How long do you spend preparing your powerpoint slides ? How long do you prepare your speech ?
Now on which of the two tasks should you spend the longest time ?







The above example is what kills a presentation. Do you go to a conference or presentation to read,
or watch the presenter reading the slides ? That seems familiar but that happens so often. That can
be understood, speakers reading slides simply lack confidence in public speaking, they fear public speaking.

Abstracts of the e-Book "Effective Public Speaking – Power Point Power"

apply the principles to the design of your power point slides and the preparation of your oral preparation.
The second part covers the design of your powerpoint and the preparation of your speech. The third part
of the e-book covers the actual presentation on the day itself.


page 10. How to connect with different types of people ?

As you know everyone is different. Some people are more attentive to visual communication, some people
are auditory and some are kinaesthetic. You must speak to the three kind of people... Visual people give
more attention to sentences such as : "do you see what I mean", "how this would look like if". In the same
way, auditory people will love to hear your explanation but also give more attention when you say sentences
such as "can you hear what I mean", "I will repeat that again to you". Kinaesthetic people will need to feel
what is being said. You should say sentences such as "how would you feel for moving to the next topic",
"Which part of that process would be the toughest".

Look around yourself, your friends, your work colleagues. What type of people do you think they are :
visual, auditory, kinaesthetic ? What type of sentences do they often use ? "I see what you mean",
"I hear what you mean", "I feel in agreement with what you mean". Remember that different points of
view may simply come from the fact that we perceive differently our own environment. We tend to represent
and perceive the reality in our own way. A wife may get upset if her husband only keeps repeating
that he loves her but never demonstrates to her like offering flowers. The man may be more auditory while
the woman may be more visual. When a man and woman seduce themselves at the beginning of a
relationship, they tend to use naturally all three ways of communication. The same principle shall apply when
presenting...

page 19. The SmartArt shapes in Power Point :

Now that you know how to use images to convey emotions, you may also use PowerPoint pre-defined visuals when you need to structure your ideas.

You can convert text into a SmartArt graphic in one click (type your text on the slide > ribbon Home > click convert into SmartArt graph).

Remember this when we will cover how to build your ppt presentation from a word document.

page 42. Delivering the oral presentation

...Remember that you have been writing either an example, a question, a story or a joke for each of your
slide. That is part of your oral sketch. Transition is also part of your presentation. Guide the audience. It is
important to show the audience that you know where you are going. Use transitions : "we have covered the
subject A, we will move now to the subject B". Structure verbally your presentation. It will help the audience
understand how the presentation moves. Next time that you look at a TV documentary, pay attention to the
transition. You will notice that they are also built to keep the audience attention, to make the audience stay on
that program and not to zap...
