Editor's Notes
- I’m Kirby Crider.. Since I didn’t bring cupcakes, I figured this high-definition close-up shot of a cookie dough cupcake would have to do. I’m a learning technology professional, and I help people take their complex information and give it to their audiences in a way that they can digest. Today, we’re going to think about just one tool for doing this—the much-maligned PPT!

Since I didn’t bring cupcakes, I figured this high-definition close-up shot of a cookie dough cupcake would have to do. I work to help people make complex information easy-to-digest—or at least, easy to get excited about eating!
- Today, we’re going to focus mostly on visual communications of your messages. However, before we do that, I went to get us up and moving. It’s Monday AM! Public speaking and presentations are… SCARY! People hate them! A study in UT-Austin found that pubic speaking was the #1 Phobia– 15% of Americans have a “dramatic fear.” Today, we’re going to focus mostly on visual communications of your messages. However, before we do that, I went to get us up and moving. It’s Monday AM!
- Weak poses are when you make your body smaller… By crossing your legs, holding your neck, hunching over… These poses increase cortisol—the stress hormone.
- Power poses decrease the stress hormone. People who did power poses for just 2 minutes! (in a bathroom stall, wherever!) were significantly more likely to be “hired” in a research study by participants who didn’t know anything about which poses they did, compared to “weak” pose groups.
- This breathing technique normalizes your heart rate, helps you feel calm, and centers you. Repeat it four times…
- I want you to create meaningful presentations that create change in your audiences! This session will help you improve your ability to communicate your coalition’s messages—internally, externally, to partners, staff, volunteers, community members, and peers.

- So, now, with Mr. Jobs fresh in mind, who was an excellent salesman—why are you presenting? Let’s do a quick, informal poll—raise your hands to show me. What are some other reasons I don’t have listed?
- We create presentations because we seek to make change in the world. Even if it’s small change! How do we create change? It’s simple– by creating meaning. I believe that any presentation worth giving, by definition, makes meaning for your audience—and that changes the world.
- Here’s Ben. His answers are in your handouts. 1. Who is he? He’s a teacher in the local middle school. He’s a passionate advocate for the kids he teaches and for getting them involved in sports and the arts. 2. Why is he here? He wants to understand how your coalition’s efforts might impact the kids he’s teaching. He’s also curious about prevention, because he’s going to teach a new module on substance abuse next fall. 3. What are his problems? He doesn’t know much about prevention, and wants to equip himself to be an effective teacher. 4. How can you help him solve them? Your expertise and connections to service providers who know about prevention education could be a valuable asset to him. 5. What do you want him to do? He’d be an excellent volunteer, and an excellent conduit to the local school system. Your coalition has had trouble getting in with them. 6. What might give him pause? Ben loves his job, and wants to make sure that working with the coalition will help him be better at it—not hinder it. 7. What’s the best way to reach him? He wants to see exactly how your coalition has an actual impact, and wants to hear about how your substance abuse prevention efforts have a positive impact on general well-being.
- Take some time to answer this question about some of your audiences. Write down your answers, then explain them to a partner. Get a new partner!
- Brainstorm ideas from a central word or short phrase. Quantity, not quality is key. Use images, diagrams, numbers… Be free!
- What are some key elements of good storytelling? Storytelling falls much more on the art side of things. It can be beautiful, heartwarming, and fun… Here are some of the keys I’ve identified. Let’s think about each one.
- Do you hear the vulnerability? “That made me feel.” And the specificity: I said “I know I’m not like your friends’ mothers.”
- Post-it notes are a great way to begin to sequence ideas.
- Answer: Presenter makes a statement. Visual aid reinforces that statement, and makes audience “believe.”
- This is a much broader answer. Let’s explore some examples.
- One of the most common mistakes is making a “slide-ument” and not a presentation. Unfortunately, the basic PPT idea really exacerbates this problem. Presentations are visual aids, not documents. People read faster than you talk, so they end up thinking you are slow.
- One of the most common mistakes is making a “slide-ument” and not a presentation. Unfortunately, the basic PPT idea really exacerbates this problem. Presentations are visual aids, not documents. People read faster than you talk, so they end up thinking you are slow. If you need to communicate a whole lot of information, create a document. If you are afraid people won’t read the document unless you read it to them, have a presentation about using the document, then hand it out at the end. Presentations are change vehicles, not tools for communicating large amounts of prose. That’s what a document is for.

- This is hard to read– because of a lack of contrast.
- This is awkward. The background takes up ¼ of the screen. The images feel forced. There’s no repetition or consistency here.
- There’s no contrast, poor alignment, and poor proximity here.
- This one has good proximity and contrast. Like elements are grouped together. The most important, emotional word is highlighted. The main title I larger and bolder. The black background makes it stand out.
- Like the little off-white “cards” I’ve been using throughout this presentation. This is a good time to mention that if you use a logo, you don’t need to use it on EVERY slide… Do you start each sentence with “I‘m Kirby Crider and…” The paradox is that people will probably be more likely to forget your presentation if you clutter it up with noise like a logo. Be memorable in your entire presentation! (Like, remember King Kong at the beginning??)
- Flickr offers creative commons images. Find the link in your handout. Remember to CITE images.
- You have a massively powerful camera in your pocket. Use it! By the way: these devices are WAY faster and more powerful than the computers that sent people to the moon.
- Powerpoint offers a lot of image editing tools as well. I can go over some of them if you are interested.
- Demonstrate color picker (eyedropper)
- Using graphs and images to tell stories– and to focus on the specific data. SIGNAL TO NOISE RATIO!
- Using graphs and images to tell stories– and to focus on the specific data.

- 3 hours of practice for 1 hour of presenting. Not necessarily READING script and memorizing it… But spending time with your slides and talking through each concept. There’s value to actually speaking out loud. Shower, commute, etc.
