PRESENTATION TECHNIC
1. Use visual aids
Using pictures in your presentations instead of words.
2. Keep it short and sweet
There is an old adage that said – “No one ever complained of a presentation being too short.” Keep your presentation to under 22 minutes if you can.
3. Use the rule of three
Use a maximum of three points on a slide.
4. Rehearse
Practice makes for perfect performance.Perform your presentation out loud at least four times. One of these should be in front of a real scary audience. Family, friends or colleagues.
5. Tell stories
All presentations are a type of theatre. Tell stories and anecdotes to help illustrate points. It all helps to make your presentation more effective and memorable.
6. Video yourself
Set up a video camera and video yourself presenting. You will see all sorts of mistakes that you are making.
7. Know what slide is coming next
You should always know when presenting which slide is coming up next. It sounds very powerful when you say “On the next slide [Click] you will see…”,
8. Have a back-up plan
Technology not working, no loudspeakers, presentation displays strangely on the laptop – all of these are things that have happened in presentations that I have given.Have a back-up plan. Take with you the following items – a printed out set of slides ,a CD Just in case it goes wrong.
