1. Getting Organized

Main points

1. Create a profile of your audience.
It’s very important to keep your public in mind when you are creating your presentation.
2. Structure your presentation around 2-3 main points, maximum:
Between your introduction and your conclusion, your main points should be balanced and include good supporting information. Remember: less is more.
3. Go analogue rather than digital
Use a white board, Post-Its®, a pad of paper and a pen or pencil. Just get your ideas down and begin to play with them.
4. Write out your presentation, bearing in mind your objectives, the time you have, what your audience expects from you, etc.

2. Zen Presentation Design-Creating a Powerful PowerPoint

Main points

1. Your PowerPoint should include a combination images with a small amount of text.
2. If you do put text on a slide, it should be very little: things like instructions, quotes, or bullets of main points, or important numbers or statistics
3. Use animation, to feed the information to the audience at the perfect moment.
4. Use a sans serif font (one or two different fonts, maximum 3, in the same presentation).
5. Don’t overdo do it with the colours either.
6. Be careful where you put the text. Make sure the text can be read easily.
7. Use high-quality photos on your slides; and use the whole slide, if possible.
8. Keep your slides simple and clean.

3. Presenting

Main points

Other than practicing as much as possible, there are four presentation areas where I encourage people to focus their attention:

Practice, practice, practice
The three most important things you can do to guarantee that your presentation goes well is practice, practice, practice.
1. Eye contact
If you are presenting in a large room, look around the room and make eye contact with different individuals from time to time, for 2 or 3 seconds. If your presentation is virtual, eye contact means looking at the camera, not the computer screen.
2. Posture
Avoid crossing your arms or putting your hands in your pockets. Try to hold an open posture.
3. Gestures
Avoid using distracting gestures, like flipping your hair, touching your ear over and over, or something similar.
4. Filler words
Get rid of those elements you use to fill in the silent space between words, and which don’t add to the meaning of your presentation.

Three things that I recommend you do to keep your nerves under control when you present:

About a week before your presentation, spend 5-10 minutes, three times per day, visualizing your presentation going very well.

Speaking to yourself in a positive manner about the presentation that you have to give, starting about a week before you present.

Right before you present, take 3 to 6 deep breaths.
