  1. 9IMGC tips for presentersHow to be prepared, confident and deliver a great and memorable talk!

  2. Be Professional, Passionate, Proud and Prepared • This is YOUR talk – OWN it, LOVE it, ENJOY it • No one in the room KNOWS this like you – remember that as you walk on stage • Stand TALL, Speak CLEARLY, Speak UP • Deliver a PACED and measured talk – don’t rush • And remember, it’s OK to be nervous!

  3. Focus your AIM - What is your message? • Time is of the essence. Have a clear aim for your talk – say what that is upfront • Develop your key messages • Keep your messages clear and concise • Tell a story: Introduction, Information, conclusions/recommendations, summary • Don’t reproduce your entire paper – refer the audience to it for the detail

  4. Timing Tips • Match your presentation to the time available. 15 minutes: • 1 minute on the INTRODUCTION • 10 minutes on the KEY INFORMATION • 1 to 2 minutes on the CONCLUSIONS and RECOMMENDATONS • 1 to 2 minutes on the SUMMARY and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

  5. Engage your Audience • TALK to the audience, not the back wall. Eye contact enhances your message • USE the microphone with INTENT – speak INTO it and don’t turn away when talking • Embrace your own talking style (be FUNNY if it works for you), but don’t let your style detract from your talk • Don’t apologise!

  6. Be CONFIDENT • PLAN the talk! • PRACTICE it – by yourself, then • PRESENT it to peers, family and the dog • LISTEN to feedback – ask for questions and take on constructive comments • FINESSE the talk and your style • PRACTICE it more! • PREPARE for potential questions

  7. Avoid the Common Pitfalls • Too many slides • Poor presentation material: • Too much detail on slides (text, tables, figures) • Inappropriate colour schemes • Too many special effects • Running out of time because you deviated away from your planned talk • Not knowing your talk well enough

  8. Summary! • The audience is receptive and wants to hear your talk • Prepare well and you can do it … and do it well! • Remember to have fun – enjoy the moment

  9. Examples of things that could go wrong

  10. Things that go wrong:Too many slides • A good rule of thumb is 1 to 1.25 slides per minute – so for a 20 minute talk, if you have well over 20 slides – YOU HAVE TOO MANY! • If your presentation has more than this, reduce slides by focusing content to the key messages – not by increasing the detail on each slide by reducing the font size!

  11. Things that go wrong:Too much text on a slide

  12. Things that go wrong – Special effects that detract from your talk • Visual bombardment by using too many different effects to introduce text, tables and figures • Audio bombardment by using too many and/or unnecessary sound effects

  13. Things that go wrong - Effects • Avoid distracting emphasis • And disappearance • Limit sound effects • Distracting or unreadable fonts for example. • Distracting or unreadablefonts • Font sized reduced so you can fit more words onto the page

  14. Things that go wrong:Overly complex diagrams

  15. Things that go wrong – Tables • Too much data, unreadable

  16. Things that go wrong – Graphics • Cluttered maps

  17. Things that go wrong – Graphics • Graphs-poor choice of colours, thin lines, no title, no legend, no axis

  18. Things that go wrong - Effects • Make sure sounds and video clips play. Either embed the files into the presentation or include the files on one of your 2* copies of the presentation. • * Bring at least 2 copies of the presentation along on separate storage medium in case one is compromised

  19. Things that go wrong – Images • Blurry Images • Generic clip art can look amateurish

  20. Format the size of the picture to ensure it fits within the slide

  21. Images continued: Example of a good image • Simple effective messages

  22. And Now…Time to prepare and PRACTICE!GOOD LUCK
