HOW TO MAKE A GOOD PRESENTATION
1.Create an easy-to-follow structure:
When it comes to what you have to say, break it down into three simple sections: your presentation needs an introduction, body, and conclusion.
1.A compelling introduction. Your introduction needs to briefly sum up what you’re going to talk about and why it’s useful or relevant to your audience.
2.Offer a body of evidence. The body of your presentation is where you hit ’em with the facts, quotes, and evidence to back up your main points.
3.Sum up with key takeaways. The conclusion is where you loop back to your original statement and give the audience some key takeaways on how they can put into practice what they’ve learned.
4.No more than 10 slides in total.
2.Limit the amount of copy on each slide:
1.No more than six words per slide.
2.Think ‘bite-size’ information.
3.Be savvy with design details:
1.Use color sparingly.
2.Be consistent with your font.Stick with one font and one size throughout.
3.Format for perfectionMake sure your text is aligned and neat.
Polish several times:
1.Start Messy.
2.Edit ruthlessly. At first you might have a huge amount of information and will wonder how you’re ever going get it down to six words per slide. That’s OK. Keep editing ruthlessly until you’ve pared your message down to the bare essentials.
3.Get someone else to look at it.
Have a strong opening:
1.Be different.
2.Ask a question.Rhetorical questions are a great way to frame a topic and introduce ideas.
3.Tailor it to your audience.
Be genuine:
1.Use humor. Humor can be great for giving a presentation, but cut it out if it feels like a stretch.
2.Don’t be afraid to mess up.
3.Open up and be vulnerable.
Have a plan for a smooth delivery:
1.Have a practice run-through.
2.Use a remote. A clicker or remote will help you face the audience and not have to keep turning back to your laptop.
3.Have backup material.
4.Use a timer.
8.To conclude, focus on audience value:
1.Leave your audience with an emotional impression.
2.Use a pause for key takeaways.
