Good tips for presentations from Harvard Business Review


Good tips for presentations from Harvard Business Review --

Write the speech outline first, then make slides to back it up, so that you are thinking in terms of a convincing presentation, rather than just organizing slides.

Make slides that can be understood in <3 seconds (otherwise audience will be reading the slide and not listening)

One main concept per slide

Sketch out slides on post-it notes before putting into Ppt or other software

Slides are visual, so focus on showing visuals in them, like graphs and comparisons, rather than just replicating the words you are saying

(Maybe some of the data-dump slides where we profile personas could be turned into something more similar to persona boards rather than just a bunch of words. I keep hearing that MR clients like visuals so they can quickly feel like they see the results themselves.)
