This document proposes an intervention to increase employee safety at a doughnut shop by increasing proper glove usage when handling doughnuts near hot fryers. Currently employees only wear gloves about 60% of the time, risking injury from temperatures up to 360 degrees. The intervention uses a performance management technique where supervisors monitor and record glove usage, with employees receiving extended breaks for wearing gloves 100% of the time. After implementing this, glove usage increased to 94% but later dropped, so the intervention was recycled by requiring supervisor sign-off before working by the fryers. This further increased glove usage to near 100%.

For Elizabeth, a successful presentation is multifaceted: “A good presentation immediately provides an overview of where the presentation is going. It involves some sort of visual aid as well so that a listener is engaged both aurally and visually. Finally, I think anecdotes always make a presentation more interesting.”
When preparing a presentation, Elizabeth meticulously researches and outlines her material. “Research is such a key element, especially when preparing for a hearing before a judge. You need to be prepared to address any and all of the judge’s concerns. After researching, I outline my presentation.

10 Tips
Deliver Residual Messages
• The main idea(s) you want left in the audience’s minds
after all else is forgotten
• Completes the following sentence:
I want every member of my audience to understand and
accept that ________________________
• Characterized by four qualities
• Complete sentence
• Provable assertion
• Concise
• Specific
(Source: Dr. Andy Gustafson, The Pennsylvania State University)
If you wanted your audience to remember only one thing, what would it be?

2. Repeat the residual messages.
Delivering residual messages isn’t enough. They must be repeated to “stick.”
9. [ 9 ]
[ 9 ]
10 Tips
Repeat the Residual Messages
• Message repetition and memory retention are highly
positively correlated
• We forget 90% of what we learn in a class within 30 days
• We do the majority of this forgetting with the first few
hours after the class
• It all hinges on the first 30 seconds of memory
(Source: Dr. John Medina, author, Brain Rules, 2008)
Repeat to remember!

3. Treat the presentation like an event.
If presentations are like an event, then you’re the conductor.
13. [ 13 ]
[ 13 ]
10 Tips
Treat the Presentation Like an Event
• People do business with people they like
• Therefore, it’s important to sell ourselves in addition to
the organizations we represent
• As hosts of the meeting, we bear the responsibility of
creating a highly organized, memorable event
• Send an agenda
• Deliver the presentation by the agenda
• Keep the party going
• Follow up with action items in writing – speed counts!
Simple things we likely already know. Keep them in practice!
14. [ 14 ]
[ 14 ]
10 Tips
Treat the Presentation Like an Event
"One easy way to improve the level of trust, anytime and anywhere, is
simply to increase the speed with which people respond to
communication. When people return our calls or e-mails quickly, it
sends a signal that we can rely on them because our connection,
however distant, is important enough to claim some of their attention.
Response time is one indicator of the degree of trustworthiness of
the other individual.”
-- Art Kleiner, editor, strategy+business
Respond to your colleagues and customers quickly. Speed counts!

4. Speak extemporaneously.
Keep it real. Be very well-rehearsed, but not robotic.
16. [ 16 ]
[ 16 ]
10 Tips
Speak Extemporaneously
“The extemporaneous mode of speaking is the most effective
method of delivery for most presentations. This method of
speaking gives the impression that the speaker is talking with the
audience. Because the presenter will not be reading from a script, he
or she can maintain eye contact with the audience and be open to
any feedback the audience provides, such as a look of confusion
or understanding.”
-- Axzo Press, LLC, Effective Presentations, 2002.

• The visual medium
(e.g. PPT, handouts, flip charts, videos)
• The physical state of the audience
(e.g. sitting, standing, raising hands)
• The participatory state of the audience
(e.g. from listening to interactive)
• Where you physically stand
• Who is presenting
• The topic of discussion
• The physical state of the room
(e.g. turn the lights on/off)
10 Tips
Wake Up the Audience Often
• Good rule of thumb – “change grabs attention”
• Things you can change:
• The mood of the room
(e.g. telling a joke)
• Using someone’s name
• Using the word “you”
• Your tone of speech
• Your inflection of speech
• Your pace of speech
• Your volume of speech
• PowerPoint animation
• PowerPoint content

• While the mediums can vary greatly, highly effective
presentations contain four types of content:
• Facts
• Statistics
• Testimonies
• Examples
• Pros and cons to each
• Usage depends largely on the audience

38. [ 38 ]
[ 38 ]
• No matter how busy you are, make time for practice
• Practice for flow and diction, then seek feedback
• Use an audio/video recorder
• Look for variation in speed or tone, distracting filters
(e.g. “um,” “er,” “like,” “you know,” etc.)

Practice as Often as Possible
Always make time to practice. It will make a significant difference.
