“According to most studies, people's number one fear is
public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that
sound right? This means to the average person, if you
go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than
doing the eulogy.”Jerry Seinfeld

PowerpointIt’s What Makes Presentations
Great
Information Overload Have you ever been in a presentation
where there is so much text on the slide and you are sitting there concentrating and trying to read what is on the slide while still trying to listen to the speaker, only you can’t really do both very well and you start to get a headache.
Or worse yet, the speaker reads the entire slide to you as if you were incapable of reading it yourself.
Killed by Bullets Not too much text Nice simple
phrases But many phrases And they all say the
same Thing But at least They are all in Bullet format
Using Bullets is Definitely much
better So be sure To put all the
important Stuff In Bullets To really drive home Your Points
Fonts
Too big Too Small
Colors
•Colors are definitely not distracting
•Use a variety of colors to enhance presentation
•Contrast is not important
Isn’t that Cute Powerpoint offers lots of animation
tricks Which only enhances your
presentation It doesn’t distract from the main
content It’s also important to put in random
images

“You can gain strength, courage and confidence by every
experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.
You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that
comes along’… You must do the thing you cannot do.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
Public Speaking Success!
