Editor's Notes
- What is – is this how you feel now? Will have to get over it – presentations in classroom, job interviews, work, conferences, etc.
- What could be – after using these techniques you will feel calm and confident before a presentation
- Four takeaways: How to prepare How to practice How to make it more peaceful/less stressful Successful performance
- Good presentations take time to prepare, much longer than writing a paper
- Where are you presenting? Why are you presenting? What would you like the audience to take away?
- Gather information on your topic – tip: read one article/book section/website, watch a video, etc. every day leading up to presentation Library resources – more credible than Google – don’t want to give bad info to teacher, interviewer, audience, etc.
- Mind mapping Figure out what tool is best to bring it all together: PPT, Prezi, Haiku Deck, CC images (Google, Flickr), Slideshare
- What is what could be Visual
- KISS Don’t memorize a speech!
- Observe other skilled presenters (Ted, MLK, Slideshare, YouTube)
- Questions on this section
- Any skill takes practice – we had to learn to write, to play a sport, speak a language, etc.
- Practice with a friend if possible – need to run through the whole sequence – study rooms here! Video yourself if you can’t
- Problems with pitch/pace/volume – marker in mouth Problems with pacing – trash can/barrier Problems with um/uh/like – friend makes noise Problems with eye contact – pick point on far wall
- Questions
- Many strategies for reducing anxiety
- Exercise at some point during the day before if possible (endorphins, stress reliever)
- Simple meditation – set timer on phone or Google for 2-5 minutes, breathe in and say word calm – out and say word success – or words of choice If you have thoughts that’s okay – when you catch them remind yourself to focus on the breath
- Watch/do something that makes you laugh
