You can be presenting in as fancy a Phuket conference venue<\/a> as you care to name, with all of the modern facilities you can imagine, but the core of any presentation is still the PowerPoint presentation. And yet, as important a place as it holds in the whole process, just the name is synonymous with boredom. The reason is simple – it takes a surprising amount of skill and experience to make a presentation that actually engages and entertains its audience. To help you avoid putting people to sleep next time you\u2019re on stage, here are a few tips for preparing better PowerPoint presentations.<\/p>
\n\n\n\n

Start\nwith a script<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\nyou have to say is a lot more important than what you have to display. Instead\nof focussing on your slides first and then trying to talk people through the\nmess of data, start by figuring out what you want to say and how you want to\nsay it. What is your core message? How can you explain it in a clear and\nmemorable way? Got that sorted? Right – now you can start thinking about how\nyou might be able to illustrate it using slides.<\/p>
\n\n\n\n

\"PowerPoint<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Your\nslide isn\u2019t your script<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To\nbe blunt for a moment, people who claim to be good at multi-tasking are liars.\nThe human mind simply doesn\u2019t work like that. So, people who are busy reading\nyour slide aren\u2019t listening to what you\u2019re saying. Ideally, your slides should\nbe as light on text as possible. One of the more common errors people make\nbefore stepping up on stage at their Phuket conference venue of choice is\nputting every word they mean to say on the slide. If you do that, you might\njust as well hand your audience a pamphlet and save yourself the public\nspeaking.<\/p>
\n\n\n\n

One\nslide, one point<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If\nyou try to put too much onto one slide, one of two things will happen. Either\nit\u2019ll be such a mess that it\u2019ll be impossible to tell what\u2019s the takeaway\nmessage is or the details will be so small that only the people in the front\nrows of your Phuket conference venue will learn anything from them. It\u2019s better\nto have a deck of 100 slides that people can actually take something away from\nthan three slides that leave people more confused.<\/p>
\n\n\n\n

\"presentation<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t\nget carried away<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once\nyou start exploring the features available on PowerPoint, you might be tempted\nto start playing around with the flashy transitions and effects. While these\ncan certainly be used effectively, they can also be an unnecessary distraction.\nThe fancy effects should never take away from the clarity of the message.\nInstead, focus on the design of each slide. Keep it simple, uncluttered and\neasy to read.<\/p>
\n\n\n\n

Practise<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before\nyou get up on stage at your Phuket conference venue, have a couple of practise\nruns through what you\u2019re going to say. Firstly, it\u2019ll give you a chance to spot\nany glaring problems and errors with the slides and gives you a chance to\nreorder or redesign any slides that aren\u2019t properly illustrating your point.\nMore importantly, it\u2019ll give you a bit of confidence in what you\u2019re saying and\nwill reduce the umm-ing and ahh-ing.<\/p>
