Even greatest ideas are useless if you don’t share them. Thanks to your talks: your ideas are formed you communicate them to others you get feedbacks you meet new people you get new ideas ALWAYS try to go on stage with your ideas no matter how minor they may seem to you! Communication is a part of scientific work
Many think there’s no sense in learning a good style of presentations. Just get ready with slides, list results, give a conclusion and answer questions. It’s easy!!! But is it? ? ? Only very few people can give a good talk even if they have what to say! Is it necessary to learn how to give a talk?
Preparation of a good talk To prepare a one-minute talk requires several hours of pre-work 1. what is the purpose of it? 2. what to include (what –not)? 3. what sort of slides do I need? 4. how to give my talk?
The aim of your talk is… …not to 1. 2. 3. Impress the audience Tell everything you know Give all the points in detail
The aim of your talk is… 1. 2. 3. 4. To make the audience listen to you To deliver the message To make the audience study the topic further To give them enough information to estimate the problem
Your real audience… 1. 2. 3. Has never heard about you Doesn’t care what you are talking about Has just had lunch and would like to nap a bit Your target is to wake them up and grab all their attention
The idea must be repeated Constantly deliver your idea within the whole speech • Remember: people have different level of perception. When some have already forgotten what you said, others have just caught it. • You work for all these different people. •
Your preparation Your first steps are: Select only one main idea Try to understand what the audience wants from you 3. State the aim of your talk 4. Make a clear structure of your presentation 1. 2.
Number of slides 1. 2. One slide – one minute Ten minutes of your talk – ten or twelve slides
What’s there on the slides Mostly visuals (they are more informative than words)
Simplicity Explain your idea in a few words so that everyone could understand it 2. Support your words with slides 3. Address to the whole audience but not a part of it. 1.
Organization The audience must any minute know what you are now talking about 2. Roadmap: we were there, we are here, we will be there 3. Divide your talk into certain parts with their own subtopics. 1.
Structure 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Introduce yourself What? State a problem What for? What? The main result How? Details What? Conclusion
Introduction That’s the main part of your presentation. If you fail to attract the audience with your first words, you may leave immediately: they have already made their impression of you and will hardly change it.
Main idea Decide what the audience must “take” from your speech and what just may. Never let them choose this main idea by themselves. You are the only leader here. They are just your guests, so you must entertain them but rule the holiday as you want it.
Remember: You know perfectly well what you are talking about. The audience may hear about it for the first time. • Give examples. • Emphasize the most important points with the help of your voice, intonation, signal words. •
Conclusion Once again give the main points. Mention any possibilities of using your idea by the audience. • Outline your further work on this topic. • •
Don’ts 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. I didn’t have enough time to… I had some problems with my computer… I have now time to tell you about it. I’m not sure you’ll catch… I suppose that’s a wrong place to tell about…
Enthusiasm… “Nothing important would be obtained without enthusiasm” Ralf Emerson If you don’t adore your presentation, don’t expect it from your audience. • Always smile and be positive. • Don’t be shy. • The audience always feels the mood and confidence of the speaker. •
Do’s Learn not the speech but only the plan of it. Speak loudly, clearly, not to yourself but to the audience. • Speak at a natural pace. • Use gestures and move. • •
Respect the audience Be sure, people really can read. So, never read your slides. • Keep eye-contact. • Speak with pauses for the audience to have time to realise what you’ve just said. •
Questions Be ready to hear and answer not only sensible questions, but also silly and sometimes even aggressive. • Always be polite. That’s your best protection. • Never leave any question without an answer. •
Finish Clearly point out the end of your speech. Thank everyone for attention. State your main idea once again. If time is over, move to the conclusion. Apologise for not coping with time. • Never try to give the whole presentation when the time is over: the audience is tired and won’t listen to you. • •
