The biggest problem with


communication is the illusion
that it has been accomplished.

I always think a great


speaker convinces us not by
force of reasoning but
because he is visibly enjoying
the beliefs he wants us to
accept.

What Is A Good Presenter?

A presenter should be like a mini skirt:


Long enough to cover the vital parts,
and short enough to attract attention.

Introduction
Introduction is probably the most important part. The
Purpose of the introduction is to tell the audience what
you are going to tell them. You should remember that there
is no second chance for a first bad impression. If you start off badly
you will spoil everything.
During the introduction you need to achieve the following aims:

gain Attention
attract Interest
create Desire
stimulate Action

Getting Started - Greeting The Audience


What you need to do first is to greet your audience.
Here are some useful phrases:

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.


Welcome to my presentation.
Its very nice to see you all here today.
Can we get started?
Let me say just a few words about my background...

Then you proceed to the introduction to your topic

Possible Introduction Scheme:

1.

Start with welcoming courtesies/introduce yourself

2. State the purpose of your talk, using one of the techniques


3. Give a route map (tell them how long will your presentation take)
4. give the rules (do you allow to be interrupted or should your
audience keep questions until the end)

Some useful phrases

What I want to do this morning is to ..

My talk will take about 30 minutes.

During my presentation, Im going to be focusing on four main areas.

Ill be giving out copies of my transparencies at the end.

If you have any questions, or comments youd like to make,


please dont hesitate to stop me.

Five key techniques


The interesting fact
The challenging
rhetorical question
The relevant quotation
The shared history
The personal story /
your expert opinion!

Making An Effective Opening


There are several ways how to attract the audience right from the beginning. Think of
one of the following techniques to introduce your talk:

Give them a problem to think about (Suppose you... Why is it that...)


Give them some amazing facts.(Did you know that ...)
Give them a story or a personal anecdote (stories always atract attention)
Use a citation (if you want to start on a more philosophical note)
Make a funny remark (but be careful with humour, not all jokes work well)
Record a music piece perhaps (if appropriate for the topic)

Creative Openings
A strong quotation
An analogy or example
Get audience to do something
Ask a question
State a real, dramatic or humorous situation
Refer to a current event
Use an imaginary situation
A strong, dramatic visual aid

Signposting
When you drive on roads you follow the
signs and you cannot get lost. Similarly,
when you give a presentation, you need
to give signals to your audience to know
where they are and what is coming
next. They know it because you tell
them by giving signposts at the
beginning and all along the way. This
technique is called 'signposting' (or
'signalling').
Look at this example:
"I'll start by describing the current position in Europe. Then I'll move on to
some of the achievements we've made in Asia. After that I'll consider the
opportunities we see for further expansion in Africa.
Lastly, I'll quickly recap before concluding with some recommendations."

Use singposting in your presentations

Singposting is the halmark of the language of presentations. The more you


use the signposting phrases, the lighter and easier the language becomes.
Signposting phrases will help you lead your audience; they will know where
you are going.

Use singposting in your presentations


Good afternoon everybody. Id like to thank you all for coming here today and listen to
me. I hope by the end of the day you will leave with a knowledge of what equipment
can do for you and how the government can benefit by using it.
If you would like to take notes, please do so. However, all of you will be given a
handout at the end of my presentation.
I am going to talk today about a new product, a breath control measurement
instrument ALCOTEST. The first such product was introduced to the market 40 years
ago and has been used all over the world.
The new range of products Im going to familiarise you with are the Alcotest 7110 MK
III and Alcotest 7410. Now, the main purpose of the talk, of my talk, is to outline the
major benefits of using these models.
Before doing so, I would like you to look at some general technical features which I
hope you will find encouraging. Then Ill move on to the benefits for the users.
Lets look at some figures. Ill put them on the screen now. As you can see the
Alcotest comes as a portable instrument, integrated in a metal case, including
heatable sampling hose, a 40-digit alphanumerical display, integrated printer, mains
connection and 12 V battery.

Ending your talk


When you come to the end of your presentation you need to indicate
this to the people. Dont just end up abruptly without giving a
conclusion.The purpose of the conclusion is to tell the people what
you have told them.
Follow this scheme:
summarise

facts
give recommendations
give proposals
Thank the audience
Invite questions

Ending your talk : useful phrases


Wrapping up
This brings me to the end of my presentation.

Let me just run over the key points again


To sum up briefly
To conclude
As weve seen
So, my recommendation is .
I would welcome any suggestions.

Thanking the audience & Inviting questions


Thank you for your attention and if you have any questions Ill be pleased
to answer them.
Ill be happy to answer any questions.
Are there any questions youd like to ask?

DAY 2

Maybe you are new at


talking to a large group
of people and you are a
shy person to begin
with. Dont feel bad
about it! Feeling
nervous is a typical
thing many people
experience. There are
little ways to resolve
this problem;
holding small objects in your
hand but dont let the crowd
notice.
OR
Imagining the audience is
not there watching you or
your friends are the
audience which is very
comforting.

vercoming nervousness

Controlling Nerves

Dry mouth: bite side of the tongue, sip water


Too much saliva: breath through mouth
Tight throat: yawn with your mouth closed
Short of breath: apply pressure on lower
abdomen
Butterflies: tense & relax muscles of abdomen
Drying Up: look at your note, repeat what you
have just said
Gestures
Practice

Making Notes

Use Cards - tie/number


Use headings/subheadings
Bullet points
Colour code/shorthand
Underline/indent
Write out first/last sentence in full
Memorise introduction
Rehearse
Use large visible printing

SPEAKING
Talk at a natural,
moderate rate of speech
Project your voice.
Speak clearly and
distinctly.
Repeat critical
information.
Pause briefly to give your
audience time to digest
the information on each
new slide.
Dont read the slides
aloud. Your audience can
read them far faster than
you can talk.

Things You Shouldnt Do

Read directly from notes


Read directly from screen
Turn back on audience
Slouch, hands in pockets
No um, ah, you knows
No nervous gestures
Talk too fast,
Talk too quietly

Things You Should Do

Eye contact
Can glance at notes
Appropriate gestures
Rhetorical questions to involve audience

Ten Successful Tips


Control the Butterflies
Know the room- become familiar with
the place of presentation
Know the audience- greet or chat with
the audience before hand. Its easier to
speak to friends than to strangers
Know your material-increased
nervousness is due to unpreparedness

Control the Butterflies


Gain experience-experience builds
confidence, which is key to effective
public speaking

Presentation Design
FOCUS. In general, using a few powerful slides is
the aim.
Dont overload your slides with too much text or
data.
Let the picture or graphic tell the story. Avoid text.
Number your slides and give them a title.
Prepare a company logo slide for your
presentation.
You can add a logo and other graphics to every
slide using the slide master feature.

VISUAL ELEMENT
A font size of 28 to 34 with a bold font is recommended for
subtitles. The title default size is 44. Use a san serif font for
titles.
Use clear, simple visuals. Dont confuse the audience.
Use contrast: light on dark or dark on light.
Graphics should make a key concept clearer.
Place your graphics in a similar location within each screen.
The drawing toolbar is extremely useful You can:

Insert clip art


Insert pictures
Use Word Art
Use text boxes
Insert charts and diagrams
Insert arrows, banners, and thought balloons.

TEXT
Font size must be large enough to be easily read.
Size 28 to 34 with a bold font is recommended.
It is distracting if you use too wide a variety of
fonts.
Overuse of text is a common mistake.
Too much text makes the slide unreadable. You may just
as well show a blank slide. Stick to a few key words.
If your audience is reading the slides they are not paying
attention to you. If possible, make your point with
graphics instead of text.
You can use Word Art, or a clip art image of a sign, to
convey text in a more interesting way.

BACKGROUNDS
Backgrounds should never distract from the
presentation.
Using the default white background is hard on the
viewers eyes. You can easily add a design style or
a color to the background.
Backgrounds that are light colored with dark text,
or vice versa, look good. A dark background with
white font reduces glare.
Colors appear lighter when projected. Pale colors
often appear as white.
Consistent backgrounds add to a professional
appearance.
For a long presentation, you may want to change
background designs when shifting to a new topic.

Timing - Practicing Your


Presentation,
Talk through your presentation to see how much
time you use for each slide.
Set the automatic slide transition to the amount of
time you want to spend discussing each slide.
Change the automatic slide transition settings for
individual slides to fit the amount of time needed
for that slide and practice again. Are you still within
the time limit?

Presentation Skills
The key to effective presentations is
to manage the relationship
between yourself and the audience
so that a good rapport is developed
with them

Presentation Skills
Short sharp paragraphs
Simple words
Repeat key phrases for effect
Repeat key phrases for effect
Avoid catch phrases
Humour
Anecdotes: real-life examples
Rhetorical questions: dont

require answers

using all of the delivery
techniques we have discussed.

Practice takes you from this..

To this.

Pre-Talk Preparation
Plan to get there a few minutes early to set up and
test the equipment.
Dress appropriately for your audience.
Turn off your cell phone.
Handouts:
Edward , the leading expert on visual presentation
techniques, advises speakers to always prepare a handout
when giving a PowerPoint presentation.
Make about 10% more handouts than you expect to use.
Distribute handouts at the beginning of your talk.

Body Language
Dress
Posture
Facial Expression
Voice
Movement
Gesture
Eye Contact

BODY LANGUAGE
Keep your eyes on the audience
Use natural gestures.
Dont turn your back to the audience.
Dont hide behind the lectern.
Avoid looking at your notes. Only use them as
reference points to keep you on track. Talk,
dont read.

QUESTIONS
Always leave time for a few questions at the end of the talk.
If you allow questions during the talk, the presentation time will
be about 25% more than the practice time.
You can jump directly to a slide by typing its number or by rightclicking during the presentation and choosing from the slide
titles.
Relax. If youve done the research you can easily answer most
questions.
Some questions are too specific or personal. Politely refuse to
answer.
If you cant answer a question, say so. Dont apologize. I dont
have that information. Ill try to find out for you.

Preparation at home
When you plan your presentation you need to answer the
following questions:
1. Who is my audience (how much do they know about
my topic?)
2. How am I going to organise my topic? (it needs to tell a
story)
3. How long should my presentation be? (you will have
time limits and you need to say everything within that
limit)
4. What visual support shall I use? (PowerPoint,
transparencies, models, objects...?)

Warm up!
Deep breathing exercises- in for a count of
5, out for a count of 5. In for 6, out for 6,
and so on, up to 10.
Hum! This loosens the vocal chords and
warms them up
Do some tongue twisters. Really try to
articulate the words. Get faster and faster!
Yawn.

Tongue Twisters!

Facing your fears

Possible fears, and how to deal with them:


Forgetting what to say: prepare and use notes or cue cards. If you do forget, take a
deep breath, and dont panic, as youll forget even more!
Speaking in front of people: practice in front of a small audience first. Look just about
the heads of the audience. Sometimes you will be nervous: accept it and carry on

Disruptions, people shouting out or being rude during your presentation: You control the
presentation. If people are being noisy, disruptive, or rude, you have the right to ask
them to leave. If youre unwilling to do this yourself, contact venue security if they are
present.
Getting lost: Allow plenty of time to get to the venue, take a contact number to call if
you get lost, plan out the route beforehand, take a taxi if needed
Questions: not knowing the answer to questions, people asking questions to trip you up:
Prepare for common questions beforehand, if you cant answer straight away, take their
details and get back to them

Some things to avoid.

Powerpoint Karaoke

Poor Powerpoint

The evils of Powerpoint are familiar to everyone, they include:

Too much text


Too small to read and is really only serving as a crutch for the presenter
Clip Art and Slide templates that have been seen a million times
Spinning, wooshing, dazzlings animations

Part of the problem with having so much text onscreen is that it puts of people. If the
idea of your presentation is to read from the slides then we are you there?
Besides people can read quicker than you can talk so theyll have finished
reading your slide and be waiting for the next one, or even worse working on a
masterpience doodle.
Your presentation, Powerpoint or otherwise, should be a supporting aid you want
main the focus on you not your presentation. Ideally, you should be able to
deliver an equally interesting presentation should the
projector/computer/room/audience break.
Avoid too many bullets as well it makes the information dull for the audience.
