Presentation Skills Tips
Presentation skills are a must have skill in today's competitive business world.
Get the message
Key
Messages are critical in any presentation. You can only
determine what these key messages should be after
consultation with key people.
What are the needs of this target group?
What clear message do you want the audience to leave with after the presentation?
Is there any history that I need to be aware of for this target group?
How will the information be able to be implemented for immediate results and long-term benefits?
Once you have met with your client or key personnel you should have decided on one or maybe two or three strong key messages (not more than three – unless you use an acronym) that need to be the basis of your presentation. You cannot begin to plan your presentation unless your key messages have been determined.
Key messages form the basis of any presentation.
Really? I didn’t know that.
Facts, myths and other interesting stuff.
When introducing a new slide or picture allow participants time to become mentally comfortable with the image.
According to Wolfe, 2001 because the eyes send millions of
signals per second to be processed in the visual centres of
the brain, the brain takes in more visually than any other
sense.
By the age of 15 the visual system of the brain is mature so people can acquire complex visuals throughout their lifetime. (Jensen 2001)
You should therefore use vibrant, interesting and engaging visuals in your presentations if you want to get a point across and for it to be remembered.
You may have heard of the Pyramid of Learning or the Cone of Learning. It has been in classrooms around the world for years as a diagram to explain how we learn best. Interestingly enough the facts have never been substantiated. Further reading on this topic here »
