I just gave a presentation on 42Floors to 150 people. It went well. I was really proud of: 1) our team, 2) our product and 3) the way we were able to present it. It was as if we were telling people about it in our living room, but there just happened to be 150 people there.

You can even rehearse those answers so that you look really slick. So what to do if you don’t have a pre-prepared answer to to the question? Well the worst thing you can do is bluff. Never make it up. Even if you don’t get caught out (and you will, usually) you deserve to.

Quite often when you are listening to a speaker, teacher or seminar leader, you are thinking to yourself that this person is either a really good presenter or a boring one. For some reasons you are not totally sure of, you have put that person in your mind in one of these two classifications. Of course, if you are ever to be asked to do a presentation in front of people either at work or at a social event like a wedding, you definitely want to do your best so that you are not in turn, labeled as a boring presenter.

A friend of mine just asked me to share a few tips about public speaking so I thought I should share them here too. I might add more in the future, please add yours in comments. I might be a special case but I don’t rehearse much, I like speaking it comes naturally and I had hundreds of talks, if you start, I would try to rehearse 2-3 times at least for time constraints to make sure you’re not too long. a few tips: -talk to your audience like if you were having lunch with people in the room, don’t change the way you are, don’t become artificial because there is an audience in front of you -change the tone of your voice often up, down, up, down.
In PowerPoint 2007 and 2010 there is a little feature called Presenter View that could help you get rid of your printed notes and track better your time when presenting. This little feature may come too handy if you use PowerPoint a lot, but also if you need to make a truly great presentation. When using Presenter View, you will have your presentation being displayed in the projector, but keep your notes displayed, a time tracked and other handy tools displayed in your computer.

Last week’s post about why I don’t recommend Prezi got a lot of people talking, and the consensus seems to be that even if you do find some uses for Prezi, the use of excessive animation is at best distracting and counterproductive, and at worst actually nauseating for the audience. Animation should only be used when it helps the audience to understand a point – i.e. the movement or effect should be meaningful. Text does not need to fly in from all parts of the screen – it can just appear, or fade in, at the right time. Building up a slide point by point is fine and in fact often highly recommended – just don’t have things moving around for no reason. ‘Animation’, of course, means different things. It doesn’t just mean moving things around on the projector screen.
