Rule 1: Plan & Practice
Without planning, presentations appear thrown together
Without practice you appear unprepared
11
Rule 2: Use the Spell-Checker
There is no excuse for misspelling!
Why should your customer trust your engineering quality if you have no
quality control over your presentation?
13
Rule 4: Avoid "um", "and uh", "ya know", etc.
This habit stems from not practicing enough (see rule #1)
Slow down your speech Deliberate as you speak Don’t apologize for being nervous
Your audience will appreciate your delivery much more
14
Rule 5: Be Honest and Forthright
Fallacy: "If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with BS.” - Hoyle
People know when they are being bamboozled
Speak with sincerity and integrity If you don’t know the answer to a
question, admit it
15
Rule 6: Display Confidence
Expect to be challenged on your ideas Don’t take questions as a personal attack
Defensive Response = Added Attack Open Response = Greater Latitude
16
Rule 7: Don’t be Apathetic or Nonchalant
If you don’t care, why should your customer care?
If you don’t care, why should your manager support you?
If you don’t care, why should your audience listen?
An apathetic presentation is a waste of everyone’s time
17
Rule 8: Show Professional Courtesy
Be on time for other presentations Give your full attention to the
presentations of others Avoid an air of aloofness or
unpreparedness
18
Rule 9: Anticipate Questions
You know your design better than anyone Think about the parts which will
raise questions Think about the areas in your presentation
which may be unclear. Plan ahead (see rule1) and prepare some
holdback slides Demonstrate foresight and initiative.
19
Rule 10: Expect Equipment Failure
Fancy equipment is impressive...unless it doesn't work!
Know how to use your equipment Keep a set of hardcopy slides just in
case Have an extra bulb for the overhead
projector
20
Rule 11: Design Readable Slides
20 point font size or larger 7 bullets or less 7 words per bullet or less Separate complex ideas onto multiple slides
This presentation uses 32 point Arial font
21
Rule 12: Dress Professionally
Professional Appearance =
cleanliness + neatness + clothing + posture Appearance defines first impressions Professional appearance commands
greater respect from the audience Professional appearance implies that
the speaker takes the presentation seriously
