Off Topic I'm feeling really down now

I'm sure Tees will do better than this ...

... pretty much how I am when I accept a job I'm totally unqualified for

 

Probably too late but I do a lot of presentations
The key is all in the preparation.
Keep it simple - no one likes a smart arse.
Know what you are going to say - dont just repeat what is on the slides & practice.
Maximum 6 slides - less if it's to a director.
Be prepared for stupid or challenging questions.

I'm sure you nailed it

 

Chester Bennington added to that list too for me. All three fantastic. Can’t believe they’re gone.

Hope you’re well @Teessidemackem

 

All the best @Teessidemackem lad

 

Hope it went well @Teessidemackem I’m sure you smashed it

 

I must have presented thousands over the years, some great advice on here.
Have a meanigful title slide with subtle animation, merging colours for example, that should be on before they enter the room and whilst you introduce yourself and the topic.
Never ever just read whats on the slides, use bullit points to remind you of what to say, no more than 6 per slide.
NEVER EVER present Death by PowerPoint (A slide with a lots of text, a paragraph does not belong on a slide)
Charts and graphs should explain themselves but you have to use them to support your argument/hypothesis/point in a summery "As you can see from the chart...." etc ect
Apear confident, even if you're quaing in your boots.
Remember, your introducing them to something they don't know about, so YOU are the expert, not them.
Do not rush through it, take your time, and pause when you ask a question, give them time to think, it puts YOU in control, not them.

Bdest of luck and I hope it went well, sorry for the late advice.

 

My exact playbook.

6 slides excluding title slide, with information that reminds you what you want to speak.

Don’t put your golden parts on the slides. Talk openly on them.

I still ****ing hate doing presentations mind even after 15-20 years. I’m comfortable doing them now but I will always prefer one on one and small groups.

 

Come on mate, we're all waiting to hear what happened.

 

Could be he's really got into the swing of it, and it's still going on.

 

Yeah i smashed it thankyou all.

I just havent felt like posting much. Im disheartened with the place lately and the way good posters like #blonde bombshell are getting banned for no reason

 

From here? What for?

 

Good to hear, Tees

Blondie's back so all's well now

 

All is well marra, glad to hear you smashed it. Thanks for the kind words in support, I nearly had a tear in my eye

 

Why did you get banned?

If you don't mind me asking of course.

 

It's probably best that you don't ask (well you already have, but forget it)
