Another Great Presentation Skills Infographic
Despite having said in an earlier post that I am not a great fan of Infographics, I wanted to share a new presentation skills infographic that was sent to me by Clem Lepers, entitled “9 Tips for an effective presentation“.
It has some excellent content and tips and is well worth a look if you are keen to improve your speaking and presenting abilities.
includes useful sections on…
- Know your audience
- Define your goals
- Craft a compelling message
- Create an outline
- Arrange slide elements
- Build a theme
- Use visual elements
- hook your audience quickly
- Measure effectiveness
In conclusion,
the advice contained in this infographic is generally sound although I have some reservations about the claim in point 7 that only 40% of people respond better to visual information than plain text. I would have expected the figure to be nearer 80% based on my personal experience.
Unfortunately, the data sources have not been referenced making it difficult to check the origins and validity of the quoted statistics.
