Simon Sinek: Why good leaders make you feel safe. A dozen challenges for presenters. A few years ago I developed a workshop based on Garr Reynolds’ book, Presentation Zen. One of my handouts is a set of challenges aimed at helping faculty break the “Death by PowerPoint” mold. I presented the session yesterday and decided to share part of it here. The ideas are intended as goals, not absolute rules. Focus on one thing – concentrate on your learning goals – what you want students to remember most.Tell a story - it can provide added meaning and give context.
There’s nothing like a good metaphor! See Nancy Duarte’s book, Resonate.Don’t hand out slides – students should be following you, not a piece of paper. Use handouts for details and extras.Embrace the space – don’t crowd the screen. I try to follow the principles closely when facilitating the workshop. Like this: Like Loading...
