2. About the Presentation
Speech given about SlideShare @ Word Weavers
on Apirl 4, 2012…
This was Project #8 out of the Basic Manual
3. Have You Ever…
Been inspired/intrigued by speech or presentation and wished
that you could remember the hook, a week or month later?
Wished that you could review key information from a
presentation or speech in peace at your own pace?
Well… your prayers have been answered. Today I‘d like to tell
you about SlideShare and why you should be using it.
19. What‘s In It For Me?
Information sharing from workshops & seminars
Can share information that isn‘t handy to show when
presentation/speech is given
Are there any actions or take aways that you want to
share with your audience?
Your presentation can live on & other people can find
it, long after you‘ve given it
20. What‘s In It For Me? Continued
People remember only a small portion of what they
hear. This can reinforce and strengthen what
you‘ve presented
Handy place to show resources related to your topic
When you do have to cut something out during your
presentation or speech, it can still stay in!!
