• Thou shalt not make eye contact
• Thou shalt not skip slides in a long talk
• Thou shalt not practice!

“The success of your
presentation will be
judged not by the
knowledge you send but
by what the listener
receives.” - Lily Walters

Presentation skills

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. So what I’ve done is look at 3 main areas to consider for presentation I’ll talk about preparation and the process of preparing for your presentation
  2. tools can help you in preparing, performing and producing your presentation.
  3. This was
  4. For creating your presentation and producing the material that you want to use in your presentation
  5. The actual slide and content Try your best not to overload the slide with tonnes of information, it can be off putting both for you as a presenter to remember what the gist of the slide is and also for your audience to read it all
  6. Layout The layout of the slides should be simple and uncluttered. If you wish, there can be a single title line, and/or a small graphic of some sort. Otherwise, the slide area should be available for your text. Do not extend your text area to the very edges of the slide.
  7. Colours The wrong choice of text and background colours can make your presentation virtually unreadable. White background with black text is probably the most common mistake presenters make. A white background will generate a very strong light on the screen and in that light, even a bold black text, will almost disappear. Generally, a dark background with light text is recommended. Avoid other combinations and always avoid white backgrounds.
  8. Picture files can be very large and files of excessive size can affect the performance of your computer and the proper running of your presentation. We recommend the use of .JPG (JPEG Files Interchange Format) files when inserting pictures. Try to keep the pictures as small as possible (less than 100kB is recommended). Insert pictures as embedded objects, not as linked files.
  9. Finding images for your presentation within an online environment has become relatively easy over the last decade.
  10. https://docs.google.com/presentation Tikitoki Create beautiful timelines Tiki-Toki is web-based software for creating beautiful interactive timelines that you can share on the internet. sliderocketOnline Presentation Software & Tools - SlideRocket offers you the ability to ... Easily integrate content from free p public web resources like Flickr or YouTube and http://visual.ly/ data visualisations And once you've created your presentation there are online networks to share it on too, your organisation may already have a presence on slideshare but it’s an excellent way to learn more about topics you’ve presented on and get ideas for presentations you may create in the future
  11. There are so many different ways to aid your performance Some people write out cards with pertinent points related to each of their slides Some people prefer to write out a whole script from beginning to end I usually print off the slide with my notes included
  12. Even accomplished public speakers feel nervous before talks and adrenalin does actually helps you focus your mind • Be well prepared: – Rehearse with friends or colleagues, the action of talking through your presentation out loud can really help calm you prior to the big day, practising in front of colleagues can also help you iron out any bits that you’re not comfortable with or get suggestions how you can animate a point – Make sure presentation is well structured as we spoke about earlier this can help you organise your presentation and create a logical flow to stuff – Arrive and set up early • During presentation: The 2 most common places you can trip yourself up during a presentation is beginning and ending, if it helps you should memorise these, you may have given a great presentation but if it trails off at the end with no definite that is what people will remember. Smile, breath deeply, slow down and pause
  13. Good talks motivate audience to investigate further and that’s what you want to achieve So if someone leaves your talk with just one idea or piece of information, then consider your talk a success. It’s not talent that helps you develop your public speaking but skills and practice.
