Hmmm Belinda Huckle reviews key factors that are used during a presentation.
1. Pathos: always something useful to manipulate
2. ensure the audience takes something from it: Most difficult if even one person of the audience isnt paying proper attention to the presentation. Huckle states that closing with an analogy that holds relevance to all members of the audience can possibly unite them and have them see a common interest. This would also be difficult because of how different people tend to be.
3.... questions: an interesting approach. Usually one saves questions for the end in order to focus on the presentation. A logical course of action. But Ms. Huckle argues that taking question as the presentation goes makes the audience feel like a relevant part of the conversation. I never gave this much thought until a recent presentation where i did this unknowingly.
4. Calming nerves: basic, but fundamental advice, remember audience is human, don't put too much thought into iit, andd prepare for presentation
5. make topic relevant: follow up... Ms. Huckle seems to be leaning to making the topic a reality by adding on what can be done.... very logical... not sure what realism would do to an audience, but I hypothesize that adding on to it would make it possible to do and get the audience interested in the process.
6. no exucses: there is really not much to say here... they don't care about you. they care about the presentation. and based on her advice. They WILL "shoot the messenger" if it so much as seems like he/she's going to deliver it in a horrible fashion.
7. do not read slides. The presentation is the summary from what i've been told. Let the presentation show minimal info so the audience can focus on you going into deeper detail.
8. keep repeating point: one that has been recently taught in writing, "hammering the info in" so to speak. Humans tend to remember the bare minimum in order to get by.... so it would be natural to push pass this limit by forcing it.
9. time limit. they were promised a certain amount of time... stick to it. this rule is absolute in my opinion.
