FREEPRESENTATION
TIPSBy presentation coach and speaker Sylvie Verleye
You are about to discover my golden presentation rules to make your next presentation an unforgettable experience for you and your audience…
Connect with your audience
TALK WITH THEM… NOT TO THEMThe distance between you and the audience is of utmost importance
To really connect with the audience you need to stand close to them because it feels
like you bond with them.
YOU have the lead, not the slides YOU are in controle, not the slideshow
So MEMORIZE the order of your slides!
OBSERVE the MASTER
He introduces the slide and clicks instead of clicking and then commenting the slide.
You have a big screen, make it
BIG
A picture works best when it covers most of the slide
Put a message ON the picture in a minimum font 20
Most slides that I see are ‘decorated’ slides With the ever so (not) important bullet points Where text is the basis of the slide And the picture works as nice extra Sometimes it is not even a nice picture but clipart Please don’t do that When you have slides like these your audience is reading And chances are that your font will become smaller And smaller And smaller As you cannot get everything on the slide Please don’t do that
The bigger the audience, the bigger the font
Never ever send your slides, only show them during a presentation
Slide during presentation Send the notes afterwards
Make this document when the slides are ready. Press ‘file’ ‘save and send’ ‘create handouts in word’ choose ‘notes below slides’ and your PowerPoint will be transferred to a word document looking like this. All you have to do is type your text which is meant for the audience.
Come to think of it….do you really need slides
We do not get our great ideas from the laptop - JOHN CLEESE‘

Before you start designing slides
BCheck this out…press B (or Z) twice on your keyboard when you are in a slideshow and see what happens. You may just decide to use that black screen throughout your presentation…
Don’t freak out, just step out of your comfort zone and give it a try!
