- Research never goes as fast as you would like.
Remember the audience's time is precious and should
not be abused by a presentation of dull preliminary
material.
- self knowledge
- Presentations should be enjoyable so need to know your limits
- If you are not funny by nature, do not try and be funny. If you
are not good at telling personal stories, do not try and tell
them, and so on.
- Less is more
- a common mistake of
inexperienced presenters is to try
to say too much.. As a result, the
main message is often lost, and
valuable question time is usually
curtailed.
- Your knowledge of the subject is best
expressed through a clear and concise
presentation that is provocative and
leads to a dialog during the
question-and-answer session when the
audience becomes active participants.
- prepare presentations that address the target audience.
- what are their backgrounds and
knowledge level of the material you
are presenting and what they are
hoping to get out of the
presentation
- Be Logical
- You need to set the stage
(beginning), you tell the
story (middle), and you
have a big finish (the end)
where the take-home
message is clearly
understood.
- Delivering your presentation
- Follow-Up
- Asking for feedback can help you
improve your presentation for the
next time
- Write a script
- write a script to sit alongside your slides that will jog
your memory (just in case)
- simply two or three bullet points per slide
- Surprise your
audience and yourself
- Don't include anything in your slide deck that bores you, or it will surely bore your audience as well
- Do a practice-run of your presentation with your slides at least twice. This will help you figure out
which slides might be irrelevant, whether the ordering is appropriate, as well as how to transition
from one idea to the next.
- Be funny, but not ridiculous Tell a
personal story. Your slides should
strengthen these ideas.

expended time and energy to ensure you
have a place to share your work and ideas.

contacts who reach out to you.

you. Offer them feedback on their
presentations and add them to
your networks. Thank the
organizers who invited you to
present. With any luck, they'll invite
you back next time
