What is a presentation?

• A presentation is a formal talk to one or more people that "presents" ideas or information in a clear, structured way.

Definition & Importance of Presentation

“A structured , prepared and speech-based means of communicating information, ideas, or arguments to a group of interested people in order to inform or persuade them”

Objective Of Presentation

The objective of communication is Not the transmission but the reception.

The whole content of a speech must therefore be geared not to the speaker but to the audience.

The main problem is the people to whom you are talking.

Why Give a Presentation?

“a picture is worth a thousand words”



"Tell me and I will forget, Show me and I will remember, Involve me and I will understand".

Important Tips:

• Start with a quotation• Keep it short• A picture is worth a thousand words• Involve the audience• Produce an unusual statistic• Live with the fear• Avoid jargon• KISS: Keep It Simple Stupid• Don't use PowerPoint sound effects• Check out the room before your

presentation

KISS



• Keep it Simple Sam/ Stupid

• “Stay on target” – Star Wars A New Hope

• In writing, keep it to one page

• Presentations should last no more than an hour.

• The average attention span of children is 5 minutes; teens is 25 minutes; adults 50 minutes.

KISS KISS PowerPoint

• Less is better.

• Not too many colors.

• Not too much animation.

• Don’t distract from the main point.

• Don’t introduce anything that can distract the audience from your message.

Primacy and Recency

• Put the most important things in a list either FIRST or LAST.

• This goes for written, oral or PowerPoint.• Start or finish a meeting with the important

things.

Left versus Right Brain

• Left brain deals with words.• Right brain deals with art, music, colors,

pictures etc.

• Go after all the senses • visual graph• oral presentation

• and written words.



1 picture = 1000 words Humor (LOL)

• Avoid it

• However, every good presentation starts with humor….

More tips FOUR-IN-ONE

Every presentation is really four presentations:

• The one you PLAN to deliver• The one you ACTUALLY deliver• The one you WISH you had delivered• The one your audience HEARS

• "There are always three speeches, for every one you actually gave. The one you practiced, the one you gave, and the one you wish you gave." -- Dale Carnegie



AVOIDING “DEATH BY POWERPOINT”

• Limit slide to 30 words

• Use large, bold font

• 10-to-1 rule (laptop to screen)

• Avoid “distracting” transitions

• Do not use the media to hide you

• The media should enhance the presentation, not BE the presentation

• Remember, only you can prevent

“ Death by PowerPoint”

Organization

• Carefully outline your presentation

• Organize around effective visual aids

• Careful use of humor

• Organize presentation with: – introduction– body– conclusion

Construction

• Appearance is EVERYTHING

• Allow at least one minute for each slide

• Mix modes

• Intersperse pictures or graphics wherever possible to catch reader’s eye

Preparation• Can you name the 3 most important

things when giving any presentation?

Number 1 is… Preparation

Number 2 is… Preparation!

Number 3 is… Preparation!!

Preparation is everything!

Prepare, prepare, prepare!

• “Fail to prepare – prepare to fail!”

• Checklist�Know your subject�Know your audience�Know your environment�Know your materials�Know your presentation!!



Practice, practice, practice

• Practice– Your timing– Your delivery style– Your posture & gestures

“An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.”

Mahatma Gandhi

Audience• "Who am I making this presentation to?"

• Business people? Professional people? Political people? Experts or non-experts?

• Will it be a small, intimate group of 4 colleagues or a large gathering of 400 competitors?

• How much do they know already and what will they expect from you?

No less than half an hour should be spent in preparation for 5 minutes of talking.

Suppose you have a talk to give, where do you start?

• Formulate Your Objectives

• Structure

The Plan Guidelines for Using Memorable Language

• Involve the audience.

• Refer to people, not to abstractions.

• Use interesting facts, figures, and quotations.



Simplicity and Clarity

• simple and clear .

• Use short words and short sentences.

• Do not use jargon.

• Talk about concrete facts rather than abstract ideas.

Use active verbs instead of passive verbs.

1.Toyota sold two million cars last year.

2.Two million cars were sold by Toyota last year.

Which is easier to understand?

Which is more immediate? Which is more powerful ?

No.1 is active and No.2 is passive.

Fonts

• Choose a clean font that is easy to read.

• Roman and Gothic typefaces are easier to read than Script or Old English.

• Stick with one or two types of fonts.

Font Size & Rule of 36

• Bulleted items should be no smaller than 22 points.

• The title should be no smaller than 28 points.• Size Matters (Can you read this 18 pt. easily?)

• Use font size 36• 6 lines per page, 6 words per line• Maximum of 36 words per page



PROMINENCE

1Most prominent

• Fear of rejection• Fear of evaluation• Fear of embarrassment• Fear of forgetting• Fear of questions



BENEFITS OF NERVOUSNESS

• Properly controlled, can create enthusiasm

• more likely to plan and practice

• Overly confident presenters more likely to “wing it,” resulting in a rambling, unfocused presentation and unsatisfactory answers

Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking

9 P's: � “Prior Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance of the Person

Putting on the Presentation” .

� Know the room � Know Your Material� Learn How to Relax � Visualize Yourself Speaking� Concentrate on Your Message� Use involvement techniques (participation)� Learn participants' names and use them� Establish your credibility early by stating your ex perience,

qualifications, successes etc� Use eye contact to establish rapport� Obtain information about the audience in advance� Manage your appearance (dress comfortably and appro priately)� Use your own style (don't imitate someone else) � Introduce yourself to the group in advance (via a s ocial context)

Rehearsal

• Good preparation and rehearsal can reduce nerves by 75%

enthusiastic too. • establish eye contact with each member of your

audience. • in as natural a way as possible. • gives the opportunity to detect signs of boredom,

disinterest or even disagreement, allowing you to modify your presentation as appropriate.

Recap - Common Mistakes

• Reading a speech word for word• Reading a PowerPoint presentation• Speaking too fast• Mumbling• Failing to make eye contact with the whole

audience – e.g. turning to face a whiteboard etc• Being too serious• Speaking in a monotone• Annoying physical or verbal habits• Lack of energy and enthusiasm• Going over time.

Presentation Grading

• Presentation Style (10 points)– Professional, delivery style, speech

• Visual Aids (10 points)– Readability of slides, appropriate length of

presentation

• Technical Content (15 points)– Talk structured well, essential parts there,

research communicated effectively

• Q&A (5 points)– Able to respond effectively to questions, admits

when answer is not known, gives reasonable replies

Really Good Presenters

• Organize your material in the way that is most comfortable.

• Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse! • Helps "work out the bugs" • And polish the presentation. • a rehearsal usually will run about 20% shor.ter

than a live presentation



Really Good Presenters …

• concentrate on deep breathing and relaxing. “Expect and accept nervousness!”

• Your opening should be simple and exciting• Start off with a natural pace • establishing a strong, positive image. • how you look, sound, and come across are vital. • Talk to your audience, not at them.

Really Good Presenters …

• Speak in short and simple sentences. • Never apologize for yourself or your credentials. • Do not criticize anything about the session, city,

or setting. • Never indicate you don't have enough time• Make your conclusion memorable.

Influence Strategies

• Inspiration• Rational Persuasion• Consultation• Ingratiation• Personal Appeal• Exchange• Pressure• Legitimating• Coalition


159

Question and Answer

• Observe diplomacy and tact– people ask questions for a variety of

reasons, not necessarily to get further information. Above all, don’t lose your cool or get defensive. Keep on track

– repeat the question for benefit of the audience and to make sure you heard it right (this also helps you organize your thoughts). Answer the question. Do not elaborate unless asked to do so.



• Watch assertions– “In my opinion..” only works if you are qualified to

give an opinion. Defer to facts and resources when possible.

• Don’t lie– It’s unethical ! Assume that the audience knows

everything about the topic -- if you lie and get caught, they’ll kill you. If you don’t know don’t b e afraid to say “I don’t know”. Tell the questioner that you do not have the answer right now but you would be happy to look it up, or discuss the concept with him or her at a later time.

Question and AnswerOpportunities

• Welcoming gestures• Focusing gaze• Body language• Getting point• Reinforcing message• Including audience

Pitfalls

• Hostile gestures• Wandering gaze• Body language• Missing point• Seeking approval• Excluding audience


163

Dangerous Responses

� “Good question”

� “I’m glad you asked that question”



Final Advice

• Vary the teaching methods you use,• Be Prepared• Ask Questions, Answer Questions• Incorporate diverse audiovisual materials, • Involve your audience.• End on Time

THE FINAL ARROW

• Reduced version of your “ 3”• Your “ closing argument”• Audience likely to remember

• Complete in about fifteen seconds
