Do's And Do Not's

This quick post is a reminder of good presentation techniques to get through your presentation and leave a lasting impact.


Good

• Keep it simple: Do not crowd the presentation with unnecessary clutter.
• Keep it clear: Do not ramble off track keep it relevant.
• Write notes to refer to: Small notes to remind you what to say not too long.
• Calculate how much time you have: Work out how much time to spend on each slide.
• Use a stopwatch: time yourself keep it as short and effective as possible.
• Rehearse: Make sure you know what to do going in.

Bad

• Too much, Illegible text: Do not populate your work with lots of text keep it short and sweet.
• Overuse of complex diagrams: Allow use of simple diagrams that are easy to follow.
• Reading from your notes: Glance at them to remind you what to say. It is not a script.
