Effective Power Point — Webinar Transcript

Effective PowerPoint Get Your Message Across

Effective PowerPoint

Be Seen

Make sure your text is big enough

This is 28 point Arial

Anything below 24 points is too small

Effective PowerPoint Use contrasting color schemes (design templates) ‏ These colors contrast These colors don’t contrast These colors contrast (harder to read?) ‏ These colors don’t contrast These colors contrast (harder to read?) ‏

Effective PowerPoint

Be Clear

Use a sans-serif font (Arial, Verdana ) ‏

Serif fonts are harder to read on-screen

Italics are harder to read on-screen

Use bold or color for emphasis

Effective PowerPoint

Simple is best

Basic light colored background and dark text

Avoid distracting images

Limit transitions, animations, and sound effects

Don’t get hung up on looks

Effective PowerPoint

Plan

Plan Ahead (remember your purpose) ‏

Plan Carefully (get it under control) ‏

Plan for Disaster (next mouse click?) ‏

Effective PowerPoint

Don’t read your screen

Remember, PowerPoint presentations shouldn’t be used as cue cards. Bullet points should prompt you. Besides, your audience will read faster than you will talk. Plus your back will be them. Which leads to the next point…

Effective PowerPoint

Avoid long sentences

6 words per line

6 lines per slide

Understanding vs. Overload

Effective PowerPoint Use images to communicate…

Effective PowerPoint … Not to decorate

Effective PowerPoint

Always save to the hard disk

Floppies/Zip disks stink

Periodically save to network

USB “Flash” drives are great!

Effective PowerPoint

Use PowerPoint Shows

Bypass the PowerPoint Interface

File > Save As… PowerPoint Show

File name ends in .pps

Don’t be afraid!

Who needs bullets?

Don’t use PowerPoint as a crutch

Simple. Remember?

Effective PowerPoint

NathalieRo I liked this a lot. It is both simple and effective. I disagree with those that say bullet points dont work. As this powerpoint clearly demonstrates, bullet points are there to highlight and remind you of what you want to say. The audience listens to you instead of spending the whole time reading your slides - in effect missing your actual words. 1 month ago

Are you sure you want to Yes No

janeideac Cool! 1 month ago

Malika13 Well done. thanks 2 months ago

Curved Vision at Curved Vision I stopped watching at slide two. The ONE thing we know for absolute sure about Powerpoint presentations is that traditional bulletpoint orientated slides DO NOT WORK. Experts have known this for a long, long time and proving it to people is how I early my daily bread.

Actually I guess I should be grateful that people don't know that - otherwise I'd be out of a job! :) 11 months ago

Robert Daverschot , Marketing Manager at Shakespeak How about mobile interaction with your audience? I don’t like the idea of having a monologue and use Shakespeak: your audience can vote or react via their mobile phone, using TXT, Internet or Twitter. You can download a free plugin for up to 20 people at www.shakespeak.com. It adds an extra toolbar to your PowerPoint programm and from there you can easily add questions. It changed my way of presenting!
