a> more engaging and relevant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Choose a topic that fits well within the time constraints. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- See if you can add a new perspective, angle, or information to make the topic stand out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Your topic should be relevant to the setting and purpose of the event.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
5. Do a Thorough Evaluation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nEvaluate your topic based on the following criteria –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Your Knowledge and Expertise<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
What if you are a biology teacher asked to speak on a history subject? How much justice would you be able to do to the topic? And how much research will require you to learn credible information?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your audience needs to see your credibility on the topic to trust you. Choosing something you are knowledgeable about is an easy way to do this. You will be more comfortable explaining and answering the difficult parts and questions of the presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Your Passion <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
What if you know of the topic but have zero interest or passion?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will affect all delivery areas, such as body language<\/a>, facial expressions, and general energy levels. If the topic interests you, you will be more engaging, ready to research more, and invested personally in the speech. It will translate into a more gripping presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Audience\u2019s Interest <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If the topic is not interesting to people, like if they don\u2019t know how to derive value from it, they will quickly tune out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For instance, if you deliver a speech about high-rise fashion to marine biologists, it won\u2019t interest them, and your presentation will fall flat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Few Tips<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nJot down some possible topics according to the type of presentation (TED Talk, commencement speech, conference presentation, anniversary, a talk at the local club, etc.) you will be giving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once the list is ready, please put it in this Venn diagram to find a credible topic for yourself. Of course, the middle segment of the Venn diagram will be a jackpot topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXe2tMw4y84CWfFj7DRzB12tQYMGg7vVbV3buFwUn70xY3dx9BpVU2rTEFKyr7Yfy8mI6b-u82eX7IJXW0B32GyTm3pmh0wyhZZPQxXku6n5vCERS8wYuEoFdX5TEldkpQ7Aagw?key=TTTWjsBO-blfkbJBK0lfIB87\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSourc<\/a>e link\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nLet\u2019s quickly elaborate on the segments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 1 – The Best Topics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis segment is perfect for drawing speech topics. You are knowledgeable and confident about the subject. Your passion will ensure that you enjoy talking about it. And on top of that, you will have an open and receptive audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXfC_ZVCwbt0QAdHosapnwSNgyp9k9rBEadl5wF5dFtJOD755d0t_suSlDInjmhp_VGcn8U2j8IaAHnFpXLL5mXawzh9D_OABH1EmuhwErl5e44FksXpnUxRHgjQR53q9FDZFNEQ?key=TTTWjsBO-blfkbJBK0lfIB87\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFinding topics from this segment will ensure a memorable and powerful speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 2 – Good Topic, But No Enthusiasm<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou have knowledge, and the audience likes the topic, too, but you lack enthusiasm. As a result, you will deliver in a monotonous voice and dull body language, resulting in a disengaged delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXeknn1eEKTL2laB70wwcZaDwMdPS7BWcsZdZDkd4vLKvlZo9rOwmNjHh3FeNzqMcGOiIXUzp8xaAyd7d9vtVYNBRpfz6tgtbVW9eSg7z7jp2_0vjm83isWuSYSh0JXzYMaS1gY?key=TTTWjsBO-blfkbJBK0lfIB87\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow do we make this into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ask yourself what made you learn about this in the first place. Try to find that zeal and reason again. You can also ask the people interested in the topic about their curiosity. Draft your presentation around that to make it into a successful presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 3 – Good Topics, But for a Different Set of People<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou know the topic and find it interesting; however, the people don’t. You can deliver it, but the audience won’t receive it well, resulting in a failed presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXdTQQWAM7QuGOcB2zdm5a5Tq7xxbYroThmYZCd84QktvNyRZ3mKBVmf0HqBP_9ARIEkPdzltBi3UeLkWMdCPtsCR1g9RMKitUYEDe6k8s7IPKIfJzwYwpXlm2bv-diULDsJsjQk?key=TTTWjsBO-blfkbJBK0lfIB87\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow do we make this into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Try to find ways to link this topic with something your audience might be interested in. Use the power of humor, body language, eye contact, metaphors, storytelling<\/a>, and anecdotes to turn your presentation into a compelling communication<\/a>. However, at best, reserve this topic for another set of people, and it can be a great delivery. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSegment 4 – Good Topics, But You Know Nothing About Them<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou and your audience find the topic interesting, but you lack knowledge about it. This lack of understanding can affect your credibility, making the audience not take you seriously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXdSvQI7PlyPW14KlALSWtwMMG9EFwo53cedFV2Huo9V3bAzC1ulfv_QfsUqd9uYuhn3XL3zAob7PUsLFovCmzRuHydvx6wk4-c3B3l208IYHMvm9frT6uMxArS1bZosLzd8cZv7?key=TTTWjsBO-blfkbJBK0lfIB87\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow do we make this into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can work on building up your knowledge over time. Since people are interested and you find the topic interesting, find time for thorough research and learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 5 – Topics for Another Speaker<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nOnly your audience cares about the topic. You neither know nor are interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXfK5DO5jmJ9cjHgzEk6jSU-O_fqFf831ruLLJOoPd1VCHuuyyW1XQ20Q-DtqbFb_ym7U7gzAe5U5hENbomDqmDKvt0KA_xjm-FxfDr2RnwZCcETqbED29XKc_FuH45fNKFDXno?key=TTTWjsBO-blfkbJBK0lfIB87\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow can this be made into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a little tricky to bring the topic into this segment. You need to be interested in something to learn it. You might develop an interest in it when you start, but all of this will take time. So, it\u2019s better to leave these topics to another speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 6 – Topics You Know, But Doesn\u2019t Interest You or the Audience<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou are an expert on the topic, but neither you nor the audience are interested. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXcNHsJCSZXHapc8tSwRkYr8vEWY5a9CQkwc1wNORUZETqnuwtTTss4i2C2JtYVttxu4Zid9DRRfyK6XjADkQnX2xjmFtiP9l4lYXSQskGQZqfVAbKG-DxQp4k6UNlfcq95mCoX_?key=TTTWjsBO-blfkbJBK0lfIB87\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow can this be made into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can rekindle your passion or interest and link it with people’s interests. However, it’s a long road, and better if you find another topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 7 – Personal Hobbies Maybe<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou are interested in the topic but not the audience, and you know nothing about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXebP_rPNs3Q_2cJXu2gMMayOGCRjxHYRrYNeZcUds9Qi-CX4Sqzv-_kRyTo39AwNkCuS_r89Jbx0_f7z2VW1IchqLL0kc3Xz2Jlmq4gBlfe-aPaoeLU5JpugUeo4Kr_UI24wqM?key=TTTWjsBO-blfkbJBK0lfIB87\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow do we make this into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your passion and interest can drive you to learn about it and make your audience understand why you care about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 8 – Topics of No Use to You<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis category is a disaster zone. No one cares about it, and you don\u2019t know either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXeWsaABJeg-zH7HCI6HS6vl3DZKKhtiwNkkH9ku3s3kJDNwynpY_RDFr5hLoz6EItVKzpWRrG6sHA13Q_nnVRYVyd4fJpXdRmHbnyIzOCXO7EpAjr46IQhhC0KUUgylmrhP3Y8?key=TTTWjsBO-blfkbJBK0lfIB87\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow can this be made into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You would be better off not wasting time here and moving on to another topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Select the Topic?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nBrainstorm around 20-25 ideas for your speech. Ask yourself the three above questions and categorize them by giving them a number on the Venn diagram\u2019s segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Find the ones in the number 1 segment or those in two of the three segments. Work around them to take them into the center segment and find a successful topic for your speech. Narrow down your research to a few ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you are done, it\u2019s time to make the final decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Test the idea –<\/strong> Create a brief outline for the remaining ideas. See which one has more depth or seems to flow better. Ask yourself if you can explain the topic in a single sentence. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Narrow down the topic –<\/strong> Let\u2019s understand this with an example. Environmental woes as a topic is too vague and broad to present. Narrow down the niche by focusing on smaller segments like tips for tackling climate change or wildlife issues, reducing carbon footprints, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Seek feedback – <\/strong>Seek opinions from colleagues, mentors, or any notable personalities for their input. They might give inputs you haven\u2019t thought of yourself. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Carefully considering these tips will help you finalize an engaging and relevant topic that will transform into a memorable and impactful presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summing It Up<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nA good presentation topic will resonate with people, interest them, and effectively highlight your expertise, knowledge, and skills. It will make you shine as a speaker who is passionate about what they are saying and credible and authoritative in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, before you sit down to craft the presentation, spend as much or even more time thoughtfully choosing a topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A good topic interests the audience and the speaker; a bad one could result in a vice-versa situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, use our tips and choose the ones that project you as a powerful speaker with the ability to drive actual change. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Why Does Selecting a Topic Matter so Much?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nBefore starting with the \u2018how,\u2019 let’s understand the \u2018why\u2019 behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- A strong topic will draw the audience\u2019s attention and keep them engaged and interested throughout.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- A perfect topic will give your presentation the required direction and purpose, leading to a successful delivery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If you like the topic, you will automatically deliver more vigour, showcasing confidence. It will catapult your journey towards a more efficient speaker. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
A Step-by-Step Guide to Finding the Right Presentation Topic <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n1. Understanding Your People<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nSince the purpose of any presentation is to get people on board with what you are saying – your audience will be your first step in figuring out the potential topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You need to contact the people who will make up your audience. They will help you decide the content and its complexity level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do a quick analysis of the audience – <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Find out if there will be other speakers. Learn about their topics (too technical or casual); this will give you an idea of the nature of the audience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Go through the social media handle of the event. Read through the comments to get an idea.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You can inquire from the event host regarding the type of audience (more females, international audience, etc.) who will be attending.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Know about the audience size to determine factors like the structure of your presentation, Q&A session, strategies for nonverbal communication, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
A few audience characteristics to consider –\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Demographics and Knowledge Level<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Figure out the age, gender, professional background, and educational qualifications of your audience. Learn how much they know about the topic. You wouldn\u2019t want to spend time on basics if they are already aware of them or share details no one can grasp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For instance, a presentation explaining scientific concepts to a school batch wouldn\u2019t require the same complexity as a presentation to engineers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- What are their interests, issues, and expectations?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Why has your audience come to listen to you? What are they expecting out of this session? What are their concerns and pain points?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asking these questions will help you tailor your presentation according to people’s needs, inclinations, and expectations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Identify the Intent and the Purpose<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou need to identify the purpose of the presentation when choosing a topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Do you want to educate people regarding something?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Do you want to persuade people to do something?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Is it entertainment you seek for the audience?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Do you want to inspire them to think differently?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Getting clear on your purpose and intent will help you focus on a topic that aligns with your goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Brainstorm Ideas and Techniques<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nOnce you are clear on the purpose of the speech and your audience, brainstorm different ideas using the following techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Start with a mind map. Think of a central idea and branch out to related concepts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Do a thorough analysis, such as a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats), to determine which ideas are feasible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Set a timer for 10-15 minutes. Actively think about the topic ideas without focusing on anything else.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Use tools like Google Trends to look for trending topics (keyword search).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If you want to make it more fun, ask the audience for help. Conduct audience polls to find out what they would find most interesting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Consider the general themes you would be interested in – technology, mental health, education, environment, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Research the Potential Topics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nNow that you have a list of potential topics, it\u2019s time to do thorough research as you would want your ideas to be interesting and feasible to present. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few research tips –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Search on the internet and other sources to ensure enough information for a well-rounded presentation. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Identify the key points you would want to cover. It will help you figure out if the topic is too broad or narrow for you to cover. Don\u2019t go for overly broad issues. Instead, narrow down your focus to cover specific aspects and angles. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Assess whether your topic is up-to-date with recent developments or trends. It will make your slides<\/a> more engaging and relevant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Choose a topic that fits well within the time constraints. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- See if you can add a new perspective, angle, or information to make the topic stand out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Your topic should be relevant to the setting and purpose of the event.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
5. Do a Thorough Evaluation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nEvaluate your topic based on the following criteria –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Your Knowledge and Expertise<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
What if you are a biology teacher asked to speak on a history subject? How much justice would you be able to do to the topic? And how much research will require you to learn credible information?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your audience needs to see your credibility on the topic to trust you. Choosing something you are knowledgeable about is an easy way to do this. You will be more comfortable explaining and answering the difficult parts and questions of the presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Your Passion <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
What if you know of the topic but have zero interest or passion?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will affect all delivery areas, such as body language<\/a>, facial expressions, and general energy levels. If the topic interests you, you will be more engaging, ready to research more, and invested personally in the speech. It will translate into a more gripping presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Audience\u2019s Interest <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If the topic is not interesting to people, like if they don\u2019t know how to derive value from it, they will quickly tune out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For instance, if you deliver a speech about high-rise fashion to marine biologists, it won\u2019t interest them, and your presentation will fall flat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Few Tips<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nJot down some possible topics according to the type of presentation (TED Talk, commencement speech, conference presentation, anniversary, a talk at the local club, etc.) you will be giving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once the list is ready, please put it in this Venn diagram to find a credible topic for yourself. Of course, the middle segment of the Venn diagram will be a jackpot topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSourc<\/a>e link\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nLet\u2019s quickly elaborate on the segments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 1 – The Best Topics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis segment is perfect for drawing speech topics. You are knowledgeable and confident about the subject. Your passion will ensure that you enjoy talking about it. And on top of that, you will have an open and receptive audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFinding topics from this segment will ensure a memorable and powerful speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 2 – Good Topic, But No Enthusiasm<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou have knowledge, and the audience likes the topic, too, but you lack enthusiasm. As a result, you will deliver in a monotonous voice and dull body language, resulting in a disengaged delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow do we make this into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ask yourself what made you learn about this in the first place. Try to find that zeal and reason again. You can also ask the people interested in the topic about their curiosity. Draft your presentation around that to make it into a successful presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 3 – Good Topics, But for a Different Set of People<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou know the topic and find it interesting; however, the people don’t. You can deliver it, but the audience won’t receive it well, resulting in a failed presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow do we make this into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Try to find ways to link this topic with something your audience might be interested in. Use the power of humor, body language, eye contact, metaphors, storytelling<\/a>, and anecdotes to turn your presentation into a compelling communication<\/a>. However, at best, reserve this topic for another set of people, and it can be a great delivery. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSegment 4 – Good Topics, But You Know Nothing About Them<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou and your audience find the topic interesting, but you lack knowledge about it. This lack of understanding can affect your credibility, making the audience not take you seriously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow do we make this into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can work on building up your knowledge over time. Since people are interested and you find the topic interesting, find time for thorough research and learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 5 – Topics for Another Speaker<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nOnly your audience cares about the topic. You neither know nor are interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow can this be made into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a little tricky to bring the topic into this segment. You need to be interested in something to learn it. You might develop an interest in it when you start, but all of this will take time. So, it\u2019s better to leave these topics to another speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 6 – Topics You Know, But Doesn\u2019t Interest You or the Audience<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou are an expert on the topic, but neither you nor the audience are interested. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow can this be made into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can rekindle your passion or interest and link it with people’s interests. However, it’s a long road, and better if you find another topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 7 – Personal Hobbies Maybe<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou are interested in the topic but not the audience, and you know nothing about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow do we make this into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your passion and interest can drive you to learn about it and make your audience understand why you care about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 8 – Topics of No Use to You<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis category is a disaster zone. No one cares about it, and you don\u2019t know either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow can this be made into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You would be better off not wasting time here and moving on to another topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Select the Topic?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nBrainstorm around 20-25 ideas for your speech. Ask yourself the three above questions and categorize them by giving them a number on the Venn diagram\u2019s segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Find the ones in the number 1 segment or those in two of the three segments. Work around them to take them into the center segment and find a successful topic for your speech. Narrow down your research to a few ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you are done, it\u2019s time to make the final decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Test the idea –<\/strong> Create a brief outline for the remaining ideas. See which one has more depth or seems to flow better. Ask yourself if you can explain the topic in a single sentence. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Narrow down the topic –<\/strong> Let\u2019s understand this with an example. Environmental woes as a topic is too vague and broad to present. Narrow down the niche by focusing on smaller segments like tips for tackling climate change or wildlife issues, reducing carbon footprints, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Seek feedback – <\/strong>Seek opinions from colleagues, mentors, or any notable personalities for their input. They might give inputs you haven\u2019t thought of yourself. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Carefully considering these tips will help you finalize an engaging and relevant topic that will transform into a memorable and impactful presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summing It Up<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nA good presentation topic will resonate with people, interest them, and effectively highlight your expertise, knowledge, and skills. It will make you shine as a speaker who is passionate about what they are saying and credible and authoritative in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, before you sit down to craft the presentation, spend as much or even more time thoughtfully choosing a topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A good topic interests the audience and the speaker; a bad one could result in a vice-versa situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, use our tips and choose the ones that project you as a powerful speaker with the ability to drive actual change. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

A Step-by-Step Guide to Finding the Right Presentation Topic <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n1. Understanding Your People<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nSince the purpose of any presentation is to get people on board with what you are saying – your audience will be your first step in figuring out the potential topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You need to contact the people who will make up your audience. They will help you decide the content and its complexity level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do a quick analysis of the audience – <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Find out if there will be other speakers. Learn about their topics (too technical or casual); this will give you an idea of the nature of the audience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Go through the social media handle of the event. Read through the comments to get an idea.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You can inquire from the event host regarding the type of audience (more females, international audience, etc.) who will be attending.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Know about the audience size to determine factors like the structure of your presentation, Q&A session, strategies for nonverbal communication, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
A few audience characteristics to consider –\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Demographics and Knowledge Level<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Figure out the age, gender, professional background, and educational qualifications of your audience. Learn how much they know about the topic. You wouldn\u2019t want to spend time on basics if they are already aware of them or share details no one can grasp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For instance, a presentation explaining scientific concepts to a school batch wouldn\u2019t require the same complexity as a presentation to engineers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- What are their interests, issues, and expectations?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Why has your audience come to listen to you? What are they expecting out of this session? What are their concerns and pain points?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asking these questions will help you tailor your presentation according to people’s needs, inclinations, and expectations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Identify the Intent and the Purpose<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou need to identify the purpose of the presentation when choosing a topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Do you want to educate people regarding something?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Do you want to persuade people to do something?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Is it entertainment you seek for the audience?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Do you want to inspire them to think differently?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Getting clear on your purpose and intent will help you focus on a topic that aligns with your goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Brainstorm Ideas and Techniques<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nOnce you are clear on the purpose of the speech and your audience, brainstorm different ideas using the following techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Start with a mind map. Think of a central idea and branch out to related concepts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Do a thorough analysis, such as a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats), to determine which ideas are feasible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Set a timer for 10-15 minutes. Actively think about the topic ideas without focusing on anything else.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Use tools like Google Trends to look for trending topics (keyword search).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If you want to make it more fun, ask the audience for help. Conduct audience polls to find out what they would find most interesting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Consider the general themes you would be interested in – technology, mental health, education, environment, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Research the Potential Topics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nNow that you have a list of potential topics, it\u2019s time to do thorough research as you would want your ideas to be interesting and feasible to present. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few research tips –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Search on the internet and other sources to ensure enough information for a well-rounded presentation. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Identify the key points you would want to cover. It will help you figure out if the topic is too broad or narrow for you to cover. Don\u2019t go for overly broad issues. Instead, narrow down your focus to cover specific aspects and angles. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Assess whether your topic is up-to-date with recent developments or trends. It will make your slides<\/a> more engaging and relevant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Choose a topic that fits well within the time constraints. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- See if you can add a new perspective, angle, or information to make the topic stand out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Your topic should be relevant to the setting and purpose of the event.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
5. Do a Thorough Evaluation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nEvaluate your topic based on the following criteria –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Your Knowledge and Expertise<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
What if you are a biology teacher asked to speak on a history subject? How much justice would you be able to do to the topic? And how much research will require you to learn credible information?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your audience needs to see your credibility on the topic to trust you. Choosing something you are knowledgeable about is an easy way to do this. You will be more comfortable explaining and answering the difficult parts and questions of the presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Your Passion <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
What if you know of the topic but have zero interest or passion?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will affect all delivery areas, such as body language<\/a>, facial expressions, and general energy levels. If the topic interests you, you will be more engaging, ready to research more, and invested personally in the speech. It will translate into a more gripping presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Audience\u2019s Interest <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If the topic is not interesting to people, like if they don\u2019t know how to derive value from it, they will quickly tune out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For instance, if you deliver a speech about high-rise fashion to marine biologists, it won\u2019t interest them, and your presentation will fall flat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Few Tips<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nJot down some possible topics according to the type of presentation (TED Talk, commencement speech, conference presentation, anniversary, a talk at the local club, etc.) you will be giving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once the list is ready, please put it in this Venn diagram to find a credible topic for yourself. Of course, the middle segment of the Venn diagram will be a jackpot topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSourc<\/a>e link\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nLet\u2019s quickly elaborate on the segments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 1 – The Best Topics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis segment is perfect for drawing speech topics. You are knowledgeable and confident about the subject. Your passion will ensure that you enjoy talking about it. And on top of that, you will have an open and receptive audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFinding topics from this segment will ensure a memorable and powerful speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 2 – Good Topic, But No Enthusiasm<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou have knowledge, and the audience likes the topic, too, but you lack enthusiasm. As a result, you will deliver in a monotonous voice and dull body language, resulting in a disengaged delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow do we make this into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ask yourself what made you learn about this in the first place. Try to find that zeal and reason again. You can also ask the people interested in the topic about their curiosity. Draft your presentation around that to make it into a successful presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 3 – Good Topics, But for a Different Set of People<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou know the topic and find it interesting; however, the people don’t. You can deliver it, but the audience won’t receive it well, resulting in a failed presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow do we make this into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Try to find ways to link this topic with something your audience might be interested in. Use the power of humor, body language, eye contact, metaphors, storytelling<\/a>, and anecdotes to turn your presentation into a compelling communication<\/a>. However, at best, reserve this topic for another set of people, and it can be a great delivery. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSegment 4 – Good Topics, But You Know Nothing About Them<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou and your audience find the topic interesting, but you lack knowledge about it. This lack of understanding can affect your credibility, making the audience not take you seriously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow do we make this into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can work on building up your knowledge over time. Since people are interested and you find the topic interesting, find time for thorough research and learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 5 – Topics for Another Speaker<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nOnly your audience cares about the topic. You neither know nor are interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow can this be made into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a little tricky to bring the topic into this segment. You need to be interested in something to learn it. You might develop an interest in it when you start, but all of this will take time. So, it\u2019s better to leave these topics to another speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 6 – Topics You Know, But Doesn\u2019t Interest You or the Audience<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou are an expert on the topic, but neither you nor the audience are interested. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow can this be made into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can rekindle your passion or interest and link it with people’s interests. However, it’s a long road, and better if you find another topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 7 – Personal Hobbies Maybe<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou are interested in the topic but not the audience, and you know nothing about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow do we make this into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your passion and interest can drive you to learn about it and make your audience understand why you care about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 8 – Topics of No Use to You<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis category is a disaster zone. No one cares about it, and you don\u2019t know either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow can this be made into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You would be better off not wasting time here and moving on to another topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Select the Topic?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nBrainstorm around 20-25 ideas for your speech. Ask yourself the three above questions and categorize them by giving them a number on the Venn diagram\u2019s segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Find the ones in the number 1 segment or those in two of the three segments. Work around them to take them into the center segment and find a successful topic for your speech. Narrow down your research to a few ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you are done, it\u2019s time to make the final decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Test the idea –<\/strong> Create a brief outline for the remaining ideas. See which one has more depth or seems to flow better. Ask yourself if you can explain the topic in a single sentence. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Narrow down the topic –<\/strong> Let\u2019s understand this with an example. Environmental woes as a topic is too vague and broad to present. Narrow down the niche by focusing on smaller segments like tips for tackling climate change or wildlife issues, reducing carbon footprints, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Seek feedback – <\/strong>Seek opinions from colleagues, mentors, or any notable personalities for their input. They might give inputs you haven\u2019t thought of yourself. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Carefully considering these tips will help you finalize an engaging and relevant topic that will transform into a memorable and impactful presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summing It Up<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nA good presentation topic will resonate with people, interest them, and effectively highlight your expertise, knowledge, and skills. It will make you shine as a speaker who is passionate about what they are saying and credible and authoritative in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, before you sit down to craft the presentation, spend as much or even more time thoughtfully choosing a topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A good topic interests the audience and the speaker; a bad one could result in a vice-versa situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, use our tips and choose the ones that project you as a powerful speaker with the ability to drive actual change. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Since the purpose of any presentation is to get people on board with what you are saying – your audience will be your first step in figuring out the potential topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You need to contact the people who will make up your audience. They will help you decide the content and its complexity level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do a quick analysis of the audience – <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Find out if there will be other speakers. Learn about their topics (too technical or casual); this will give you an idea of the nature of the audience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Go through the social media handle of the event. Read through the comments to get an idea.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You can inquire from the event host regarding the type of audience (more females, international audience, etc.) who will be attending.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Know about the audience size to determine factors like the structure of your presentation, Q&A session, strategies for nonverbal communication, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
A few audience characteristics to consider –\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Demographics and Knowledge Level<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Figure out the age, gender, professional background, and educational qualifications of your audience. Learn how much they know about the topic. You wouldn\u2019t want to spend time on basics if they are already aware of them or share details no one can grasp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For instance, a presentation explaining scientific concepts to a school batch wouldn\u2019t require the same complexity as a presentation to engineers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- What are their interests, issues, and expectations?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Why has your audience come to listen to you? What are they expecting out of this session? What are their concerns and pain points?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asking these questions will help you tailor your presentation according to people’s needs, inclinations, and expectations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Identify the Intent and the Purpose<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You need to identify the purpose of the presentation when choosing a topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Do you want to educate people regarding something?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Do you want to persuade people to do something?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Is it entertainment you seek for the audience?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Do you want to inspire them to think differently?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Getting clear on your purpose and intent will help you focus on a topic that aligns with your goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Brainstorm Ideas and Techniques<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Once you are clear on the purpose of the speech and your audience, brainstorm different ideas using the following techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Start with a mind map. Think of a central idea and branch out to related concepts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Do a thorough analysis, such as a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats), to determine which ideas are feasible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Set a timer for 10-15 minutes. Actively think about the topic ideas without focusing on anything else.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Use tools like Google Trends to look for trending topics (keyword search).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If you want to make it more fun, ask the audience for help. Conduct audience polls to find out what they would find most interesting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Consider the general themes you would be interested in – technology, mental health, education, environment, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Research the Potential Topics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Now that you have a list of potential topics, it\u2019s time to do thorough research as you would want your ideas to be interesting and feasible to present. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few research tips –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Search on the internet and other sources to ensure enough information for a well-rounded presentation. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Identify the key points you would want to cover. It will help you figure out if the topic is too broad or narrow for you to cover. Don\u2019t go for overly broad issues. Instead, narrow down your focus to cover specific aspects and angles. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Assess whether your topic is up-to-date with recent developments or trends. It will make your slides<\/a> more engaging and relevant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Choose a topic that fits well within the time constraints. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- See if you can add a new perspective, angle, or information to make the topic stand out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Your topic should be relevant to the setting and purpose of the event.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
5. Do a Thorough Evaluation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Evaluate your topic based on the following criteria –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Your Knowledge and Expertise<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
What if you are a biology teacher asked to speak on a history subject? How much justice would you be able to do to the topic? And how much research will require you to learn credible information?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your audience needs to see your credibility on the topic to trust you. Choosing something you are knowledgeable about is an easy way to do this. You will be more comfortable explaining and answering the difficult parts and questions of the presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Your Passion <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
What if you know of the topic but have zero interest or passion?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will affect all delivery areas, such as body language<\/a>, facial expressions, and general energy levels. If the topic interests you, you will be more engaging, ready to research more, and invested personally in the speech. It will translate into a more gripping presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Audience\u2019s Interest <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If the topic is not interesting to people, like if they don\u2019t know how to derive value from it, they will quickly tune out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For instance, if you deliver a speech about high-rise fashion to marine biologists, it won\u2019t interest them, and your presentation will fall flat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Few Tips<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Jot down some possible topics according to the type of presentation (TED Talk, commencement speech, conference presentation, anniversary, a talk at the local club, etc.) you will be giving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once the list is ready, please put it in this Venn diagram to find a credible topic for yourself. Of course, the middle segment of the Venn diagram will be a jackpot topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sourc<\/a>e link\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s quickly elaborate on the segments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 1 – The Best Topics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This segment is perfect for drawing speech topics. You are knowledgeable and confident about the subject. Your passion will ensure that you enjoy talking about it. And on top of that, you will have an open and receptive audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finding topics from this segment will ensure a memorable and powerful speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 2 – Good Topic, But No Enthusiasm<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You have knowledge, and the audience likes the topic, too, but you lack enthusiasm. As a result, you will deliver in a monotonous voice and dull body language, resulting in a disengaged delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do we make this into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ask yourself what made you learn about this in the first place. Try to find that zeal and reason again. You can also ask the people interested in the topic about their curiosity. Draft your presentation around that to make it into a successful presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 3 – Good Topics, But for a Different Set of People<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You know the topic and find it interesting; however, the people don’t. You can deliver it, but the audience won’t receive it well, resulting in a failed presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do we make this into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Try to find ways to link this topic with something your audience might be interested in. Use the power of humor, body language, eye contact, metaphors, storytelling<\/a>, and anecdotes to turn your presentation into a compelling communication<\/a>. However, at best, reserve this topic for another set of people, and it can be a great delivery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 4 – Good Topics, But You Know Nothing About Them<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You and your audience find the topic interesting, but you lack knowledge about it. This lack of understanding can affect your credibility, making the audience not take you seriously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do we make this into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can work on building up your knowledge over time. Since people are interested and you find the topic interesting, find time for thorough research and learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 5 – Topics for Another Speaker<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Only your audience cares about the topic. You neither know nor are interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How can this be made into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a little tricky to bring the topic into this segment. You need to be interested in something to learn it. You might develop an interest in it when you start, but all of this will take time. So, it\u2019s better to leave these topics to another speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 6 – Topics You Know, But Doesn\u2019t Interest You or the Audience<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You are an expert on the topic, but neither you nor the audience are interested. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How can this be made into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can rekindle your passion or interest and link it with people’s interests. However, it’s a long road, and better if you find another topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 7 – Personal Hobbies Maybe<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You are interested in the topic but not the audience, and you know nothing about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do we make this into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your passion and interest can drive you to learn about it and make your audience understand why you care about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Segment 8 – Topics of No Use to You<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This category is a disaster zone. No one cares about it, and you don\u2019t know either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How can this be made into a segment-one topic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You would be better off not wasting time here and moving on to another topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Select the Topic?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Brainstorm around 20-25 ideas for your speech. Ask yourself the three above questions and categorize them by giving them a number on the Venn diagram\u2019s segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Find the ones in the number 1 segment or those in two of the three segments. Work around them to take them into the center segment and find a successful topic for your speech. Narrow down your research to a few ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you are done, it\u2019s time to make the final decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Test the idea –<\/strong> Create a brief outline for the remaining ideas. See which one has more depth or seems to flow better. Ask yourself if you can explain the topic in a single sentence. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Narrow down the topic –<\/strong> Let\u2019s understand this with an example. Environmental woes as a topic is too vague and broad to present. Narrow down the niche by focusing on smaller segments like tips for tackling climate change or wildlife issues, reducing carbon footprints, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Seek feedback – <\/strong>Seek opinions from colleagues, mentors, or any notable personalities for their input. They might give inputs you haven\u2019t thought of yourself. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Carefully considering these tips will help you finalize an engaging and relevant topic that will transform into a memorable and impactful presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summing It Up<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A good presentation topic will resonate with people, interest them, and effectively highlight your expertise, knowledge, and skills. It will make you shine as a speaker who is passionate about what they are saying and credible and authoritative in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, before you sit down to craft the presentation, spend as much or even more time thoughtfully choosing a topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A good topic interests the audience and the speaker; a bad one could result in a vice-versa situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, use our tips and choose the ones that project you as a powerful speaker with the ability to drive actual change. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
