TELL STORIES!
TELL STORIES
• Human beings are programmed to respond to stories
- Stories help us to pay attention, and also to remember
things.
- Your audience is more likely to engage and remember
your points
- Think about what story you are trying to tell your
audience, and create your presentation to tell it.

Don’t let Power
Point (Keynote)
Outsmart You
Presentation DONT’s
Don’t let Power Point decide how you use PowerPoint
• Microsoft wanted to provide PowerPoint users with a lot of tools and often wants to
make decisions for you. But this does not mean you should use them all.
• Don’t use Microsoft Office’s default fonts, Calibri and Cambria. These two fonts lack
punch and can make your presentation a bit .
• Never use PPT’s action sounds – it is not considered professional
• Click off background graphics routinely – they can make your presentation drag.
• PPT Themes: Make sure that the presets complement your needs!
Who is your
audience?

okay

USE HOOKS!
10-20-30 RULE FOR SLIDESHOWS
• Contain no more than 10 slides;
• Last no more than 20 minutes (exceptions)
• Use a font size of no less than 30 point.
• Why 30 point:
• Stops you trying to put too much info on one slide
• ‘Death by PowerPoint’.
DELIVERY
TIPS
1310/5/2017
Develop smooth verbal
transitions between slides.
Do not say: So, on this next
slide…”, “finally…” , “So,
in conclusion”
If you get stressed
• Just read the abstract SLOWLY
• Do not editorialize
• Do NOT read the titles
• Introduction, Methods, Results
• Use laser pointer wisely
• Use two hands
• Alternatively: The mouse does not shake – Use it!
• If multiple screens
• Use only mouse – not laser pointer

DO NOT:

• Be honest and direct. It is OK to say “I do not know”
• Guess
• Remember these 7 words:
• “I don’t know, but I’ll find out.”
• Say
• “That’s a great question,” “I’m glad you asked that,” or “Thank you for asking that”.
• Say
• “To be honest,” “Honestly speaking,” “To be perfectly honest with you,” “If I’m being
honest,” “ To be frank,” etc.
• Build on a colleague’s answer unless you have something new and valuable
to add
• Contradict a colleague
• Interrupt a questioner or a colleague
• Offer to follow up “offline”
