Notes de l'éditeur
- Attention span is about 5-10 min for a given topicYou are competing against facebook
- They are annoying as hell
- Think about all the questions that might come up, and have content ready for them
- Creates strain as the eye traverses across a line of text and has to adjust to different contrasts
- Avoid stock templates, clipartRedundancy is boringUse art which matches the style of the slides
- They can break up the flowPeople want you to get to the point!
- Practice over. And over. And over. And over… And over.
- Get there earlyAcclimate to the environment (which will make you more comfortable)Get familiar with all the video/audio hook upsMingle with the audience
- "Avoid eye charts" is almost cliché (but they still do it!)Fonts may be too small for larger roomsLaser pointers might not be visible
- Let people know who you areEstablish the right amount of credibility (why should people listen to you)Under sell, over perform
- Talk about something related.Type your thoughts in the notes field first.
- People have been remembering stories for centuriesImages can help solidify the story
- Use pre-recorded videosVideo editing lets you skip past the slow parts (such as typing)Videos are a great time for water breaksFailed demos can kill your presentation
- Monotone speech is good for sleeping (or hypnotizing)Excitement = interest
- Stay in front of the podiumEngage!Don't put your hands in your pocketsSet a laptop in the front row with the presentation so you don't have to turn around
- Talk at their levelUse analogiesCreate a relationshipHelp them understandAnchor them down (with stories!)
- Humor is essential, but obvious jokes have the opposite effectJokes should be in passing/side comments
- Don’t talk too fast, but keep a good paceTry to calm downExercise before hand to remove some excess energy
