Tips
PART I
Find some alone time.
It takes time
Find the time
• Real purpose / core
• Why asked to prepare
• What audience expect
Know your audience
Visualize the flowSet them up in logical fashion
Outline and structure your ideas
Solid Content
• Necessary but not sufficient
• No data dump• Idea of simplicity
Ask yourself ….
‘So What ?’
• Is point relevant• Does it help build up the
story
Inclusions and exclusions
……make a choice about what’s important, and let go of all the rest
PART II
Simplicity | Clarity | Uncluttered
Design is soul deep
Its not about superficial decoration
1-7-7 Rule!
1 concept per slide
7 lines of text per slide
7 words per line
BUT not in every slide…!!Limit bullet points and text. Whitespace is good
• Have a visual theme
• Use your fonts and colors well
Its all about
Simplicity

Part III
An opportunity to connect
Its not only the logic part of the content
Need
emotion
[Presentations] are a balance of three
rhetorical proofs :
ethos (ethical), pathos (emotional), and
logos (logical). -Aristotle
Show your
Passion
enthusiasm
Being in the
moment
Do not read your presentation.
Detailed slide means audience will get to know what you’ll be speaking before-hand
Move away from the
podium
Use a remote control device.
Smallest one
At all times

PowerPoint is not a presentationIt’s just a tool
You are the presentation
The art of storytelling.
Illustrates points with use of stories, often
personal ones

• Engaging content in the middle
• Clear, logical conclusion
