TIPS
FOR YOUR PRESENTATION STYLE & POWERPOINT SLIDES

3. Timing 5 minute minimum 7 minute maximum 3-4 minutes for questions
You will need to practice to perfect your time management!

4. Appropriate Dress

5. No inappropriate Laughter
This is a nervous thing
Control it!
Or you will lose credibility with your audience

6. No extra fidgeting This is a nerves thing too! No kicking No pacing
No inappropriate movement
It’s distracting!
Be comfortable, use your hands as necessary, take a few steps here and there
But don’t overdue it!

7. No mumbling
If you practice and know your stuff
This will not happen

8. DON’T READ YOUR SLIDES PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE
YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO SAY FOR EACH SLIDE
NOT MEMORIZED, NECESSARILY, BUT THE GENERAL IDEA
CAN LOOK FOR NUMBERS!
READING YOUR SLIDES WILL CAUSE YOU TO LOSE CREDIBILITY!

9. Use all your slide It’s really annoying when text is too small
Or images are too small
Or there is to much white space

10. WATCH IMAGE QUALITY

11. LEGIBLE FONT SIZE AND COLOR
THIS IS HARD TO READ
This is hard to read
THIS IS TOO SMALL
THIS IS TOO BIG

12. TOO MUCH TEXT Will overwhelm and bore your audience
Be concise and focused
Don’t use complete sentences
Don’t write down everything you will say
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure.
We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives, that that nation might live.
It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate – we can not hallow – this ground.
The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract.
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
