In this show, Andy explains how to produce presentations that deliver the results you want - every time.
Andy’s top tips include:
- THINK WHAT YOU WANT THE AUDIENCE TO DO AFTER YOUR PRESENTATION - that will help you plan your content
- ENGAGE THE AUDIENCE FROM THE OUTSET BY STRESSING THE ‘AFTERS’ - start by telling the audience what they’ll be able to do after they’ve heard you
- BASE YOUR PRESENTATION TITLE ON THESE ‘AFTERS’
- VIEW POWERPOINT LIKE THE ‘TWO RONNIES’ - you are one and PowerPoint is the other, don’t say the same thing as the other Ronnie!
