Welcome to our session,
Lets go and have some fun
SO, WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
We talk about making CONNECTIONS and keeping peoples ATTENTION
LISTENING, giving EXAMPLES to build a CONNECTION
And finally how PowerPoint can SUPPORT your message as a VISUAL AID.
Point at each other ! He’s the expert.
Key message you want people to remember
In the first moment someone enters the room you capture there attention or lost them already.
What ever you do and your not creative at all. Please do yourself a favour, Don’t use any of the so called free business templates.
You’re responsible for what you say not for what others understand.
So what I want you guys to REMEMBER, is that if the message is SIMPLE it STICKS!!!!
Stories are a vehicle to get your message across.
By giving examples of how you did something or what you’ve done it will make people REMEMBER.
Tell a little story!
Get them ENGAGED, EMOTIONAL will be REMEMBERED
The question can be a topic of the theme in your presentation.
A question which is on everybody's mind but not spoken at loud.
By visualizing it big on a screen you throw it out in the open the attention is focused.
This is the start of your story.
If someone confronts you with a question or you want to make a situation clear.
You LISTEN carefully and make the connection with your audience.
Briefly summarize some of the issues and express you understand the importance.
Add this point your conversation partner knows you understand him more than ever.
They are not alone in it anymore as they found someone who relates to the problem as they do.
Here you shake them awake, You say you understand them and it’s an awful situation.
It’s not going to be a walk in the park, considering that MASIVE AMOUNT OF………..
Use strong words.
Now the rescue starts
Presentations come in nearly as many forms as there are life situations. In the business world, there are sales presentations, informational and motivational presentations, first encounters, interviews, briefings, status reports, image-building "dog and pony shows," and, of course, the inevitable training sessions.
Don’t over complicate your slides
Clean it up
Let it breath
Most people read from left to right, loose the numbers if they have no function.
Let things stand out that need to stand out.
Why companies want you to use less slides and stuff them.
Spread your message and let it breath. Give your audience some air.
If you have sentences on your slides and you speak at the same time or even if you give them the opportunity to read.
The chance that they remember 1 second after is ZERO!
Now we know, Less stuff is better to focus.
QUESTION
Big corporations decided less slides is good, so people start to fill as few slides possible with loads of stuff! Why? WRONG
It’s not the amount of slides it’s the messages on those slides!
Does this make Sense or that make Sense!
We humans will focus only at four things
I got news for all of us and no matter what they say to make us feel better it’s a fact. SIZE MATTERS!!!
Find the right image to support your message
Use Google or Bing and add the word wallpaper in your search.
Don’t forget you can crop the image and just use a little peace. Like that great picture with your Ex on it. Just cut it off.
Contrast of a colored or dark background with letters stand out in front of your image.
Why is it that on most templates headers are always BIG and COLORFUL as it’s not the key message?
