quick look at
mistakes to avoid
in a presentation

10. Um, Er, Ugh…
No idea what to say?
Mistake 1:
You just don’t know your topic

11. Or you memorized every bit of it
And now spewing it all out
Blah, Blah, Blah…

12. ESSENTIAL TIP:
Be FAMILIAR with the TOPIC,
Don’t memorize

13. Memorizing will lead to
dressing your turkey with ice
cream toppings.
Knowing it all well ^ _ ^
Presenting it all wrong!!

14. Or Questions will leave you
“THUNDERSTRUCK!!!”

15. ESSENTIAL TIP:
Dig in deep. Be ready.
Face the questions with answers.

16. Mistake 2:
Your slides are at fault
Is it too exotic to be true?
This happens when you’ve
mismatched your story and the
topic.

17. ESSENTIAL TIP:
Stick to your main point.
Prepare your story slides the way
they match with your topic.

18. Are you offering INFORMATION OVERLOAD??
Each slide looks like –
A 500 pages long fiction Or
A 1000 pages long user manual

19. Don’t overburden your slides
with Information.
Stick to one message per slide
Don’t OVERFILL your slides

20. Give information in
smaller chunks.
Don’t Add
Details…Details…Details…

21. Your presentation also has a verbal part, if you’ll fit
in all the information on the slides, there’s be no
more any need to speak.
Your slides are your visual aids
not the whole show.

22. Keep words simple,
sentences uncomplicated.
Avoid bigger paragraphs,
use bullets.

23. Don’t force your audience to take ASPRIN
Is reading your fonts a stressful
exercise for eyes?

24. Don’t create a modern art
with your font typeface.
Keep them
STRAIGHTFORWARD

25. Your fonts aren’t super models.
Don’t size them “ZERO FIGURE”
Don’t make them “ILLEGIBLE”

26. Presentation is not the
place to play with colors.
Don’t ELECTRIFY your
audience with gaudy colors.
Keep them sober, serene,
soothing.

27. Mistake 3:
You don’t carry yourself well.
What kind of presenter you are?
Cool, Boring Or Professional

28. Don’t present in a hurry, you’re missing
your flight, are you?
If you’ve to board the next flight, better
leave the presentation for someone else.

29. Deliver. Don’t Rush. Don’t make waves for
your audience.
Speaking super fast may skip out the core
message from reaching your audience.

30. ESSENTIAL TIP:
Maintain a pace, practice before
the actual presentation.
Record your voice and listen how
fast you speak.

31. Do you inspire your audience to
fall asleep?
Are you too slow?

32. Does it ever happen that
when you start telling a
thing, it has already
appeared on the slides?
This will surely make
people fall asleep!

33. ESSENTIAL TIP:
Be clear with what to speak. Make
a mental picture.
This will help you speak with
power and authority.

34. What is your style?
A Slouch Supermodel Business Executive

35. Neither be a slouch nor a model.
Being executive is a better option.
But, trying to be a speaker at the
first is the best.
If you’ll be slouch, nobody will pay
attention to you. If you’re a super-model
Type, you’ll be a show stealer, but you’ll
steal the effect of your message too.

36. ESSENTIAL TIPS:
1. Dress right, speak bright.
2. Avoid sluggish clothes, voguish
hair style, jingling jewelry, and
unprofessional get up.
3. Take a shower, dress right, look
elegant. Make sure your
audience focus on your message
and not on you.
