like to add and share them
when the speaker has finished.
• Leave for only an emergency
10. Presenting as a Cohesive Team
Avoid Do
• Talking too softly and having
low energy
• Doing something other than
watching the presenter
• Disagreeing with each other in
front of the audience.
• Being inconsistent and/or
studying notes in front of the
audience.
• Enunciation warm-ups,
relaxation techniques, and
self-talk (try it as a team!).
• Take notes to help channel
your attention.
• Make needed corrections
politely—debrief later.
• Plan and rehearse with the
team in advance—use slides as
a tool for memory.
11. Presenting as a Cohesive Team
Introductions and Passing the Baton
• Even your audience knows you, introduce each
team member and give some context for why
each member is involved in this presentation.
• Transition between presenters by reintroducing
that person and reminding the audience (or
expanding on) the presenter’s area of expertise.
12. Presenting as a Cohesive Team
Sitting on the Bench
• During every
moment of the
presentation, non-speaking
team
members should
support the speaker
with their
attention—even
though they’ve heard
it all before.
13. Call to Action
• Make sure there is an energetic call to action at
the end of your presentation.
• Your audience should know your presentation is
over – no doubt.
15. Presentation Options
Which one should you choose?
• PowerPoint – Linear and Traditional
• Prezi and iPresent – Non-linear and Innovative
Know Your Audience!
16. Slide Show Do’s and Don’t’s
Do Don’t
• Write out your presentation first
and THEN decide which points
should be slides.
• Keep it simple. Use consistent
fonts that are easy to read.
• Use vibrant, consistent design.
• Use noises to emphasize a point
or complement your message.
• Use meaningful graphs and
charts
• Use slides as notes – the
audience came to hear you, not
an email you could’ve sent.
• Don’t use every font, picture,
and special effect available
• Too plain or too much variety.
• Too many noise effects can
distract from your message.
• Too many busy, meaningless
graphs and charts (back up
slides?)
17. Slide Show Do’s and Don’t’s
Do Don’t
• Augment simple slides or
graphics with stories, spoken
examples, and discussion.
• Distribute handouts/slides at
the end.
• Revise ruthlessly with your
audience in mind.
• Repeat what’s on screen and
not add the human touch.
• Pass out papers before or
during (visual trumps audio!)
• Leave in content just because
or to fill time (i.e. Anchorman)
