  • Page 60: Guide To Effective Presentations

    Guide to Effective Presentations Yellow on Black E-59 Electronic presentations are one of the most effective tools presenters can use to persuade an audience. There are several ways to enhance your presentation and maximize your effectiveness. The following are guidelines to help you create and deliver a dynamic presentation.
  • Page 61 Guide to Effective Presentations Blue Green Black Sans-serif Serif • Background colors can subconsciously affect the audience: Red—increases viewers’ pulse and breathing and encourages risk taking but can also be associated with financial loss. Blue—has a calming and conservative affect on the audience but can also create boredom among corporate audiences that are often inundated with this background color.
  • Page 62 Guide to Effective Presentations Good Presentation from SHARP E-61 c. Set-Up Good When giving a presentation, you need to set the stage both figuratively and literally for success. The way you set up a presentation room will have a great impact on the audience’s perception of you and your message.
  • Page 63 Guide to Effective Presentations d. Rehearsing & Delivery • The best time to rehearse is the day or evening before, not a couple of hours before, and the best place to rehearse is in the actual room. Rehearsing a speech in a small office is not the same as standing up in front of 100 people in a hotel ballroom or classroom.
