How often has attended a presentation where he was a great attention in the design of the slides – and apparently none in use? Or he was playing with the slides as if to entertain rather than build? Such idiosyncratic presentation techniques have helped lead to the libelous phrase “death by PowerPoint.” PowerPoint and other visual aids can improve the presentation, if used properly. And at the expense of significantly if used incorrectly. It is normal for everyone to have their individual style for using slides. Such individuality often adds to the effectiveness of the presentation, however the damage excessive individuality clarity and understanding, putting at risk the efficiency. Fortunately, this problem can be solved easily. By recognizing and applying three fundamental principles of the slideshow, you can make “death by PowerPoint” completely disappear. Fundamental Principles of presentations 1. Use the slides, not being controlled by them It is important to recognize that the slides are a visual aid. And the most important part of this word is “help.” Too many speakers seem to believe that if they show enough slides, your presentation will automatically be successful. The opposite is true. No matter how good the slides, assuming center stage, the presentation is almost certainly less effective than it could be. 2. Demonstrate that you are in charge Note that the greatest visual aid is YOU. People come to hear what he has to say because I think it has something important to communicate to them. So you want to see, hear his voice and see their facial expressions and body movements observed in order to better understand and evaluate their ideas and information. If you start your presentation by immediately turning off the lights and keep them until you have completed the presentation is almost as if you are not there. It would be easier and more convenient for everyone just to send the presentation to the audience as a videotape or DVD that can play at your leisure. 3. Present a “win-win” situation To be truly effective, it must slide: • Help the speaker give a better presentation • Help the audience better understand the presentation This is not one of / o. The speaker and audience should enjoy, otherwise no one. This means you must give a good presentation, both in terms of content and slides. In general, it’sa good idea to write the first draft of your presentation without any slides, and then return to your text to see the slides that are really needed. This will ensure that does not drown in the slides to the audience – and that each slide is really useful. If you take these three fundamental principles fully on board, is already on its way to an effective presentation. Here are some practical suggestions to make your presentation intrinsically good, even better. A. Use the accumulation of slides Do an experiment. Open a newspaper or magazine to any page. To continue searching, but try not to read anything on the page. It is virtually impossible. When the eye is confronted with the text, there is a natural desire to read it. Putting too much text on a slide that has the same effect. He can expect the audience to pay attention only to the spoken text and ignore the rest. In fact, while he is talking about the text at the top, the audience will almost certainly be reading the text below. The result is a significant loss of attention. Which ensures a better understanding of attention, using text-heavy slides is detrimental to the speakers and listeners alike. To maintain attention, introduce text gradually, not all at once. In the days of 35mm and slides, this was achieved through the use of “the accumulation of slides.” For example, instead of showing only five points on a slide, he produced six parts. The first slide showed only the title, and the rest of the screen was blank. The next showed one more bullet point 1 of the title, the rest of the screen was blank. The next slide showed the title and sections 1 and 2. The same was done for each slide. Only in the last slide that the full text (general statement + points) became visible. Producing six slides was of course much more expensive than the production of just one. But it was considerably more effective. |
