Getting Started!

Have you ever worked very hard to develop and deliver a presentation or poster session, only to have the sense that your audience wasn't paying attention? Or worse, giving your work a poor grade!

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • Words, words, words -- all over the slide?
  • Graphics and images that are too immature or inappropriate? Or don't reflect your message?
  • Reading the words on the screen to your audience?
  • Looking at the screen instead of at the audience?
  • Failing to provide the audience with a map of where the presentation is going?

From this list it is easy to see how a well-researched and prepared presentation can fail! Don't worry - many presenters make these easy-to-correct presentation mishaps. See Presenting Without A Net: If You Want People to Listen to You, You Have to Stop Reading to Them

This resource guide gathers together tips and resources for developing and delivering creative and powerful presentations that reflect all your work!
