In fact you are working on one right

now...

You do presentations.










1/3& you have barely

enough time.It’s due tomorrow










Say you meet me. I’m Matteo by the

way...










1/3I’m part visionary

entrepreneur and part presentation freak.










I have just 10 minutes.

I’m also out of time










In just 10 minutes together, these are the 10 most useful presentation tips I

would give you. Let’s start!










1. Know your audience










If you have the time to do one thing, then

devote all of it to knowing your

audience.










Put yourself in their shoes, imagine what they would want to get from your presentation.










Think about ways to simplify the

relationship between your audience and

your material.










Over the course of this presentation every tip will come with an example related to exactly this presentation.










Example

“My audience is composed by people that - for their work - need to

make presentations”










For the next tips imagine that you step

on the stage...










2. Tell your audience who you are










Make sure that everyone in the room has understood your name, but also that they are also able to describe who you are.










Example“Hello, I'm Matteo,

visionary innovator and entrepreneur”










3. Tell your audience why you are there










Explain your motivation for

presenting, let your unique knowledge and

perspective show.










Help your audience understand how passionate you are about what you are going to talk about.










...will mean a lot to your

audience too.

If you care, chances are your presentation...










Example“Why am I here? Well, I’m

a bit of a presentation freak...”










4. Tell your audience why they are there










Within the first minutes of your presentation provide your audience with a sample of the advantage they will gain by following your presentation till the end.










Show them what they will gain from your presentation and,

more importantly, how it will change them.










Example

“I bet you have found already something

actionable among my tips.

Well done!”










5. Develop a story based on the transformation you wish to happen in

your audience










Your presentation should elicit a change

in the way they see, feel or relate to your

topic.










If you are not eliciting a change, then you are not providing enough content.










Nochange

No presentation

=










Example

“You are going to get much better at making

presentations. Starting now!”










6. Everyone reacts differently










Every individual in your audience will

react in a unique manner.

And that’s totally fine!










Some will just understand, many will reject your ideas, some will be confused, some will look for the the tweetable content, others will be all over your data & research.










...at the same time

Don’t try to please everyone...










Example

“Not everybody likes lists. These 10 tips are

ment for the pragmatists among you”










7. Clearly mark the moment you deliver your most important concept










I’m talking about a climax










Imagine the climax as the summit, the peak, the high point of your narrative, the moment you deliver the most insight, the one concept that is most transformative.










This is the moment where your audience understands that they have arrived at the core of your idea.










It’s all down hill from that moment on...










Your audience knows that this marks also the beginning of the end of the presentation.










Don't disappoint your audience by remaining on stage too long after

your main climax.










Example

“Let’s check the fuel. We are at tip # 7. Do you

already feel like opening PowerPoint and fixing your presentation?”










8. Provide a summary of what you have covered










Towards the end of your presentation

provide a summary, a birds eye view of what

you have covered.










This will help your audience understand your material & aid them in making sense & remembering it.










Example“We climbed the climax

and are getting ready for a smooth landing”










9. Provide actionable to do’s










Let your wisdom show through something actionable, that your audience can apply to their every day life.










This is your gift to them!










You're allowed to end on a call to action, a

hope, a wish, a word of wisdom.

Make it quick though.










Example

“You can apply most of these tips to your presentation, even if your presentation is tomorrow”










Last but not least...










10. Be comfortable with your material










Make sure you feel comfortable with your material. If you aren’t

it will show and no trick will save you.










Presentations shed a spotlight on you and your abilities. Make sure you are ready.










Structure, design, delivery are good

skills. Being knowledgeable about the topic is essential.










Know your stuff.










Or go back to your desk & learn, learn, learn, learn,

learn, learn...










Example“I truly am a

presentation freak.Does it show?”










Tosummarize










1. Know your audience 2. Tell your audience who you are 3. Tell them why you’re there4. Tell them why they are there










5. Transform your audience 6. Everyone reacts differently7. Mark your most important concept










8. Provide a summary 9. Provide actionable to do’s 10. Know your material
