language,

Presentation tools

Presentation tools

• Easy to blame them

for a bad or poorly

• Lots of colour is usually good

• Use simple animations sparingly

Bullet Points

• Maybe the best way to get your message aross

• Keep it simple

• The fewer the bullets the better

• Avoid “death by bulltet points” –

dozens of really boring slides

read off by the presenter

Design of the presentation

• Crucial

• Words (text) 7%

• Vocal Input 38%

• Is about the message you want to convey

• Must deliver the mesage clearly and with

conviction

• Presenters present, not the laptop

• Like a glass containing good whisky

• The glass contain the whisky so that people

can appreciate and savour it

• Allow people to appreciate and understand

the content

“That was a good

presentation”

• A bitter blow

• A presentation should just happen by magic so that people don´t notice it

• Allow them to fully concentrate upon the

message, not the medium

• You are the most important visual aid

• The way you deliver your

presentation and engage

your audience is a crucial

factor

• Audience must remember

you at the end of the

presentation, rather than a

good slide show

Do´s and Don´ts

Do´s

• Research your audience first

• Decide on your key objective

• Learn and rehearse the first

three sentences – for a confident

start

• Speak more slowly than usual -

people cannot “speed listen”

• Apologize at the start or end – if you make a mistake just move on
