Confident presenters are excellent actors…!!!
I. Six ways of making effective presentation:
1. Maximize the first moment based on
- What audience want
- Tell the audience what you are going to tell
2. Involve Audience
(We think 4 times faster than we speak)
- Ask questions
- Seeking Opinion & Suggestions
3. Use Visuals (Charts etc.)
- Concise information
- Only key points
- Maintain the Pace
4. Maintain Control over audience
5. Read the group
- Stories, jokes, practical examples
6. Push for action
- Ask to generate idea
II. Tackle anxiety with confidence:
• Preparation – works like magic
• Practice – jump into as many presentations as you can
• Do yoga/ deep breathing – never hurts
• Positive self-imaging – let’s be kind to ourselves
III. Other Points:
1. Structure : Keep It Simple and Straight (KISS)
2. Keep 25% buffer for audience
3. Conclusion should be definitive
4. Don't put too much of content, slides are to support you
5. Topic: keep it Straight, Simple and Relevant
6. Communication: Simple, Collaborative, be assertive
7. Audience size does not matter only methodology changes
8. Go easy on animation - pictures on every slide does not work, keep it in alternative slide or after every 2 slides.
9. Color choice
- For the Dark Room: dark background & light text
- For the Light Room: light background & dark text
- Heading: choose color starting with 'B' (Brown, Black, Blue)
