#5 - Effective Powerpoint Presentations

Wednesday, November 5th 2008 @ 11:15 PM

Hello Everyone, welcome to a podcast on some ideas for presenting effective powerpoint presentations!

Although powerpoint is a very easy and flexible presentation tool, it needs to be used with caution if your goal is to communciate your message clearly.

Here are some of the key points I have covered in my podcast:

  • Its all about your message|story - get straight to the point
  • Keep information on each slide to a minimum - recommend using 5/6 words per line
  • Keep the focus of the presentation on you - use blank slides if required 
  • Give your presentation the 'professional arrangement'- 1. use an appealing slide template which has a readable font and size.  2. Carefiul arrangement and thought as to the content in each of your slides will help deliver the message|story to your auidence.

So listeners, what are your views and experiences???

With today's powerpoint capabilities, don't just stick to slides, put video on them.  It can be much more effective seeing a 10 second video clip than a few static words on the screen.

Jerry's point about video is a good suggestion.

I would choose pictures to convey the message or point of the slide you are showing
