Tips For More Compelling & Effective Presentations

10-20-30 Rule

Guy Kawasaki slideshow rule states that the presentation slide should not be more than 10 slides, no longer than 20 minutes & every text has more than 30 point font. For an effective presentation, a presenter needs to follow this rule. 

Be Entertaining

Presentations should be entertaining & informative. We are not saying to act like a cartoon in between the presentation. But, apart from written content, people expect an emotional touch. Simply reciting your presentation without any humor will make your audience bored. 

Connect With Your Audience

It is difficult to be relaxed when you are nervous. But, the top presenters say that the essential thing is to make a connection with your audience. Try to be honest with your audience about what & why it is important for you.

Focus On Audience’s Needs 

Your presentation needs to be prepared around what your audience needs. While making the presentation, always remember what your audience needs & wants to know from your presentation & not what you want to tell them.

Smile & Make Eye Contact With The Audience

This sounds easy, but a large number of presenters fail to do it. While giving your presentation, if you smile & make eye contact with the audience, it builds a rapport, that helps your audience to connect with you & what you are talking about.

Make sure that all the lights are not switched off during your presentation because your audience needs to see you along with your presentation.
