John blogs ...
A little list for us to think about to enhance some of the presentations which we will be sharing with each other when we next meet.
1) A confident start and finish with big smile and plenty of eye-contact. Try and pull everyone in the audience into your world. Practice in front of a mirror or a supportive friend.
2) A picture is worth a thousand words ...
3) The presentation is both a prompt for the presenter, and an additional point of interest for the viewer
4) Keep to common fonts sizes and keep animation effects to a minimum unless requiring high impact
5) Don't read from a script - add reminder phrases onto your slide, or have bullet-pointed cue cards.
6) I've found that a font size of 20 is about the smallest that can be read.
7) People love a laugh (and so warm to the presenter) - so an amusing anecdote, photo, cartoon to illustrate a point can be strategically placed in the presentation.
8) Don't read verbatim from the slide.
Enjoy :-)
