HINTS FOR GIVING AN EFFECTIVE TALK

Keep it simple and short Know your audience and environment

Look at your audienceUse effective slidesDeliver with passion and sense of humor

HINTS FOR GIVING EFFECTIVE TALK

Pauses are better than “ahm “, “ok”, ”you know”.

A slide should have no more than six to seven lines of text.

A blind person should be able to listen to your talk and get a reasonably good idea of what the talk is about

Sometimes hard to grasp...

If presented badly, your ideas are

worthless. If you abuse your audience, your ideas are

worthless.

Generally...

Listening is not easy Paying attention is even harderYou need audience's full

attention to getyour ideas acrossSo...
