Covid-19 has transformed the way we present. IN OFFLINE PRESENTATIONS we focused much more on the presenter than on the slides. IN ONLINE PRESENTATIONS we focus much more on the slide deck. So what can you do now to make your online presentation work?

1. HOW SHOULD
PRESENTATIONS
LOOK LIKE IN A PANDEMIC WORLD?

2. COVID-19 HAS TRANSFORMED
THE WAY WE PRESENT

3. OFFLINE PRESENTATIONS
THIS IS HOW WE PRESENTED
BEFORE COVID-19

4. THIS IS HOW WE PRESENT
IN THE COVID-19-TIMES
ONLINE PRESENTATIONS

5. WHAT HAS CHANGED?

6. IN OFFLINE
PRESENTATIONS
we focused much
more on the
presenter than
on the slides.
THE MAIN DIFFERENCE IS THE FOLLOWING:
IN ONLINE
PRESENTATIONS
we focus much more
on the slide deck.

7. IN OFFLINEPRESENTATIONS
Presenter’s charisma, body
language and eye contact
grabbed people’s attention.

8. IN OFFLINEPRESENTATIONS
This way he/she could build
the rapport with the audience
without much concerning how
good or how bad his/her slides
were.

9. IN ONLINEPRESENTATIONS
Presenter is visible only
in a small rectangle
on the recipient’s screen.

10. IN ONLINEPRESENTATIONS
SLIDES are the main
part of the screen.

11. NOW THE AUDIENCE FOCUS ON
THE SLIDE DECK MORE THAN EVER BEFORE.

12. Recipients catch
all inconsistencies,
shortcomings and
weaknesses
of your slides.

13. BEFORE COVID-19 IT WAS NOT A CRIME TO
PRESENT WITH BAD SLIDES AND COVER THEM WITH
SPEAKER’S CHARISMA.

14. BUT NOW SHOWING SUCH SLIDES IS LIKE
SCORING AN OWN GOAL.

15. SO WHAT CAN YOU DO NOW
TO MAKE YOUR ONLINE
PRESENTATION WORK?

16. KEEP IT SHORT AND SIMPLE
1
Don’t waste time on implementing irrelevant content
making your presentation long and tiresome for the audience.
FOCUS ONLY ON THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS.

17. 2
Any shifts, asymmetric elements and disproportions distract
the audience.
Use two options to keep anything on your slide in order:
GUIDES and ALIGNMENT FUNCTION.
KEEP IT TIDY

18. 3
Presentation is a VISUAL THING.
Need to find high-quality pictures?
Try using free stock images from unsplash.com or pexels.com.
MAKE IT VISUAL

19. 4 USE ONLY ONE PORTION
OF INFORMATION PER SLIDE
Your audience is not concerned with the number of slides
in your presentation but with the time needed to present it.
TRACK YOUR TIME. DON’T COUNT SLIDES.
Make as many slides as you wish.

20. 5 TAKE YOUR TIME
Time saved on creating shorter presentation devote to polishing your
slides.
To make it look professional, it needs to be tidy, aesthetic and neat.
TAKE YOUR TIME to refine your presentation.
