Week 05- clear: Presentations

Week 05 we covered a lot of information of presentations. We went over many different factors to avoid death by power point! Some of the most crucial information in regards to presentations is making sure that you speak and then show it versus reading all your bullet points right off your interview. This is a recipe for disaster if you want a successful presentation. Another thing to do when making a presentation is to make sure to capture the audiences attention with in the first thirty to sixty seconds as this is crucial to keeping them focused!

One way to capture the audiences attention quick is by starting your presentation with a video. this automatically makes the reader watch and listen what he or she is witnessing versus not even bothering to look at non captivating power point slides.
When making a presentation one should also try to provide various forms of media within it to keep the viewer focused as well.

Overall i feel like i learned a lot after completing my presentation project and completing this weeks material because presentations are play a vital role in the business world and communicating your ideas or presentations effectively can mean the difference between losing a job and getting promoted.

Below is a helpful video with a few pointers on making presentations, enjoy!
