___ General Speaker Memo

 

• Do not focus more than 2min. on company information

• Use images where you can

• Do not include too much text in your slides as it            makes it difficult to read

• Focus on real examples and avoid theory

• Showcase the problem, the solution and the result

• Create a situation where delegates can practically             use what they learned

• The audience will only remember 3 messages and            35% of what you say

• After a presentation, 63% of attendees remember stories. Only 5% remember statistics

___ Checklist

 

Being prepared is key to making sure that you’ll be confident when giving your presentation.

 

This will help you get your point across in a transparent manner, without over-explaining things.

 

PREPARE YOURSELF

 

Offline public speaking and online conferences are

two different things.You don’t need to worry about anything as our production team are here to look after the technical side enabling you to focus on delivering your message.

 

You need to be aware of everything around you, the           event’s schedule, the Q&A session, etc.

 

• Prepare your Voice (drink tea with lemon or honey)

• Check what’s Behind you (no teddy bears or family photos)

• Prepare your Content & Practice

• Learn about the Programme/ Audience

• Calendar check-in (be ready 30min. beforehand)

​​

THE PRESENTATION

 

People need to be able to understand your message from       the very start, so they don’t get bored.

 

• Use Images

• Killer Title and Description​

• Create a Script - start with the big picture and                slowly move to more detailed information.                          Talk about successes/ failures/ mistakes.​

• Every Slide should have a Goal/ Reason

• You're welcome to do some short survey's/ polls, please send questions to michael.nielsen@teneoevents.eu
