How to Create a Presentation

If your presentation has a clear, succinct message:-

 --you’ll be able to remember it better,
 --you’ll also be less nervous when you come to present it,
 --and your audience will be able to understand it better.

 

The best way to create a clear, succinct and well designed presentation is to take a structured approach to planning and writing it. And this is one of the key steps to achieving excellent presentation skills.

Never Ask 'Does That Make Sense?'

Just as a chef is attuned to the subtleties of flavor and trends in the culinary arts, a presentation coach is attuned to the subtleties of language and trends in the communication art. One trend I've noted recently is the expression, "Does that make sense?" often used by a speaker during a conversation — or a presenter during a presentation — to check whether the listener or audience has understood or appreciated what the speaker has just said. Unfortunately, the expression has two negative implications.

How to Embed Screenr Videos Into PowerPoint

Screenr‘s embed codes make it super easy to insert screencasts directly into PowerPoint. So, while most times you’ll work with the newer embed codes, PowerPoint only accepts the older embed formats. That’s okay because Screenr offers both.

Brain Rules | Brain Rules |

Most of us have no idea what’s really going on inside our heads. Yet brain scientists have uncovered details every business leader, parent, and teacher should know—like the need for physical activity to get your brain working its best.

 

How do we learn? What exactly do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multi-tasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget—and so important to repeat new knowledge? Is it true that men and women have different brains?

 

n Brain Rules, Dr. John Medina, a molecular biologist, shares his lifelong interest in how the brain sciences might influence the way we teach our children and the way we work. In each chapter, he describes a brain rule—what scientists know for sure about how our brains work—and then offers transformative ideas for our daily lives.
