good tip
Preparing your
content
Benefits: when you prepare your
content before a presentation you
make them more faster and easier for
you to read or to comprehend the ideas
that you put avoiding the excess of
texts.
Best way to use this: this is a tip
and you need to use all the time
because you ever ever need to be
prepared before a presentation
usage of images
Benefits: the bigger its better,
one image per slide, mix your
visuals and creative commons
are phrases that make you
think if you use images in a
presentation you can get the
attenttion of the audience that
can be unaware or
disadvantaging for you
Best way to use this: the usage
of images and pictures in the
presentation its the best idea
when you don't want to explain a
lot and you try to get the idea for
the audience more visual
Text
Benefits: the faster someone
can read what's on your slide, the
quicker they will return to your
face and concentrate on what you
are saying.
Best way to use this: when you
want your audience to be
paying attention to you while
they are looking at the
slides
Effective communication
Benefits: It has to be compelling. There’s a
special need to use an authoritative tone, to
deliver an air of confidence. But beware! It
doesn’t have to be arrogant or you may lose
your audience’s attention. Remember the
following tips during your presentation: it is
key to make eye contact, speak clearly and
project, engage the audience by fielding
questions, and most importantly (and this is
new): stay calm.
Best way to use this: all the time you
need to make an effective
communication if you don't make the
conection with your audience then they
don't even care about what are you
talking about
Be Logical
Benefits: you have a
logical structure in your
presentation to make it
better and as the name
say, make it logical.
Best way to use this: Think of your
presentation as a story. There must
be a logical flow: a clear beginning, a
middle and a proper ending. You 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.
The floor is a stage
Benefits: Presentations should be
enjoyable, but do not spoil it and do
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.
Best way to use this: all the floor, if you know
where you going to do your presentation, you can
take an advantage of all the scenario or all the
resources at your disponibility in the stage
Provide Appropriate Acknowledgments
Benefits: People love to be acknowledged for their contributions.
Having many gratuitous acknowledgments degrades the people who
actually contributed. If you defy Rule 7, then you will not be able to
acknowledge people and organizations appropriately, as you will run
out of time. It is often appropriate to acknowledge people at the
beginning or at the point of their contribution so that their
contributions are very clear.
Best way to use this: Sometimes you are
sure a presentation will go well, and
afterward you feel it did not go well. Other
times you dread what the audience will
think, and you come away satisfied. But
that’s the way things are sometimes.
Make a persistent message
Benefits: There is a very simple exercise
to see if your message made a good
impression. Whenever possible, ask a
member of your audience a week later
about your presentation. He or she should
be able to remember three of your key
points. If these are the ones you were
trying to present, it was a great job. Any
other three points remembered, but not
the key points, demonstrate your
emphasis was mistaken.
Best way to use this: If they
can’t recall any points at all (or
just one or two), it is clear you
didn’t do a good job.
Communicate in your
specialty
Benefits: As we stated before,
demonstrating to students is different from
offering a proposal to a corporate board of
directors. Other types of presentations
include training demonstrations, business
proposals, professional negotiations, or even
job interviews.
Best way to use this: They’re all
valid objectives. All you need is to
set them up properly.
