HOW TO MAKE A PRESENTATION
Create an easy-to-follow structure
Break it down into three simple sections: your presentation needs an introduction, body, and conclusion.
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.
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.
Sum up with key takeaways
he 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.
No more than 10 slides in total
Limit the amount of copy on each slide
Less really is more.Too much text and the audience will just be reading the screen instead of looking at you and feeling the emotional impact of your message.
No more than six words per slide
Choose your words carefully and rewrite until you’ve got it just right.
Think ‘bite-size’ information
Video is a great way to learn.
Be savvy with design details
Use color sparingly
Bright colors can dazzle, but too many can be offputting. Use the colors most relevant to your message. One or two colors.
Be consistent with your font
Stick with one font and one size throughout.
Format for perfection
Make sure your text is aligned and neat
Polish several times
1.Start Messy
2.Edit ruthlessly
Keep editing ruthlessly until you’ve pared your message down to the bare essentials.
3.Get someone else to look at it
How to give a good presentation
Have a strong opening
Be different
Ask a question
Rhetorical questions are a great way to frame a topic and introduce ideas.
Tailor it to your audience
The more you know about your audience, the better. Especially if you know their likes and dislikes.
Be genuine
Use humor
Telling a humorous story can break down any barriers, make you more likeable, and make your message more memorable.
Don’t be afraid to mess up
Open up and be vulnerable
Have a plan for a smooth delivery
Have a practice run-through
Use a remote
Have backup material
Not everything you say is going to resonate with your audience.
Use a timer
To conclude, focus on audience value
Leave your audience with an emotional impression
By leaving them with an emotional impression, from a piece of video with moving music to a line from a song or poem, you’ll strike that resonant chord and end on a high.
Use a pause for key takeaways
The silence will emphasize what you said and make it meaningful.
Make your core message sing
A call to action is the best way to wrap up your presentation with strength and impact.
