ENG 412 Effective Presentations

2  Identify your purpose.  Decide what you want your audience to believe, remember, or do when you finish.  Aim all parts of your talk toward your purpose. Preparing an Oral Presentation

3  Organize the introduction.  Get the audience involved.  Capture attention by opening with a promise, story, interesting fact, question, quotation or relevant problem.  Establish your credibility by identifying who you are and your background.  Introduce your topic.  Preview the main points. Preparing an Oral Presentation

4  Organize the body of your presentation.  Develop two to four main points. Streamline your topic and summarize its principal parts.  Arrange the points logically: chronologically, from most important to least, by comparison and contrast, or by some other strategy.  Prepare transitions. Use "bridge" statements between major points. (I've just discussed three reasons for X; now I want to move to Y.) Use verbal signposts: however, for example, etc. Preparing an Oral Presentation

5  Organize the body of your presentation.  Have extra material ready. Be prepared with more information and visuals if needed.  Organize the conclusion.  Review your main points.  Provide a final focus. Tell how listeners can use this information, why you have spoken, or what you want them to do. Preparing an Oral Presentation

 A Promise  “By the end of my talk, you will....”  Drama  Tell a moving story; describe a problem.  Eye contact  Command attention by making eye contact with as many people as possible. Nine Techniques for Getting Your Audience’s Attention

 Movement  Leave the lectern area. Move toward the audience.  A question  Ask for a show of hands. Use a rhetorical question.  A demonstration  Include a member of the audience. Nine Techniques for Getting Your Audience’s Attention

 Samples, prizes  Award prizes to volunteer participants; pass out samples.  Visuals  Use graphics and other visual aids.  Appeal to the audience’s self-interest  Audience members want to know, “What's in it for me?” Nine Techniques for Getting Your Audience’s Attention

10  Highlight main ideas.  Focus on major concepts only.  Don’t use too many. Showing too many graphics reduces their effectiveness.  Keep all visuals simple. Designing and Using Graphics

11  Ensure visibility.  Use large type for transparencies and slides.  Be sure all audience members can see.  Enhance comprehension.  Give the audience a moment to study a visual before discussing it.  Paraphrase its verbal message; don't read it. Designing and Using Graphics

12  Practice using your visual aids.  Rehearse your talk, perfecting your handling of the visual aids.  Talk to your audience and not to the visual aid. Designing and Using Graphics

13  Getting distracted just before you speak.  Being dull. Relying on only one or two illustrations to make your points.  Not repeating your main point often enough.  Not answering the audience's most pressing question: “What's in it for me?” Eight Serious Presentation Mistakes

14  Failing to use signal phrases to focus on main points.  Neglecting to time your presentation and practice it “out loud.”  Forgetting to check your visual aids for readability.  Answering hypothetical questions after your presentation. Eight Serious Presentation Mistakes

Using Bullet Points  Remember the principle of parallelism.  Example: Attacking the market is a good idea. We also need to simplify the product line. It would be a good idea to cut prices.

Bullet Points Starting With Verbs  Attack the market.  Simplify the product line.  Cut prices.

Bullet Points Starting With Adjectives  Larger market.  Simplified products.  Reduced prices.

Bullet Points Starting With Nouns  Market attack.  Simplification of product line.  Price reduction.
