Proven Tips to Make an Effective Presentation

Are you sure that your presentations are good enough for 2020? The idea that we live in a highly-competitive time is not new. Still, better pay your attention that we also live in a time when lots of everything is available for our usage. That means that unique presentations, just like responsive websites, are taken for granted. Now, your audience is very likely not to forgive you standard (wordy - don’t you dare, please!) slides and plain content. We’ve searched and gathered the rules on how to make an effective presentation. Don’t hesitate to look at them precisely!

• Rule #1. Engage with your content

Your content is first of all. Keep it interesting, well-structured and clear.

Try to give your audience something that will prevent them from scrolling their phones while your presentation. And, if they unblocked them, - just to take photos of your slides but not to check Facebook tab.

To make the listeners to get involved in what you show them, put up with the fact that people do not want to think and bother. If something seems far from their understanding is not their fault but yours. Yet, your task is to change their mind, showing that the main point of what you talk about and show is what they need.

• Rule #2. Visible text

48% of people get irritated seeing too small fonts in presentations. You can come up with a brilliant text for each slide, but all your creativity will go down the drain if this text cannot be read.

• Rule #3. Use appropriate fonts

Fonts really matter. Trying to present your text content as good as it’s possible, remember, there’s a fine line between contrast highlighted parts and those that look distracting or even worse - ridiculous. For example, stockpiling of romantic italics wouldn’t match business presentations and so on.

Choosing a font for your Google presentation, look on the Web what’s popular, what’s not. The year 2020 is going to continue praising bold, clean, contrast typography (with metallic elements?).

So, up to creativeboom.com, in 2020 you can’t miss 20 fonts listed below:

• Helvetica Now;
• Aeonik;
• NewsSans;
• Beatrice Display;
• Untitled Sans;
• Gilroy;
• DIN Next;
• Recoleta;
• Fann Grotesque;
• Doyle;
• Visuelt;
• Silk Serif;
• Nib;
• Avenir Next;
• Harriet;
• Neue Haas Grotesk;
• Coign;
• TT Norms Pro;
• FF Mark;
• Albertus Nova.

Moreover, have you heard about the experiment by The New York Times “Are you an optimist or pessimist?”

Everyone from the participants had to read a short book excerpt and answer a few of yes/no questions.

The main idea of such an observation was to determine if font could influence the trust of readers and how an attitude to a text can be changed or not.

As for the result, the texts that are written in Comic Sans and Helvetica fonts did not inspire confidence among readers, but the Baskerville font, on the contrary, received approval. According to psychologists, this was because of its formal appearance.

• Rule #4. Add some jokes and be yourself

To explain the tip on how to make effective presentations, I would like to highlight that the most important is not to lie to your audience. Maybe, it sounds trite. However, an interactive performance in front of lots of people means that they can ask mostly anything. So, if you don’t want to hide behind the phrases, like, “unfortunately, this question is beyond our topic” (when it’s not appropriate), be careful with the info on slides and in your speech. Just be sincere!

As to jokes during Google Slides presentations, watch/ watch again/ watch more TEDx Talks! Even the greatest specialists, the coolest speakers can get in some uncomfortable situation. Still, it’s not a problem at all for a person with a good sense of humor who can laugh at what happens to them.

• Rule #5. Visualize

We all perceive information differently. When you ask someone to make something, be sure that this person can’t read your minds. So, you better explain everything in examples. Even the same words word, like “beautiful”, for several people means varied things.

Therefore, to make a good performance in the public, pick out purposed illustrations. They can help you to say less and achieve better results. All the visuals you insert to your Google Slides presentation should be bright and detailed.

Here, there are 5 necessary pictures that are recommended to be demonstrated while presentations:  

1) you/ your team/ your company

2) your product

3) the benefits of your product

4) your clients

5) indicators of your success

• Rule #6. Make everything easier to understand 

So, don’t overload your Google Slides presentation with everything possible and impossible. Keep the text on the slides laconic and also choose a big size of the font. Remember about the human attention span that lasts even less than 9 seconds. It proves that some of your listeners may become sleeping beauties.

Of course, there are multiple presentations on different topics. Still, they are targeted on showing something at the best light. The best number of slides, which is enough to introduce the audience to your project/ product/ startup plan, is 10/15 slides. Such an amount is also ideal not to let your listeners get bored.

The minimalistic style of your Google Slides presentation will be also attractive to watch from the screen, and clear enough to get the main point.

• Rule #7. Rehearse your performance

At last, when the toughest work is done, the only thing you need to do is to rehearse your performance in the public.

Just think for a while, if you don’t have time to polish your speech against the slideshow, why other people should devote their attention to it?

Be assured you know the answers to the next questions: how will you come out? what will you say for the first?

And, of course, do not read from slides! This way of presenting information kills the interest of your audience. The same, don’t be afraid to show your individuality. If it’s appropriately, use some good jokes to let the listeners have a little break.
