  2. What makes a good presentation/talk? Visual – Delivery - Content

  3. Delivery Content • Speak clearly • Clear structure • Engage with audience • Relevant and focused • Vary the pace and tone • Appropriate to audience • Enthusiasm • Well paced • Checked and accurate Visual aids Handouts • Clear and simple • For background information • Should support what you • For summaries are saying • Do not distract 3

  4. How to give a good presentation or talk

  5. In a nutshell… • It is important to understand WHO your audience is , WHAT the core message is that you are trying to convey in an area which you are PASSIONATE about and to PRACTICE enough times to feel comfortable with the delivery. • i.e. AUDIENCE, MESSAGE, PASSION, PRACTICE

  6. Audience • Be audience centric • Develop your material from an empathetic perspective in order to better engage them • You need them more than they need you, treat them with consideration and humility

  7. Audience Task • Who are they? • What are they expecting? • What do they want? • What do you want them to go away thinking?

  8. Message • Clear, concise, explainable in a sentence or two • Beginning, middle and end • Must emphasise why it is important to the audience (not just how you did x, y or z)

  9. Message - Planning • Use Post-it notes, cards with key ideas first, in order to move ideas around for sequence etc • Write broader notes as you go • When (provisionally) happy with sequence and content, make slides or notecards

  10. Message • Use memorable photos where possible • Keep text to a minimum

  11. Message Task • What is your core message? • Can you sum it up in a sentence? • Are you passionate about it? Why/why not?

  12. Practice • Practice makes perfect • Enough practice allows you to stop sounding mechanical and start sounding natural • Avoid stress and anxiety by counting your breath, breathing deeply and adopting open body language (i.e. face the audience, smile and be yourself and don’t fold your arms)
