Your presentation design helps you deliver an excellent presentation
with great confidence.
The following guidelines help you design your presentation step by step.
Remember to accompany these recommendations of the presentation
design with the good presentation tips and presentation body language
skills guide.
1- Make a creative opening to your presentation:
You can always make your own unique presentation opening. A good
example sets with a presenter who was addressing the CEO of major
airlines in the US. He was called upon by the organizer to take the floor.
He didn’t not. For 10 minutes or so all these CEO and executives
awaited his appearance. When they started to leave their seats, he
suddenly showed up and made his opening: “Ladies and Gentlemen,
sorry about being late…but this is how your airline passengers feel
when your planes are late in departure”!
Begin with making sure that the audience is ready to receive the
message. This is a milestone in your presentation design.
Then communicate the message. Make sure that the audience listens,
receives and understands the message.
