31. IAAP Convention Washington, DC, 2004 TRIAD Consulting, LLC © All Rights Reserved, 2004 Notes Created for the speakers’ use Only the speaker should see them during a presentation Available to other speakers showing the same presentation, but were never intended to be seen by the audience Ideally, Notes contain all of information a speaker needs for a dynamic presentation Notes may contain: the full script of the presentation detailed supporting information anecdotes presentation hints and cues May be included in handouts for the audience to read after the presentation

32. IAAP Convention Washington, DC, 2004 TRIAD Consulting, LLC © All Rights Reserved, 2004 Handouts Created for the audience’s use May contain: –detailed information for the audience to read after the presentation –An outline of the presentation with suggestions for further reading Should never duplicate or interfere with the delivery of the presentation

33. IAAP Convention Washington, DC, 2004 TRIAD Consulting, LLC © All Rights Reserved, 2004 Slides Visual media: created to visually enhance the audience’s experience Are audience support, not speaker support Should never be used as a speaker’s crutch (or teleprompter) Should contain little or no text on slides Words may appear on a slide, but should never be presented or experienced as written text If slides contain enough information to be self explanatory, they should be presented without a speaker (Kiosk, CD or Web)

34. IAAP Convention Washington, DC, 2004 TRIAD Consulting, LLC © All Rights Reserved, 2004 Presenter A presenter’s job is to present – not to read slides If the audience is reading text on slides or handouts, they are not listening to the presenter Communal reading of prepared text is neither an effective method of communication nor an effective teaching tool

35. IAAP Convention Washington, DC, 2004 TRIAD Consulting, LLC © All Rights Reserved, 2004 Audience The audience is the only reason for a presentation to exist Every aspect of a presentation must be created with the audience foremost in mind –What concerns or needs do they have? –How will this information (product) address these needs? –What presentation style will be most effective for these people? –How will you engage the audience in the conversation?
