Two scenarios Please Go! Just Give Attendance! Statement 1: Presentation skills are important! Sir! One last question Please!! Statement 2: Effective presentation skills are important
Reason • "Presentation skills" is not a black and white off/on switch. • It is a rainbow of colors. • Everybody has presentation skills. • Some are better than others. • Secondary goal: to be better than your competition, whoever and whatever that is. • Primary goal: to get better with every presentation • that you deliver.
How to make a good presentation • Text crisp, brief, pithy, crystal clear • Do not be wordy or verbose • Don't overdo • A solid background with contrasting text and a logo in the corner works best • Make one key point per slide • Six Bullets • Have no more than six major bullets per slide, • Capitalize • Use Sentence case • Left justify all text
Bullets are not sentences; • Phrases; omit periods and needless words • Text Size • Minimum 24 points for bullets (28 or 32, if possible) • 36 points for the title • Picturize • A picture really is worth a thousand words • Mix it up; • a graph here, a picture there, a quote, whatever • Animate • Animation's a nice touch, but don't go nuts with it; it can be distracting
