Creativity
Presentations require creativity, which in turn requires an open mind and a willingness to be wrong. Constraints help us focus. During preparations keep in mind: simplicity, clarity, and brevity. The two key questions during your preparations: What’s your main point? Why does it matter?
Crafting a Story
A presentation is never just about the facts, so make your presentation more story-like.
Design
Design is about making communication as easy and clear for the viewer as possible. First principle: remove nonessential elements and visual clutter.
Presentations are like a conversation which requires your full presence and attention. Don’t worry or even think about mistakes, failure or success, be only in the moment of the presentation. The more you rehearse and practice, the more you will make it look easy and natural. You must appeal with both the logical and the emotional to have a connection with the audience. Finish the presentation a little earlier than the time you have for it. Keep the lights on so that the audience can see you and connect with you. Remove any barriers between you and the audience – avoid podiums and use a remote control for advancing your slides.
