Simplicity
Simple doesn't mean stupid.
Audiences appreciate when a presenter presents information with their lack of knowledge about the subject in mind.
Content
When designing your presentation, try to think of three things you want your audience to take away.
Remember: If your presentation isn't based on solid content, you won't succeed.
Make sure you can pass the elevator test. If you can "sell" your message in 30-45 seconds, you have passed.
That said, you don't want too much content. If you do have too much, your audience might get bored.
Great content isn't the determining factor to a great presentation. While it helps, if your presentation lacks, your audience will forget the content.
Organization
Find a balance in the amount of content to keep your audience engaged.
Before you get to creating your PowerPoint, plan it out.
Don't be afraid to use pen and paper and write down your thoughts.
Develop a clear structure that makes sense to your audience. Don't jump around from point to point. Make sure the audience can follow your logic
Make sure to make it so your point is relevant. What will your audience think? Will they appreciate it, or is it just fluff? Ask yourself, so what?
Know your audience
1-2-3 Magic!
Who is your audience?
What are their backgrounds and how much background information can you assume they know about your presentation?
What is the purpose of your presentation?
Is it to inspire? Is your audience looking for facts? Do they want more concepts and theory, rather than advice?
The three steps to designing an effective PowerPoint are:
Why were you asked to speak?
What are their expectations of you?
Prepare: Plan out what you what the audience to take away
Design: Craft an effective PowerPoint that will convey your ideas
Deliver: Act confident will delivering your presentation to give your audience a chance to engage.
Storytelling
This is your opportunity to tell your story!
Design your talk backwards
Audiences love personal anecdotes, use them!
Be confident in yourself!
Ask yourself:
This is your chance to tell people about something you love, so make them love it too!
What do you want your audience to take away from your presentation?
Then:
Plan where you want to go, then figure out the route to get there.
Always start with the end in mind
