Background

Public speaking can be nerve-wracking

Presentation skills are necessary for life

How you present is as important as what you present

The nature and delivery of a presentation add intangibles that text cannot create

Effective Presenters…

Maximize their time with important info, not fluff

Challenge the audience to think, not just listen

Ask rhetorical questions in order to get the audience involved on their own level

Stay on track

Prepare in advance

Intrinsic Confidence

Self confidence

Comes from expertise and knowledge

Is acquired over time

Source of internal reassurance

Extrinsic Confidence

How you project yourself to others

How do people react when you present?

Intrinsic and extrinsic should be equal

Remember…

Intro > body > summary

Know your subject

Know your audience

Know your limits

Believe the importance of your subject

Its Powerpoint, not Powerparagraph

Remember…

Prepare a storyboard, not an essay

Realize that facts don’t always speak for themselves

Move!

Share stories that plant pictures with the audience

Rehearse

No small fonts or unnecessary effects
