Verbal vs Written
![Page 4: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Advantages of Verbal CommunicationOver Written Communication
• The Message is Personal
– Although today's technology drives much of
the world's communication, at times it leaves
out a very important human element --- the art
of real conversation.
– Verbal communication offers a stronger sense
of belonging to the subject and to the person
to whom you are communicating.
![Page 5: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Advantages of Verbal CommunicationOver Written Communication
• The Message is Heard
– The advantage of verbal communication
opposed to written communication is that you
are better able to distinguish the message by
the tone of the person's voice.
– Like body language, a person's tone of voice
can offer much more information than the
message itself.
![Page 6: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Advantages of Verbal CommunicationOver Written Communication
• The Message is Open for Dialogue– Although you might be better able to organize
your thoughts on paper, the impact might not be as powerful as it could have been if you were to have opened up a verbal dialogue.
• The Message Demonstrates Respect– Verbal communication demonstrates a certain
sign of fairness and respect, especially when the message you are communicating is a sensitive one.

Why presentations like this must be
face to face?
![Page 8: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Written Communications - Pros
• Written communication helps in laying down
apparent principles, policies and rules for
running of an organization.
• It is a permanent means of communication. Thus,
it is useful where record maintenance is required.
• It assists in proper delegation of responsibilities.
While in case of oral communication, it is
impossible to fix and delegate responsibilities on
the grounds of speech as it can be taken back
by the speaker or he may refuse to acknowledge.

Written Communications - Pros
• Written communication is more precise and explicit.
• Effective written communication develops and enhances an organization’s image.
• It provides ready records and references.
• Legal defenses can depend upon written communication as it provides valid records.

Written Communications - Cons
• Written communication does not save upon the
costs. It costs huge in terms of stationery and
the manpower employed in writing/typing and
delivering letters.
• Also, if the receivers of the written message are
separated by distance and if they need to clear
their doubts, the response is not spontaneous.
• Written communication is time-consuming as the
feedback is not immediate. The encoding and
sending of message takes time.

Written Communications - Cons
• Effective written communication requires great skills and competencies in language and vocabulary use.
• Poor writing skills and quality have a negative impact on organization’s reputation.
• Too much paper work and e-mails burden is involved.

What happens this year?
![Page 16: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What’s changed?
• Number of users?

• Changing consumer behavior
• Online social demographics?
• China?

6 reasons for
face-to-face
presenting is
more persuasive
![Page 18: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
1. Reciprocation - we feel some
obligation to return favors.
• If a person has made the effort to prepare and
deliver a face-to-face presentation, we are likely
to reciprocate by carefully considering what they
say. We owe them that.
• When I watch a presentation online and the
presenter fails to engage me I have no
hesitation in clicking away.

2. Commitment & consistency –
if people make a commitment,
they are likely to follow through • Attending a live presentation and devoting
time to it, is a form of commitment. So in order to act consistently with that commitment, audience members may be more likely to take action based on the presentation.

3. Social proof – we look to other
people as peers behavior
• Being part of an audience is a very different experience to watching a video of the same presentation online by yourself.
• Some reporters go to press conferences just to find out what others are writing.

4. Authority – we tend to obey
authority figures
• Are we more likely to judge someone as authoritative when we see them face to face?

5. Liking – we’re more easily
persuaded by people we like.
• Deciding whether we like someone we’ve seen or met online, takes time.
• Meeting people face-to-face, we can make millisecond judgments about whether we like them.
![Page 23: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
6. Scarcity – believing something
is scarce makes us want it.
• A live presentation is by definition scarce –being part of it is to feel part of something exclusive and special.
• When we see something on the internet, in most cases, we know that it’s also available to millions of other people –nothing special or exclusive about that.

General Rules in PPT
presentation preparing
(slides)
![Page 25: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
General Rules
• Remember KISS: Keep It Short and Simple. Your slides should include the key points only, with one idea per slide.
• A good rule of thumb is to have about one slide per minute. A 15- to 20-minute presentation would have about 20 slides maximum.
![Page 26: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Avoid complex sentence
![Page 27: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
6 x 6 rule
• 6 words per line x 6 lines per page
![Page 28: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Large font for title
• Usually 32 to 44 for headlines
• No less than 28 for text
![Page 29: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Consistency
• Don’t use different fonts, colour and size (unless it’s for a reason)
![Page 30: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Action words
• Use verb to start off your bullet points
• It gives the audience a sense of action
![Page 31: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Can people read?
• Do you really need to fill your page with so much statistics?
![Page 32: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Use data label
• Numbers mean a lot to reporters
![Page 33: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Citation
• It is important to list down the source because the reporter will quote you otherwise
![Page 34: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

1. Select or create your own theme.
• Clarity iswhat youshould belookingfor
![Page 42: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
2. Use Audio and Visual
• A recorded clip
• A youtube video
• A sound bite from a famous public figure
• An illustration of complex concept
• A track of music
• These are all tools you can use to make your presentation more lively
![Page 43: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
3. Use pictures and graphs to illustrate
key points
• A picture is worth a thousand words
• Why write when you can draw?
![Page 44: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
4. Use animation wisely
• It’s a nice touch, but don’t over kill because you don’t want audience to focus on your images over your content.
![Page 45: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
5. Outline your ppt
• Do you really need so many slides?
![Page 46: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
6. Use masters and layouts to save
time and better results
![Page 47: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
7. Consider difference between on
screen and printed presentations
• Know whether the audience will be given a printed copy of the presentation
• Things to avoid include:
– Dark background colour
– Animation and special effects
– Hyperlink (if necessary, include URL)
– Fonts that may become unreadable when
printed on paper
![Page 48: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
8. Stay in control of your ppt
• Tell people, including yourself where you are in a presentation…including the end.
![Page 49: Ouhk comm6005 lecture 4 what makes face-to-face presentations effective](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5538f390550346653f8b4900/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
