Structure

Something completely new: Start with the audience
Something completely new: Start at the end!
Slides: fewer elements, but clearer and more explicit
Less information – but more digestible!
Keep everyone on board – leave no-one behind!
‘Open’ your slides, assume nothing!
Orientation satisfies the need for security
An issue with no downside is usually implausible
Reduce your story to the core – until it ‘fits in the elevator’!
Start at the end: What is your summary?
Stacking bricks – or starting with a construction plan?
Up-to-the-minute but potentially explosive!
Being ‘up-to-the-minute’ also works in professional discussions.
“I + here + now” – personal and up-to-date – as an icebreaker
Your starting point: formulate clear messages!
Clear for ME is by no means clear for YOU!
Change your signal-noise ratio!
“I am sure you have heard ...” – play on current events in the media
Talk about the weather – but with a clearly defined (audience-oriented) purpose
The power of the present or upcoming time of the year
The shorter the presentation, the more practice is required!
Keeping it short requires logic + structure.
Here’s something for later! - The importance of the ‘take-away’
A maximum of 5 key messages – but really ‘hammer’ them home!
Learn from the media: ‘headlines’ instead of ‘subjects’!
Wake up your audience with a wrong, ‘unsuccessful’ or unexpected slide
Is it always OK to present a ‘problem’?
The power of silence
Territorial tactic – the technique of 'optical enlargement'
Selection and sequence: the ‘agenda technique’.
Demonstrate interest and reap it in return
A powerful presentation starts with clearly defined “chunks”
From Point A to Point B – with your audience in tow!
