Presentation Skills Resources ...

(Many of these resources are used or explained in Performance People's Professional Presentation Skills workshop series.)

Exemplars on Video

Here are some excellent presentations available on the Internet:

Barack Obama on election night 4/11/08 - especially from 12:40 minutes, when he talks about Ann Nixon Cooper.

Kevin Rudd's Apology to the Stolen Generations.

Advice for Presenters

And here is some advice for the budding and experienced presenter:

Tips on How to Present Like Steve Jobs, at BNET, CBS's business network website.

10 Tips for Public Speaking from the experts at Toastmasters International.

More tips from observing Steve Jobs, by social media commentator Dan Zarrella at Fast Company.

A short post by Kit at SlideShare about connecting with your audience before talking about your own stuff.

Presentation Storyboard Template

Before preparing slides for an important presentation, it is useful to plan using storyboards. The template provided here has been developed by Performance People for use in the workshop Making Presentations that Work. Click here to download the template: Template for Storyboards.doc

Slide:ologyhttp://slideology.com/book/

Samples of book content from Nancy Duart's excellent book <i>Slide:ology; The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations</i>. This book is about creative presentations, and particularly the creative use of PowerPoint to get your message across. (My favourite is 192 - Creating Scenes, Not Slides, which inspired me to change an existing presentation of project management quotes to incorporate fat and skinny pipes which are followed by the presentation as it meanders from slide to slide - see it here. You need to download the file and run it as a slideshow to get the full impact.)

Slidesharehttp://www.slideshare.net/

Slideshare is a place to share slideshows with the online world. I have read and enjoyed many presentations here. Particular favourites are Brain Rules for Presenters and Mr Presentation.

Performance People slideshows can be accessed by clicking here. And are here:
