Thursday, March 20th, 2008

There is a divided opinion about the power of words in presentation. Some experts have underplayed its importance. But for some what you say is more important than how you say it. In the business world people value the tangible and the rational. They like to know the difference between what you are offering and what exists in the market. For effective powerpoint presentations you should

· Plan carefully
· Research well
· Know your audience
· Practice well
· Speak Clearly and Comfortable
· Modulate your sound well
· Dress properly
· Smile and have an eye contact

Effective PowerPoint Presentation slides should have

· Design templates
· Standard color and style
· Avoid unnecessary information
· Limit information and make it concise and crisp
· Content should always be self evident
· Use contrasting colors
· Be consistent with animations and transitions
· Lessen the number of slides
· Avoid long sentences as it tends to bore the audience
· Don’t use fancy fonts and avoid capital letters

Try and offer substance that’s cosmetically adorned with style.
