Presentations skill

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Identifying personal strengths and areas for development Expressing yourself coherently – verbally and in written or presentation format Non-verbal behaviour (e.g. eye contact and posture) on “Effective Communication Skills” e.g. how to address an audience; using powerpoint etc.  I would imagine a session of about 45-60 minutes should suffice.  
  2. Boring less you present in person, hit the highlights, and beware the bullets Opportunity for doodling and daydreaming More distractions than ever before
  3. Importance of a process (4 steps)
  4. “We need to open gaps before we close them. Our tendency is to tell people the facts. First, though, they must realize that they need these facts.” Dan & Chip Heath, Make it Stick Facts in logical order Re-state your main points There is a psychological factor called recency. This is where people remember most the last thing that they are told. This particularly applies to lists. So the ending of the presentation is key. A funny story (one that encapsulates at least one of the main themes of the presentation, A high energy video clip, Relieving the suspense (you may be wondering why I brought this cardboard box onto the the stage...) If you are really struggling for ideas, and want to play it safe, you could simply recap on the three main concepts that you have put forward in the middle section.
  5. Personal Notes: to be seen only by the speaker, and used as a reminder of the topics and key points, or perhaps of the "bon mot," the clever, felicitously worded phrase that can appear spontaneously witty to the crowd, but which works best if it is prepared and practiced in advance, for few of us are good enough to actually think of them on the spot. Illustrative Slides These slides should illustrate the major points and help motivate the listener. Tufte is apt to complain that this is simply "entertainment," but I respond that if the audience is not entertained, they are not apt to listen, and what good is a cleverly drafted talk if the audience is not listening. The illustrations should be relevant. They should convey new information. But they need not have words. They might have data, they might have graphs, they might have photographs of the product, equipment, phenomenon, or other aspect of the point under discussion. They should add to the talk, not distract from it. Handouts **Less so Here is where the speaker can put the references, the data, the appendices to the talk. Here is where one should indeed follow Tufte's advice and provide clear, detailed information that the reader can use later on to remember the points of the talk as well as to go on to further study and analysis.
  6. Fonts communicate subtle messages in and of themselves, which is why you should choose fonts deliberately. Use the same font set throughout your entire slide presentation, and use no more than two complementary fonts (e.g., Arial and Arial Bold). Make sure you know the difference between a Serif font (e.g., Times New Roman) and a Sans-Serif font (Helvetica or Arial). Serif fonts were designed to be used in documents filled with lots of text. Serif fonts are said to be easier to read at small point sizes, but for on screen presentations the serifs tend to get lost due to the relatively low resolution of projectors. San-serif fonts are generally best for PowerPoint presentations, but try to avoid the ubiquitous Helvetica. I often choose to use Gill Sans as it is somewhere in between a serif and a sans-serif font and is professional yet friendly and "conversational." Regardless of what font you choose, make sure the text can be read from the back of the room.
  7. But only that push you toward your goal Free Stock Photos http://www.sxc.hu/ Commercial Stock Photos www.istockphoto.com
  8. Like fitness
  9. Not about you Control your body: (breathings, palms, water) Focus on: Message Making audience comfortable
  10. Practice in actual room – full simulation Ask questions Organise visual aids, notes and handouts Prepare for audience questions Mindfulness
  11. You are the most powerful visual aid for what you are trying to express Style – 7 % words / body language / intonation Natural & Seem comfortable Kids in particular, it’s not feasible to have them sitting and listening for very long Make it interactive – engaging. Pacing Pausing
  12. Make sure you tell the audience that you will be taking questions at the end of your presentation. When you finish your presentation, instead of asking ‘Does anyone have questions’, ask something like ‘What questions do people have?’ or a specific question related to your presentation like ‘Do you agree with (part of your presentation’.
