Use three rules for PowerPoint

PowerPoint Sidle show is common during a public presentation in companies around the world. Unfortunately is wrong almost all used. It was so wrong as synonymous with boring, stunning presentation. In this short article presented this tool use three simple rules with which to attract public attention.

First PowerPoint rule - use not PowerPoint. If you really don't. And I don't mean "really need" situations such as "customers expect that" or "we always it use". "Have to" my I after the presentation is your boss come to you and tell you "You fired, because you use not PowerPoint". In any other situation will be better to replace slides with properly selected presentation techniques. The time you would spend slides on designing better will create interesting stories and examples that show what you want to say or work out at a mirror. To have not PowerPoint your presentation use, please do not continue to read this text.

If still you, now I will give you some tips that you use good impression despite the slide show. Second PowerPoint rule - use minimum amount of slides and wager minimum amount of content on a slide. Minimum amount of content means - a message that expressed in the simplest form possible.

Best option is, if there no text on the slides at all, only photos or pictures, reinforce your message. Images should not say something of themselves (without you speak) - so if staying in your slide show would view someone silence itself, it should not in a position to say what it is. During the presentation if your narrative slides should immediate effect bring settlement payment. Let not audience questions, "What is this film about?". Usually it is the best choice if fills full screen picture or photo.

Do you absolutely enter text, let its short cue, not very long sentences. For example set as "simplify message compelling linguistic constructions as a way of strengthening" to replace each word: co-wrote "simple" great script with background illustrate the idea of simplicity (such as showing black stone on a white background) photo taken. This rule your slides should remove anything that could take out the attention of key message - this applies to title and logo.

Third rule PowerPoint - use the 'B'-button on your keyboard. This is probably of PowerPoint and at the same time the most useful of convincing your message to strengthen one of the least known features. It makes screen turn completely black (just as it has been turned off). During the presentation not slides should appear, if it does not support what you're saying exactly in the given moment. This may mean that the blackout mode screen will be most of the time - and that's very good!

These three rules which I recognize as the most important. If just set of slides will cut and on you to the minimum, and "Power off" you say screen of everytime slide directly illustrate what content, enjoy the huge positive difference in the attractiveness of your presentation.

Attention paradox

It is something that usually in the context of not talking of a speech. This is something we talk not really at all. This is our inner search for attention from others. Need to feel accepted, liked, are recognised and praised is something that everyone feels. Even Sigmunt Freud said long ago that in addition to sexual instincts it search for recognition, the human behavior drives — there are so heavily treated as one of two main motivators of human kind. So the fist thing you need to understand is that it something that everyone feels, and this is very, very strong. The second important thing is that most people that is this necessity of were met far, far away. You remain to civilization in life does not let you contact, enter and get attention and appreciate each other. We all are insatiable. We need attention and recognition as a man needs water to a desert.

This need and status 'hungertod' are so strong that when we in a position to speak in public, it is the struggle for life and death as location for our psyche. We know that we can get... successful public speaking so much does insane. Yet we feel that it will be disaster - if we are rejected, although this is not true because we get less attention if we fail.

Is the solution for fear, treating situation holds a speech as an opportunity attention-seeking stop. Reverse you - give attention to your audience, show you about you really and prepare your presentation in advance before, so you sure that it meets audience needs. This will print you take (as you want to get attention), but also will make that monitor you more attractive to people. Remember you need attention, and if it will give you, see you as one of the most charismatic man you met.
