Preparing a presentation
![Page 4: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Step 1: Template
• is a unified design which will be used for every slide of your presentation
• gives identity to your presentation
![Page 5: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Types of Templates
• a company templatewith logos, company colors (example: SGBP)
• a pre-set templateselected from themes available in PPT
![Page 6: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
When choosing a template
choose one in sober colors, light color background and dark font.
![Page 7: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Simple template with a light background and a dark font will make your presentationeasily readable for your audience.
![Page 8: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Dark background with a white font
looks fancy but only for first few minutes. This negative combination of colors makes people’s eyes tired quickly and you lose their attention.

Step 2: Title page
• is the first page of the presentation
• must contain: title of the presentation, name of the author, logos, date
• serves for later identification of the presentation

Finalizing a presentation
Read your presentation again to:
correct spelling mistakes, grammar, missing words…
unify form of all slides (eg. all slides will be written in Calibri font size 28, aligned to the left)
check that inserted video and audio files work properly
![Page 29: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Saving a presentation
• Save your presentation in your computer but also on a flash disk, email it, or burn a DVD – just in case one medium doesn’t work
• In PPT format, changes can be always made
• If you want to give your presentation to people but don’t want them to mess with it, save it as PDF (but you’ll lose all animations and videos – attach them separately)
![Page 30: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Handing out a presentation
• Prepare DVDs with your presentation and your business cards to be handed out to your audience
• If you are on budget: upload the PPT online (eg. Dropbox, Yousendit)* and give people a link from which they can download it
• www.dropbox.com, www.yousendit.com
![Page 31: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Rehearsal
• Rehearse your presentation
• Great presenters rehearse 10times longer than is the actual duration of their presentation
![Page 32: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Presenting to an audience
![Page 35: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Before you start
• Come in advance to connect your computer with a projector and to make sure that all technical parts work well.
• Distribute DVDs or print outs of your presentation around a table/on chairs for the audience
• Have a glass of water ready
![Page 36: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Starting
• Have yourself introduced by the organizer of the meeting or introduce yourself at the beginning of your performance
• Announce a goal of your presentation (eg. At the end of this presentation, you will be able to create a well structured presentation and present it in a satisfactory way.)
![Page 38: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Presenting – eye contact
• If you're speaking to a small group (2-15 people), then try to accomplish eye contact with each person for a few seconds throughout your delivery.
• Look up from your materials, or notes, every 5-10 seconds, to look into the audience.
![Page 39: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Presenting – voice
• Speak a little bit louder and a little bit slower than you normally would do with a friend.
• Vary the volume and rate of your speech. A monotone voice will kill your audience’s attention.
![Page 40: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Presenting – position
• Stand with your feet at shoulder-length apart.
• Keep your hands relatively still.
• Always face your audience when speaking – never turn your back to them. Read from your laptop screen, not from the wall behind where the presentation is projected.
![Page 41: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Presenting – translation• Translation – speak in short sentences.
• It’s not recommended to translate your presentation yourself
For official presentation, have a professional interpreter for simultaneous translation.
An unofficial, workshop-like meeting, you can translate yourself but you will have to divide your concentration between what you are saying and translation.
![Page 42: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Presenting – questions
• Complementary questions (to clarify what has been said) can be asked during your delivery
• For other questions (which need more time to reply), there is a “question part” after you finish presenting
A presenter should also ask questions to the audience to check whether they understand his message and to keep them attentive by interactivity.
![Page 43: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Presenting – conclusion
• Thank your audience for their attention
• Encourage them to contact you in case they have more questions or relevant issues
![Page 44: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Attending a presentation
![Page 46: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Mobile phones
• Switch off your mobile phone. It is absolutely rude to disturb a presentation by your mobile ringing.
• If it is necessary to have it on, turn silent mode on.
![Page 47: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Late arrival
• Do not knock on the door, greet loudly, shake hands with people.
• It is your mistake that you are delayed so try to disturb the ongoing presentation as little as possible. (You will greet the fellow guys from the audience after the presentation.)
![Page 48: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Asking questions
• If you want to ask a question, you need to ask for being given the floor – by rising hand or saying “excuse me…”.
• One person always speaks at a time. Interrupting other person’s speech is unacceptable and also harms the communication.
![Page 49: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Printing a presentation
• It’s not necessary to print out each sheet separately – printing from PPT has options to print 2, 4 or 6 sheets on a single page. • NEVER print out PPT with a dark background
![Page 50: Presentation skills training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061118/546a49c4af79599c3b8b51de/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

Summary
• Preparation: KEEP IT SIMPLE
• Presentation: ENTERTAIN
• Attending a presentation: DO NOT DISTURB
