Plan
to rehearse your presentation out
loud at least 4 times.
Make sure that one of your rehearsals is
in front of a really scary audience family, friends, partners, colleagues,
children.
-They will tell you quite plainly where you are going
wrong - as well as providing you with the support
that you need.

24. 3. The Rule of Three
The audience are likely
to remember only three
things from your
presentation
plan in advance what these
will be.
24

25. The Rule of Three
There
are three parts to your
presentation
◦ The beginning, the middle and the end.
Use
lists of three wherever you can in
your presentation
In Presentations "Less is More"
◦ If you have four points to get across - cut one
out.
25

26. Lose the Fear: Get out there and
speak.
26

27. Presentation Hints and Tips
Start with a quotation.
 Write it down

◦
Write down your speech, but
try not to read from it. If you
have written it down - if you
dry up, you will be able to
pick it back up again.
27

28. Background – Bad
Avoid
backgrounds that are distracting or
difficult to read from
Always be consistent with the
background that you use

29. Dress professionally.
Even if you always wear jeans, you'll
want to "dress up" for your presentation.
You'll send several messages to your
audience when you do - - I cared enough
about this presentation to dress up, I'm successful (and
we all know that success breeds success), and finally,
I'm a serious professional.

Do not allow your clothes to "get in
the way". Be sure that your audience
doesn't spend the first ten minutes
of your presentation focused on your
Bugs Bunny tie, or wonder why
you're wearing lipstick the color of
"chopped liver".

30. The Body
Your body communicates
different impressions to the
audience. People not only listen to
you, they also watch you. On the other hand,
displaying good posture tells your audience
that you know what you are doing and you care
deeply about it. Also, a good posture helps you to
speak more clearly and effective.
30

31. The Body
Throughout you presentation, display:
 Eye contact: This helps to regulate the flow of
communication.
 Facial
Expressions: Smiling is a powerful cue that
transmits happiness, friendliness, warmth, and liking.
So, if you smile frequently you will be perceived as
more likable, friendly,
warm, and
approachable.
31

32. The Body
Gestures:
If you fail to
gesture while speaking,
you may be perceived
as boring and stiff. A lively speaking style
captures attention, makes the material more
interesting, and facilitates understanding.
Voice. One of the major criticisms of speakers is
that they speak in a monotone voice. Listeners
perceive this type of speaker as boring and dull.
People report that they learn less and lose
interest more quickly when listening to those
who have not learned to modulate their voices.

33. Incorporate Humor in your
Presentation
Appropriate humor
relaxes an audience
and makes it feel more
comfortable with you
as the speaker.

34. Conclusion
Use
an effective and strong closing
◦ Your audience is likely to remember your last
words
Use
a conclusion slide to:
◦ Summarize the main points of your
presentation
◦ Suggest future avenues of research

35. Questions??
End
your presentation with a simple
question slide to:
◦ Invite your audience to ask questions
◦ Provide a visual aid during question period
◦ Avoid ending a presentation abruptly

Find a "Hook" for your next presentation
