Module Two.....

Having succeeded in improving performance beyond most delegates expectations in Module One, delegates begin to realise that good presentations and speeches are achieved by putting the emphasis on delivery first and foremost.  Only after the person has reached a good standard of presentation should consideration be given to support material in the form of visual aids.

A PowerPoint presentation can then be thought through to support and enhance the speaker's information

 
Module Two adds to the speaker's knowledge by introducing the structure of planning and preparation for a presentation and the structure of the actual presentation.  In planning, always prepare your Objective first, don't try to write an Opener first.  This comes later.  Prepare the presentation for your audience - not for yourself.
 
Research your audience, study your speaking environment and consider the need for PowerPoint slides and only use if absolutely sure they will enhance your presentation.
 
The three criteria for your slides are
  • Colourful
  • Creative
  • Pictorial
Always ask yourself initially, "Do I really need slides?"  Remember, if you only speak to a set of bullet points this will not result in a good performance and opportunities will be lost.  If there is material to read on screen, your audience will read rather than listen and you the speaker become somewhat redundant to the presentation.
 
Chris Downing will show you how to create value added visual aids that wake up the audience and support the message of the speakers strongly.  Learn how to insert appropriate video clips and digital effects that enhance and underline those important messages.
 
Module Two includes sessions on using digital technologies to create visual aids, audience analysis methods, basic script writing guidance, and use of all the equipment and facilities at a major event such as video and audio systems.  And many more practise opportunities, role plays, video feedback and supportive analysis and evaluation.
