Editor's Notes
Tips
Keep the title short
This is a presentation, not an academic journal article. If you need more than five words to capture the main idea, it’s not the main idea.
Here are some tips: use the sub-head to qualify or describe your title if necessary. Don’t use “BOSTES” in the title; that’s what the logo is for.
Identify the date and audience
There are a couple of reasons to include a date and audience. First, it’s polite to show you know who you are speaking to. Second, we use a single presentation on a number of occasions and this is a form of version control.
Tips
Think about:
Who are you speaking to?
Why are you speaking to them?
What do you want them to do as a result?
If you don’t have clear answers to these three questions, why are you presenting?
Depending on the occasion, it may be useful to use the answers to these three questions as your first slide. This can help set the scene and show the audience you know who they are, why you’re there, and what is expected from them. You can come back to this in conclusion.
Notes
Focus on key messages
Avoid unnecessary details
Organise points from the most to the least important
Aim for three points per slide and six words per point
Use graphs in your slides, images to complement your words
Graphs provide a visual summary of data and are easy for the audience to process (column, pie, line etc)
Flowcharts show relationships, milestones and processes
Tables keep things neat (timelines, agenda items etc)
A picture is worth a thousand words – consider using screenshots to show your point
Videos allow you to show rather than tell, and can reinforce your message
Make handouts from speaker notes
