Preparing Slides (contd)
� The most important aspect is that,presentation is not report.
� Dont place huge text over the slides.
� Better to use K ey points. Mind it, the central point of presentation is
presenter and his presentation.. Not the slide
Whenever you find that, audience are not interested
on your mouth and art of presentation, and passingmost of the time by looking at the projector skimmingthe slides, then you may be sure that, yourpresentation is not making any sense.

SLIDE: 8
Preparing Slides (contd)
� Key point is important because, whenever
you are moving through slides you have to
illustrate the topic of the slide that is being
displayed at real time, without having anyextended opportunity to read that side and
then clarifying.
So, make the slide titles such that, you may get a
complete sense of the entire slide.
Coloring i.e. emphasizing formatting may also be
helpful.

the topics you present and from that, you

greater level of control on the span of contents.
So, decide the level up to which you want to clarify

Preparing Slides (contd)
� When you have a number of slides try to
cover each topic on one slide.
� For content distribution, make sure that, all
the slides contain almost same amount of content

with text, which the next one contains simply
two/three lines.

Preparing yourself
� Do you wear blazer when you go for
swimming ????
So, when you are going for presentation, dress
yourself formally. Formally doesnt mean hiring blazers, shirts, shoes
and ties and become.
Just have a clean dress that bears the testimony that
you are providing importance on the subject. Never loose your style . If you have panjabi.
or hijab that itself is smart as well
