Friend or foe ?!

Stage Fear ?It is perfectly normal to

feel nervous

Just don't show it !

Should be a visual aid and not a

visual distraction

Try not to use the

“same old templates”

Innovate!

The key to preparing effective audiovisual aids is to remember that they are only aids. Their role is to add a visual dimension to the points that you made orally. They cannot make those points for you; they can only reinforce them. When you plan for audiovisual aids, follow these simple guidelines: One research finding says that if you use a visual aid to make your first point, you'll increase retention rate from 15 to 40 per cent. But with each additional visual aid that rate will decrease….

Text heavy slides

Lower Abdominal Pain

You can’t stop talking

Recall: You cannot start talking until the

audience has finished reading

But: You can’t stop talking

So: You end up reading your slide to the

audience.

Which is: Really annoying

Don’t turn your back to the audience

Have a back up

Presentation

dos & don'ts

He who fails to prepare

Prepares to fail

Check the room layout and locate light switches

Know your hard ware

Dress appropriately

Use clothes in which you are comfortable

The audience will judge you in the

first 30 seconds they see you

Maintain eye contact !

Work the whole room

Rule of thumb:

not > 3sec on each member of the

audience

Don’t rush through your presentation

Pauses are vital !

Don’t allow the

PowerPoint to

take over the

presentation

What do I want them to learn from me?

It really begins in your mind!

Make enough slides so that you don't

have to keep going back and forth in

the presentation.

Did you know you can spell-check in

Powerpoint?

May the best presentation of you past be the worst presentation of your future

Thank you
