Hinweis der Redaktion
Presentation = Communicate information to another personPowerful Presentations = Connect with audience & make an ImpactDaring Opener: Grab Attention. Music, Fact, Statistic, Video, QuestionIn it for me: Value/ Benefit for audienceAgenda: Show & tell itMain Messages: Core contents of presentation, points support this. Open Forum: Q&A sessionNews Headlines: Summaries main messagesDaring Close: Leave on dramatic high, similar to opener
Dont overcomplicate: Too many slides, graphics, colours, 6 X 6 ruleDesigned for purpose: To convince, inform, show danger, put to ease etcStructure: Brains like maps & structure. Dont want presenter rambling on.Ender: Summary, Quotation. Call to action, Personal endorsementVisual Aids:Flip Chart & Projector: Simple, clear, spaced out, dont hide beside, clear away & endCheck equipment first
Visual Aids that you use should help the audience to get the point you are talking about.Get the audience involved by asking for a show of hand or by giving them a problem to solve.- People love stories so keep this in mind !- Stories are very powerful.
- Body Language is considered a science that includes many issues but i’ll mention only the most important issues for your presentation.
Hiding: Reliance on PPT slides, media, video etc. People buy from People.No Interaction: Its not a lecture, you will losse audienceReading: Don’t read text. Capture & Engage Audience. Overloaded: With text, images, slidesNo Anticipation: Anticipate audience questions or areas of difficultyLack Goal: What do you & the audience want to get from this
No Goal: Must have value for audienceComplicated: Too much Jargon, words, images, media, slidesPoor Start: First impressions in first 3 mins of a presentation. Grab respect & attentionIneffective Close: Summarise & Leave them on a high before Q&AWinging It: Skill = Preparation. Confidence in your preparation.Lack of Energy: Energy grabs & holds audience attention = Effective & entertainingAvoiding Eye Contact: Eye contact = bond & connection & trustNo Audience Involvement: Audience learn by doing, example, interaction. Gets Buy-inReading the sides: You must add value beyond slides. Audience wont think your credible.Tweaking the old one: Create a new slide deck, don’t insult the audience with an old one
