Higher contrast is better visually Look at the resources below
Use key images to keep continuity in your presentation Good for agendas
Center alignment and off-center are good design elements
Closer together = items are affiliated Keep one idea o a slide
Use white space to focus attention Remember the Rule of 3s People follow onscreen people’s eyes
Use pictures to tell your story Remember font choice Use quotes for credibility

Ways to Manage the “Fear” (or “Nerves) (con’t):
You can hear a smile in your voice Puts people at ease Helps you relax and be happier Try the “Z”
method! 3-5 seconds each (it’s not a staring contest!)
Take a deep breath before your start Use your abdomen Lowers blood pressure
Standing erect but not “stiff“ but relaxed hands relaxed by your side
Before: throw your hands; roll your shoulders During: pinch thumb & middle finger covertly; “sand between your toes”
Grounds you Provides that internal “pep talk“ You CAN do this!
Get there early Set-up tech / AV Remove podiums! Look at lighting Greet everyone as they enter the room; make “audience allies“ Take a breath!
Allows for a pause & think
