Presentation skill
by Mr. Hideto KAWAKITA, CEO, International Institute for Human, Organization and the Earth (IIHOE)
Today, we had the lecture about presentation skill by Mr. Kawakita. Ms. Kawamura, committee member, was with us to observe the lecture.
He started the session by explaining his career and rich experience as a consultant for NPO management. Seven participants were amazed by the outstanding number of 600 proposals that he had read.
Mr. Kawakita
The participants learned that in order to win donors' understanding and trust, the applicants should;
- think about to whom they are going to make a presentation;
- avoid showing what 'they' want and pushing it, but understand what a 'donor' wants; and
- understand the values that a donor evaluates is and how they make decisions.
Participants came up with an idea of some potential donors to whom they can make presentation of their Action Plan. Then they analyzed what the most important points that each donor evaluates are, which should be kept in mind when making a presentation.
