Week Eight - Top Five Stategies to Give a Top Notch Presentation

Top Five Tips

1) When creating a powerpoint presentation, keep the slides simple. Each slide should consist of only one point. This is become the audience cannot absorb all information if there are large amounts presented.

2) Take your time and do not speak too quickly. This will enable the audience to hear every word said clearly. If the speaker is speaking too fast then the words are heard unclearly and the message to the audience is not understood.

3) Make sure you are engaging with the audience. Involve them within the presentation. Questions or even discussion may be carried out for this. This allows the audience to remember more as they are involved with what is being discussed.

4) Formatting should be done effectively considering the type target audience. High contrasted colours and big font size without adding fancy animations or font styles which may distract the audience.

5) Walking around or adding attention to you or the discussion can improve the discussion concerning the topic. Helen mentioned within the lecture that walking around helped produce attention. This can be done by reaching to every audience member.
