Killer Mistake # 1:

Facts, Facts, Facts!

Page 4: Common presentation mistakes

Mistake:

Include lots of facts in your presentations.

The more facts you have, the smarter you seem and

the more persuasive you will be.

Page 5: Common presentation mistakes

Truth is…

facts are boring and bland.

If you simply spit out numbers instead of showing your audience how those statistics impact them,

you will drown your audience in sea of numbers.

Killer Mistake # 2:

Always use Powerpoint

Page 7: Common presentation mistakes

Mistake:

When people think of a presentation, the first thing that usually comes to mind

is Powerpoint!

Page 8: Common presentation mistakes

Truth is…

You don’t always have to use Powerpoint.

You should use Powerpoint only if you have graphs, charts and pictures to show your audience.

Powerpoint should be an aid…not your entire

presentation!

Killer Mistake # 3

Using complicated, technical words

Page 10: Common presentation mistakes

Mistake:

Use lots of complicated jargon…because It makes

you sound smarter.

Page 11: Common presentation mistakes

Truth is… using complicated jargon may make you

sound smarter, but it will isolate your audience.

If your audience doesn’t understand what you’re saying, then your presentation is a

complete failure…

Aim for a conversational style of speaking which explains ideas in the clearest, easiest-

to-understand way.
