Presentation Transcript

  1. Before You Start • Identify: • Objective(s) of Talk • Main Points • Make Outline/Rough Draft of Presentation • Based on Objectives/Main Points • Not Based on Fitting Entire Project Work into Presentation • Prepare Cue Cards to Trigger Key Points • Number Cards, but DO NOT Rely on Them • Practice!!! Out-loud, Standing Up, for Real!

  2. Making the Presentation • Introduce Yourself, Thank Audience • “Bookends” • Tell Them What You are Going Tell Them • Tell Them • Tell Them What You Just Told Them • Carefully Plan Your Time • One to Two Minutes per Slide • Do NOT try to fit 40 Slides into 25 Minutes! • You WILL be Scrambling, Skipping Slides • Do NOT Digress, You Will Run Out of Time • Leave Time for Questions and Discussion

  3. Delivering • Speak Clearly, Loudly and Slowly • Pause at Key Points • Be EXTREMELY Careful Using Humor • These are Often Disastrous • Smooth Transitions Between Speakers “Now, John will discuss…” vs. • “Whose slide is this?... Not me, you go.” • Use Hands and Laser Pointer to Highlight • Do not get Overzealous with Them • Use Positive Body Language (Stand Tall) • Indicates that you Believe in Your Work

  4. Delivering Look at the Audience as much as Possible Avoid Staring at the Screen Do Not Stare at Anyone in Audience Sweep Across Audience with Your Eyes Stand so that the Audience can Clearly See Each Team-Member (Do Not Hide) You may use Both Sides to Stand Feel Free to Move, but Avoid Pacing Speak Naturally, but NOT Conversationally Build on Connections with Audience Use the Audience’s Names if Possible

  5. The Slides Pick a Nice Background With Good Contrast to Text Use Only One Transition (If Any at All) No Need for Text to Fly in from the Bottom, Spin Twice and Blink!!! More Figures, Less Text Diverse Figures (Drawings, Pictures) Put Triggers Directly onto Slides, Figures Use Section Dividers Font Should be Easy to Read, 28+ pt. Size

  15. Final Remarks Dress Nice (aka. Look Professional) Relax, No One is “Trying to Get You” Thank the Audience, Then Ask for Questions When Fielding Questions: Pause, Think, and Answer the Best that You Can Qualify Answers When You are Not Certain It’s Far Better to Say “You Don’t Know” than it is to give a False Statement Video, Animations Only When Justified
