3 presentation tips before you present
I just read this funny, but relevant article on PresentationZen where presentation tips are learned from Star Wars IV.
It got me thinking of my 3 step process to draft presentations.
#1 Start by understanding your objective. What single thought do you want your audience to walk away with? What action do you want them to take?
#2 What are the key messages. What are the key points you have to make in order to make your objective?
#3 What facts support your key messages? Why should people believe your key messages?
#4 (Bonus) Do NOT open PowerPoint. Start with the best drafting tools ever made: pencil and paper. Sketch your slides and use the many tips of presentation zen.
