Last weeks workshop was great we learnt about making presentations and then got to work on developing our presentation ready for the next workshop.
These are the steps for making a great presentation, whether it is a 2 hour or full day workshop this will put you in good stead. If only I knew this in October when I presented at uni!
1. Braindump of content - write down everything you think you might want to share
2. Write down the outcome - What do I want them to do with this info? What si the next step for my audience? What do you want them to do at the end of the presentation? Is it to support and idea; adopt a recommendation; or think differntly?
3. Filter your content based on what is the outcome for the audience. Dos it relate to our goal? Remove unnecessary ideas / add better ideas.
4. Structure the presentation to create a powerful message.
We were presented with a variation on the 4Mat system - which is a model for delivering training.
This was very powerful and allowed us to structure our presentation in a way that makes sense and focuses on the outcome we want.
It was amazing to see how long it took to do the introduction (WHY?) - nearly 2 hours putting 7 sentences together! But boy it really introduced the presentation well.
I am really excited by this model and have shared it with some colleagues already and its made me think about getting into a developing training and finding a job where I can do this - may just be a dream!
