13. Try not to “prove it” within your slide content
Just say that. Your audience will typically
believe you

14. Try to make one key point per slide
Page 24
http://www.m4bmarketing.com
If your slide makes no point at all – delete it
15. Set your stall out early
Page 25
What you are going to cover?
Audience appreciation
Keep referring back to initial
agenda
16. Consider getting outside help
Page 26
www.article10.com
stuffyoualreadyknow.com
Professional writer or presentation expert
Totally new perspective on your presentation
17. Engage the audience at the start
Page 27
www.sgsolutionsllc.com
Tell a story; challenge with a question
18. Use examples and personal anecdotes to add credibility
Page 28
melissagalt.com
19. Involve the audience
Use PowerPoint only where it will add value. Use audio/visuals
Page 29
www.presentationteam.com
20. Know your audience
Page 30
www.readytalk.com
21. Be positive
Page 31
www.personalitytutor.com
Projection is perception
www.deeptrancenow.com
23. Keep it short
Say everything that needs to be said in as few words as possible
Page 32
listcrux.com
24. Turn off the projector
The presentation slide is desperately trying to
steal your thunder and reducing your role
to that of a voice over.
Use a blank screen to re-keep all eyes on you.

25. You need to be yourself
Page 34
www.imgion.com
26. Don’t spend too long worrying about voice and hand gestures
These can make a difference, but there are
other changes to your overall presentation you
can make that will have a much bigger impact.

27. Practise, practise, practise
If you don’t practise, the first time you deliver your presentation out loud will be in front of a room full of people

Answer the question of the attendees: what’s in it for me?
31. Slides don’t make good handouts
Even good slides will have very little meaning without you
Slides are to support the message, not the
presenter.

31. Slides don’t make good handouts (cont.)
Yet without handouts most of your message is likely to be forgotten sooner or later
So use handouts wisely
