Today, more and more project teams are formed to achieve organizational objectives as organizations generally recognize the importance and benefits of project teams. One of the outcomes working in a project team is the proliferation of Team Shared Mental Models (TSMM). It is critical to examine the antecedents of TSMM which is the aim of this study as TSMM by itself can contribute to project team learning and others. However, it is unclear from literature whether both leadership roles and team building & participation can influence TSMM concurrently especially in a project setting study whereby there is resource and time constraint compare to normal work teams which are ongoing and operational in nature. This has developed a research model underpinned on Cohen and Bailey’s (1997) Team Effectiveness Framework to empirically analyze how leadership roles and team building & participation can predict TSMM. Cross sectional quantitative research with online survey method was used in this study. Partial Least Squares (PLS) were employed whereby SmartPLS v2 was used to perform path analysis. Based on 201 random sample responses from project managers in Malaysia, findings suggest that leadership roles can influence TSMM indirectly via team building & participation. Knowledge contribution of this study is that project managers should invest extra efforts in team building & participation as it is the main contributor to TSMM. Activities of team building & participation can increase interactions among team members which can help generate more TSMM in order to improve project team learning. Discussion, conclusion and limitations are also included in this article.

A non designeris guide to creating memorable visual slides.
If you’re like most people, you’ve probably created dozens of presentations in your lifetime, and many of these in just under a few hours. But ask yourself: Do you really know how to design a memorable presentation that will stick in your viewers’ minds for months, even years to come?
The answer is probably no. Most of us have never actually learned the design principles necessary to impact audiences through visual storytelling. Perhaps the closest we have ever come to crafting a visual message is a PowerPoint presentation full of bullet points, overused stock photos and bland color schemes.
But these kinds of presentations rarely inspire real change, especially in this new age of visual communication.
Presentation skills are the skills you need in delivering effective and engaging presentations to a variety of audiences. These skills cover a variety of areas such as the structure of your presentation, the design of your slides, the tone of your voice and the body language you convey.
Presentation skills can be defined as a set of abilities that enable an individual to: interact with the audience; transmit the messages with clarity; engage the audience in the presentation; and interpret and understand the mind-sets of the listeners. These skills refine the way you put forward your messages and enhance your persuasive powers.
The present era places great emphasis on good presentation skills. This is because they play an important role in convincing the clients and customers. Internally, management with good presentation skills is better able to communicate the mission and vision of the organization to the employees.

Innovative Business Plan Presentations: Turning Ten Minutes
into Competitive Success
Right or wrong, people form a perception about how competent you are by how
you present yourself when you stand and speak. They also form perceptions
about the company you represent based on your performance. Does that make
you nervous? It should! Never before in the history of mankind has more been
riding on the effectiveness of a person's presentation.
In fact, public speaking is an easy way to set yourself apart from your
competition, because when you stand up and say what you want to say, they
way that you want to say it, you are doing what 95% of the people in the
audience wish they could do! A person who is confident in front of a group gives
off an air of competence, whereas a person who fumbles might leave a negative
impression.
There are many occasions when you, as a small business owner, will be called
upon to explain your business. These presentations will be given to many diverse
groups including potential customers, bankers, suppliers, and investors. Each
group requires different information about your business and it should be
presented in a format appropriate to the situation.
Along with computer literacy, professional presentation skills are becoming a new
survival skill in the workplace. Not only do people enjoy presenters who are
inviting, engaging and informative, in today's hypercompetitive marketplace,
presenters have to persuade and inspire to obtain a bid, win a contract, gain the
confidence of an ally in a high-stakes competitive task, and motivate others to
overcome impossible obstacles.
Words have the ability to change the way that people think, the way the people
believe, and can even change their values. If you can alter someone's values,
then you can redirect their actions. From values, actions will flow. From beliefs,
come a person's subsequent behaviors.
On the other hand, technical expertise and proficiency without the ability to
communicate will render us inefficient and ineffective. According to research,
people would rather die than stand in front of people and make a speech. The
top three things people are afraid of are public speaking, death, and snakes!
Since you as a businessperson will be required to make presentations, sales
pitches, pleas for cash, and so on, it is imperative that you recognize that
nervousness is a part of the communication experience, and find ways to
channel that anxiety into useful energy.
Are you nervous about your public speaking skills? Developing and delivering
business presentations, just like most functions in business, are formulaic and
are a learned skill. Learn the formula, practice the skill and you will gain
competency as a presenter. This document is part of learning the formula. You
will have to provide the practice to learn and master the skill.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

1.
2. GETTING OUT OF THE BOX is a series of ten guiding questions we’ve developed to help our clients create fresh, engaging, and effective presentations. presentation is a powerful tool. By telling a clear and compelling story with words and images, a presentation has the power to change the world. It can impart information and knowledge. It can overcome resistance, indecision, and doubt. It can transform complacency into commitment. Are you ready to change the world?

3. What are my goals? Whether it is to inspire, persuade, or inform, the goal of your presentation is to in some way change or reinforce your audience’s knowledge, opinions, and beliefs.
4. What are my goals? How do I want to transform my audience ? What do I want them to “walk away with” at the end of my presentation? Create a short list of goals for your presentation in simple, concrete terms.
5. What is my main message? Your audience is bombarded with thousands of messages and ideas every day. Your challenge is to cut through the noise and engage their attention and imagination with a message that is clear, concise, and relevant.
6. What is my main message? What single statement best expresses my main message? Describe in a single sentence a message that will both engage your audience and accomplish your goals.
7. What are my key points? What are the key points that will bring out the most important and meaningful dimensions of my main message? Create a list of key points that will best communicate your message to your audience.
8. What supports my key points? The more ways your audience is able to connect with your message, the better they will understand, accept, and remember it.
9. What supports my key points? How many different ways can my key points be validated, clarified, and demonstrated? Develop at least four supporting elements for each key point. maps explanations timelines case histories graphs statistics models demonstration metaphors diagrams audience participation photographs personal anecdotes analogies comparisons gestures illustrations testimonials prototypes flow charts

13. How can I best present the story? How can the truth and importance of my message be conveyed through my voice and body language? Rehearse your presentation. Develop confident mastery of its transitions from topic to topic and slide to slide.
14. How can I bring the message to life? How can I deliver a fresh, living message? Be awake to the details of the room and your audience. Treat your audience like participants, rather than spectators. End by asking them to take specific action.
15. How can I keep the message moving? How can the momentum of my message be maintained and strengthened over time? Follow-up with focused action. Reinforce and refresh the message by using its ideas, images, and symbols in a variety of contexts. Alan Kay it's what the vision does." "It's not what the vision is,
