Here are some great tips for doing a presentation. This is a summary from an excellent WSG Meeting Podcast from last year , Presentation Mind Control by Paul Fenwick (29-June-2006).
- Use pictures.
- Better yet, use multimedia–audio, video, animation, etc.
- Make it emotional.
- Use anticipation–provide a challenge, a few proposals, then lastly a solution.
- Move around; don’t stand still.
- Perform live examples–beware of technical mishaps.
- Practice your presentation.
- Time your presentation (to stay within your limit).
- Do a Q & A–admit it if you don’t know answer–ask the audience.
