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)
