“TO FAIL TO PREPARE IS TO PREPARE TO FAIL”
1. Introductions and an icebreaker
(story, statement, fact, joke, quotation, activity to warm up); the purpose
2. Main points
(in sequential order of increasing importance, ideas from the simplest to the most complex)
3. Closing (summary, conclusion)
PACKAGING
Well prepared:
WHAT? (What is the purpose?) FOR WHOM? (Who is the audience?) (What does the audience know?) WHEN? (How much time?) WHERE? (Place?) HOW? (Visual aids)
THE VOICEThe most valuable tool
volume (to be heard, lower to draw the
audience, raise to make a point)
tone (fear, laughter)
pitch (how long a sound lasts. Varying the
pace maintains interest)
THE BODY
good posture eye contact facial expressions gestures proximity (comfortable distance for interaction, look for signals: rocking, leg swinging tapping...) voice (modulate to avoid a monotone voice)
NERVES
Tension ruins the voice, posture, spontaneity The presenter starts to read directly from the notes
Help: visualize the room/audience get a drink of water take a deep breath say: I can do it!
WINERS CONTINUE! LOSERS STOP!
QUESTIONS reflect interest allow time at the end, pause about 6
seconds to allow the audience to gather
thoughts clarify if you do not understand if you do not know, tell them you will
get back to them
TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
Give handouts if you want your audience to remember better
Speak to the audience, not to the visual aids
Do not stand between the visual aid and the audience
Speak clearly and loudly, not in a monotone voice
Write no more than 7 lines of text per page and no more than 7 words per line (the 7 + 7 rule)Get to the presentation before the audience, be the last one to leaveListen intently to comments and opinionsCirculate around the room as you speakVary your techniques: lecture, discussion, debate, films, slides, reading...
