How to make a presentationAuthor: Volodymyr Shymanskyy

Trainer? Coach? Mentor? Teacher?

It’s still Information Technology

Leadership matters

Focus on fastest

Study psychology

Can’t teach

● Can’t pass experience

● Have to:o Motivate

o Be an example

o Help with some knowledge and advice

o Train (create mental or physical environment)

● Mostly not looking for the knowledge

Material preparation

● Who’s the audience?

● What do they expect?

● What’s the main goal of presentation?

● How much time do I have?

● What do I want them to remember?

● How many slides to prepare?

● Which slide transition effects?

● Which animations?

Brainstorming

● Do it offline

● No criticism

● Only creation, no editing

● Lots and lots of ideas

Restrictions are needed for creativity

Structurization

MindMup

Linearization & slide creation

● Mostly 1 slide per ideao Unless too lazy like me

● Several slides if needed

● Empty slides not to disturbo Maybe some nice neutral picture

● Prefer putting notes

Unleash your thought

1. Define main thesis

2. Show context

3. Unveil thesis

4. Example + proof

5. Show counterarguments

6. One more example

7. Summary or suggestion

Slides design

Makes your presentation functional

Finalization
