  6. Principles of Presenting • Preparation: • Be organised and know what your going to say. • Watch your use of jargon. • Rehearse the presentation. • Research the audience. • Who am I talking to. • Judge audience knowledge. • Audience expectations. • Numbers attending. • Who talks before me.

  7. Principles of Presenting • Decide on presentation style. • Watch out for speling misstakes & errors on slides. • Identify suitable presentation aids. • If you’re worrying about the technology –it’s in the way. • Be Yourself: • Dress appropriately for the presentation. • Make yourself heard. • Keep what you say simple. • Expect to be nervous: • Take deep breaths. • Question Yourself: • Before blaming the audience.

  8. Principles of Presenting • Tell ‘em what you’re going to tell ‘em • Tell ‘em • Tell ‘em what you’ve told ‘em Or • think of your presentation as a story with a beginning, a middle & an end.

  9. Common Obstacles • Visual Aids: • Written Notes: • Body Language: • Waffle: • Don’t!!! – Keep it simple and clear. • The Room: • Equipment: • The Audience:

  10. Presentation Equipment • Black/White Boards. • Flipchart (paper). • Overhead projector (OHP). • Slide projector. • Television & Video player. • Digital Projection (for use with a computer or video). • Digital / Active Whiteboards.

  11. A mix of sizes, bullets & colours PowerPoint Tips (Cleland, 2001 & Holzl, 1997) • Use a font that is readable (this is Tahoma). • Consider the size of the room when choosing font size. More then 200 seats = Headings: 42 point; Main text: 36 point. Less then 200 seats = Headings: 36 point;Main text: 28 point. Less then 50 seats = Headings: 32 point;Main text: 24 point. • For maximum effect choose predominantly lower case letters.

  12. Too much text with a mix of fonts PowerPoint Tips (Cleland, 2001 & Holzl, 1997) Arial pt24 • Preview the effect of your chosen colours: • Be consistent & have no more than 4 regions of colour • Text colour should complement and be distinguishable from background colour • Bright colors project energy. • Pastels are more delicate than bright colors. • Reds,oranges are "hot". • Blues,greens are "cool". • Choose pictures and clipart that enhance your message. • Know what version of Powerpoint is on the machine where you will be doing the presentation. • Always have a back-up: transparencies, handouts, web-site. • Practice! Practice! Practice. Tahoma pt20 Book Antiqua pt24

  13. Presentation Skills Check List • Seek feedback on presentations • To present better you have to: • Believe you can do it. • Want to make it happen. • Work at it. • Keep developing your presentations. • Look at what works and what doesn’t. • Improve through training, reading and presenting. • Obtain support.

  14. Make it Interesting “I do not object to people looking at their watches when I am speaking but I strongly object when they start shaking them to make certain they are still going” Lord Birkett.

  15. Creating Your Presentation Create a 10 minute PowerPoint Presentation on the topic: ‘My Clinical Placement’. • The presentation should reflect the feelings (positive or otherwise) you have about your placement experience. • The presentation should contain a minimum of 3 slides. • Use appropriate clipart and/or images. • You can use the Notes panel to outline what you are going to say about each slide. • Use Transitions and Preset Animation effects (Builds) to enhance the presentation.  You have 30 minutes to complete this work
