10 Don’ts Your Presentation Can Do Without — Presentation Transcript

Flickr | by andrewrennie ’DON TS yourpresentationcan DO without

Don’t ImposeTo sell harder, you speak softer.Use plenty of suggestive words. Flickr | by maxw

Don’t MimicKeep up with the times. But imitateevery fad, and your audience willrealize that there’s no insight fromyour end. No real contribution. Flickr | by evilpeacock

Don’t Grovel Never plead. Instead, reason with your audience. Demand their attention, subtly.Flickr | by Royal Olive

Flickr | by Beni Ishaque Luthor Don’t Waver Take a side and stand by it. Use reassuringadjectives. Sound neutral and you could come off as unconfident. Or worse, boring!

Don’t Lie You’d be surprised, how much statistics are “calculated.” Your projections today, could influence a major decision tomorrow. Keep it real.Flickr | by fi_chince

Don’t GripeEven if you have to make analarming point, don’t complain.Reason. Avoid using negativeadjectives. “You’re not goodenough” is better than“You suck!” Flickr | by sergis blog

Don’t Pun Unless you know your audience well enough to throw in a few, don’t. Puns are brain farts. Steer clear of them. They add no value.Flickr | by ohdarling

Don’t Quote In pithy words or digits. The former is a sad excuse for filling empty spaces. The latter just shows you’re greedy. Use the slides to showwhat you have to offer. Quote and sell, later. Flickr | by nickb_rock

Don’t Prolong It’s a slideshow, not a lecture. Be crisp and brief. Use shorter sentences.Flickr | by slworking2

Flickr | by YanivGDon’t ScreamMetaphorically, of course. No flashy colors orunusually large text. AVOID USING UPPERCASE ALL THE TIME. They will still get it!

Now that you know how,and where it can goWRONGIts time you met the PROs,who put the SHOW inSlideshow Flickr | by vincentsl

Effect Works at Effect Works @Grace: In most cases they are as they fall flat. Once in a while you can get away with it! and thanks!

@Maha: Thanks!

@Winder: Agree & Disagree: They don't usually connect with the audience and are mostly forgotten. Why have them in the first place then/

@Manoj: I'm not sure I can understand what you are saying but I believe it is possible to get your idea across without being rude. It is definitely possibe, you just have to find your own way!

@Peggie: Thanks a bunch for those nice words! It is quite a challenge to convince clients to think differently and thankfully, we've been able to do that successfully till now :) 1 year ago

PeggieW Very precise, easy to engage, I am going to show it to my client. I have had to create PowerPoint presentations with TOO much copy, Too long, TOO many visuals, and just boring. I loved the guy on the floor-he sums up the entire presentation. K.I.S.S. you perfected it. 1 year ago

Manoj P , Artificial Intelligence Student at University of Leeds Innovate at the end, thank you. But you must make a point which you totally believe in, which sounds rude... So what is being rude? 1 year ago
