presentation to accompany your talk.”

“A good set of slides won’t magically make your talk great. But a great talk is badly

hurt by bad slides”

1. Start planning your presentation on paper

2. Avoid written bullet points on slides

Page 8

The problem with Bullet points

• People will start reading from top

www.taodyne.com

• Won’t listen while you talk about the first items

2. Avoid written bullet points on slides (cont.)

Page 9

• Then they already know what’s coming

• So they won’t listen for the rest either

2. Avoid written bullet points on slides (cont.)

capture the idea you are trying to get across

8. Remain flexible

Don’t be totally tied to your presentation.

Be able to assess where your participants are

Modify your presentation to meet their needs

and the time

9. Let the audience direct the content and order of your presentation

Page 17

10. Lean forward to make a point

A wee step or slight lean forward on a positive point, and vice versa

Otherwise stepping back during pauses, then slightly forward again.

11. Don’t read your slides Paraphrase — it keeps people on their

toes.

12. Don’t try to say everything on screen

Page 20

Just use Short Punchy bullet points

Relevant , Thought-Provoking Imagery

Relevant, Thought-Provoking Imagery

Audience will be focused on you and what you’re saying

13. Try not to “prove it” within your slide content

Just say that. Your audience will typically

believe you

Page 23

14. Try to make one key point per slide

Page 24

http://www.m4bmarketing.com

If your slide makes no point at all – delete it

15. Set your stall out early

Page 25

What you are going to cover?

Audience appreciation

Keep referring back to initial

agenda

16. Consider getting outside help

Page 26

www.article10.com

stuffyoualreadyknow.com

Professional writer or presentation expert

Totally new perspective on your presentation

17. Engage the audience at the start

Page 27

www.sgsolutionsllc.com

Tell a story; challenge with a question

18. Use examples and personal anecdotes to add credibility

Page 28

melissagalt.com

19. Involve the audience

Use PowerPoint only where it will add value. Use audio/visuals

Page 29

www.presentationteam.com

20. Know your audience

Page 30

www.readytalk.com

21. Be positive

Page 31

www.personalitytutor.com

Projection is perception

www.deeptrancenow.com

23. Keep it short

 Say everything that needs to be said in as few words as possible

Page 32

24. Turn off the projector

The presentation slide is desperately trying to

steal your thunder and reducing your role

to that of a voice over.

Use a blank screen to re-keep all eyes on you.

25. You need to be yourself

Page 34

www.imgion.com

26. Don’t spend too long worrying about voice and hand gestures

These can make a difference, but there are

other changes to your overall presentation you

can make that will have a much bigger impact.

27. Practise, practise, practise

If you don’t practise, the first time you deliver your presentation out loud will be in front of a room full of people

28. Vary your pace and pitch

Vary your pace and pitch.

Too much of any one thing is boring

29. Use a mirror

Page 38

30. Think about your audience, not about you or your stuff

Page 39

PRESENTability.com

www.sjhemleymarketing.com

Answer the question of the attendees: what’s in it for me?

31. Slides don’t make good handouts

Even good slides will have very little meaning without you

Slides are to support the message, not the

presenter.

31. Slides don’t make good handouts (cont.)

Yet without handouts most of your message is likely to be forgotten sooner or later

So use handouts wisely
