Editor's Notes
- Brief bio (tipos de diferentes charlas) Los invito a que sean parte de la discusión, compartan sus experiencias.
- El hemisferio izquierdo es la parte motriz capaz de reconocer grupos de letras formando palabras, y grupos de palabras formando frases, tanto en lo que se refiere al habla, la escritura, la numeración, las matemáticas y la lógica, como a las facultades necesarias para transformar un conjunto de informaciones en palabras, gestos y pensamientos. Es un hemisferio derecho, centro de las facultades viso-espaciales no verbales, especializado en sensaciones, sentimientos, prosodia y habilidades especiales como las visuales y sonoras, por ejemplo las habilidades artísticas y musicales.
- Factores externos que no podemos controlar
- Don’t forget….
- Tengo que sentarme a hacer un PPT: NO Tengo que sentarme a preparar CONTENIDO, UN MENSAJE DE VALOR En Rock Solid, en su mayoría nos enfocamos en 3 tipos de presentaciones: informativa (Ej. Company Meeting); Instructiva o Demostrativa (Ej: RST University / Adiestramiento a clientes ) y Persuasiva (Ej: Ventas)
- Toma el tiempo de agrupar suficiente material para que puedas darle a tu audiencia un mensaje claro y completo.
- The Eassy Burger…can be applied on presentations structures as well. Instead of sentences…statements Through the supporting points: Focus on 3 main topics, explain it, the provide examples
- Point - you make your point such as ‘Speaking up can enhance your career’. Reason - you explain that people who speak up are perceived as competent and intelligent. Example - you share that David Jones has just been promoted for the second time this year. He speaks up a lot – but he’s no more competent than the rest of us (note: fictional example). Point - you make your point again that ‘Speaking up can enhance
- Take full control of your audience, Speak out, You should be the main attraction not the PowerPoint, Control your voice Eye contact
- Talk about the Comfortable Viewing Distance for Text on Presentation Visuals 4:3 screens (projectors, older monitors)
- For example, if you are using a 60 inch screen and have 32 point text on your slides, the farthest that someone should be is 57 feet from the screen
- Be prepare for the un-expected…Use clicker, Save your presentation 101 times, USB for saving, Technology can somethings be tricky. DON’T Depend on your presentation. HAVE A BACKUP PLAN
- Practice your presentation against the clock. Allow extra time for questions Watch out for nerves Take in a clock or take off your wrist watch
- Un estilo bien peculiar… No creo que es un ice-breaker ideal. Sí: fue viral en el Internet; causó emoción “Get on Your Fit” No lo recomiendo
- Let images talk for itself. Help you deliver the message.
- This will allow you to take control of the presentation, deliver it more organized. Difference between a video and real-time presentation. Human touch. Audience being able to interact and clarify the message. Engagement / Give rewards for responders/participants.
- You know so much about the topic!!! no one can follow the thread of the presentation Bullets: Animations 3 juntos, si tienen relación…gray or black the new ones…
- Keep It Silly Simple is a design principle noted by the U.S. Navy in 1960. The KISS principle states that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complicated; therefore simplicity should be a key goal in design and unnecessary complexity should be avoided. Recommendation: Stick to three, or at the most, four points about your topic and expound on them. The audience will be more likely to retain the information.
- Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or difficult to read from Always be consistent with the background that you use
- Using a font colour that does not contrast with the background colour is hard to read Using colour for decoration is distracting and annoying. Using a different colour for each point is unnecessary Using a different colour for secondary points is also unnecessary
- San Serif para que vaya a tono con el logo corporativo y a su vez, luzca moderno. NO usar muchos fonts Título Texto normal Hightlight (opcional) ejemplo: citas
- Look for photos that (1) speak strongly to the concept you’re talking about and (2) aren’t compositionally complex. Your photo could be a metaphor or something more literal, but it should be clear why the audience is looking at it, and why it’s paired with what you’re saying.
- That’s why we should focus our presentation follow this: 55% of the information/ communications we take in is visual (pictures, graphs, tables, props) 7% is text Use visuals whenever you can In a speech you are only using 38% of the communication medium Ditch the bullet points
- Demostrar PROCESOS Animación para demostrar un proceso… Videos .gif animados Video recorder
- Make sure the color scheme choose for the graphic is consistent with the corporate/product branding along the presentation
- But is also recommended you use original images.
- Presentations are often a point of first-contact with important decision makers. If your presentation comes off poorly, that is what people will think of you and your idea/product/service/company
- Personal care… Comfortable shoes Professional attire Jordan Peele - Barack Obama
- Body Language: Straight posture Use powerful posture to build confidence in yourself. PRACTICE THE POWER POSTURE!!!!!
- Just the first 5 minutes…later minute 7 : Can you fake it until you make it! Our nonverbal govern how we feel. Study…high postures for 2 minutes.
- Walk it= When presenting 3 main points, change positions or walk 2 steps for 2nd point. Maintain a straight position SMILE; most powerful weapon Make eye-contact with audience Take control of your facial expressions and hand gestures Control your voice Walk it
- Also, ask for evaluations.
