The Many Ways on How to Share Powerpoint Presentations

Not a lot of people actually know that there are multiple ways on how to share Powerpoint presentation. It doesn't have to be available on demand only, and its accessibility makes it one of the most effective methods of communication in the media.

So how can you exactly share your information in the Powerpoint presentation?

1. Save and store them in CDs. If you're coming with kits for your products, then your product Powerpoint presentation is a perfect addition. You can save them in CDs, which you can distribute during your product launches. Moreover, just in case you're worrying that it's going to be double work for you, you can simply make use of the one you've created, so you don't have to make a completely different presentation to give away.

2. Send them through e-mail. Just think of spam e-mails. Some of them contain Powerpoint presentations and are dropped into your mailbox, hoping that you will be able to share it with others or that you will watch it yourself and take their bait. You're not going to do the same thing with your clients or even with your bosses, but you can still e-mail your Powerpoint templates, especially if you have various offices located in different parts of the world. Unlike MP3 and video files, Powerpoint presentations are a lot smaller in file size, so they can be sent conveniently through e-mail. You, however, should cut down on the number of slides or Powerpoint templates or the use of too much animation if the file size exceeds to 5MB, which is the average accepted limit for an attached file per e-mail. Otherwise, you need to break the Powerpoint presentations to different parts.

3. Convert them to web-accessible presentations. If you want to know how to share Powerpoint presentation to the public, then you're in luck. There are a lot of ways to do that, but the easiest is converting them to an HTML version. This by far is the only effective way to ensure that the Powerpoint presentations, together with the Powerpoint templates, can be read directly on the screen. The users who already have a Powerpoint application installed in their computer will be able to see the file immediately and move from one slide to another. Those who don't can utilize Microsoft Internet Explorer, which has a Powerpoint plug-in installed. Otherwise, you may have to download it from Microsoft's Help page, and install it manually into your computer. Nevertheless, the process doesn't take long to complete.

4. Archive them into your network. Usually, a company will have its own network database, which can be accessed by any person who needs references or information, or by persons who are authorized to make use of them. You can simply place the Powerpoint presentation into a Shared folder to make them more accessible, or you can identify the computers or the individuals that can open them.

The next time you're going to create a Powerpoint presentation, don't delete it right away. You can share it in different ways, making information not only useful today but also in the future.

How To Prepare An Outstanding Presentation In Thirty Minutes Or Less

It's 2 p.m. and your manager walks up to you with that look on his face. He announces that the company president wants you to give a presentation to him concerning the high profile project you have been working on�and he wants the presentation to start in thirty minutes. Now you have a look on your face as if you had just seen a ghost.

No problem. The following are seven secrets to preparing an outstanding presentation when you have less than thirty minutes:

1. You Don't Need the Perfect Presentation

Get started! Don't freeze expecting perfection. When you think you need to be perfect, this can lead to paralysis. Management realizes, because of the short time period, that you will not be perfect. The key is to work quickly, not frantically.

2. Start With an End in Mind

Ask yourself, "What do I want to accomplish with my presentation?" Do you want to persuade, entertain, or move the audience to action? Once you have these answers, work to develop your presentation to achieve these goals.

3. It's About the Audience

Ask the following questions:

* "Who is my audience?

* "What does the audience want?"

* "What does the audience want to gain from the speech?"

* "What is the level of expertise of the audience members?"

Once you have the answers to these questions, you can tailor your speech to meet the audience's needs.

4. Keep It Simple

Don't be overwhelmed with information overhaul. Keep your presentation clear and concise by focusing on three main points. This will save you time when collecting your backup information.

5. Make an Outline

Create an outline of your speech. Depending on your own individual thought process, you may want to mind map, a freestyle way of putting ideas together, or outline. Outline your beginning, body with three points, and ending.

6. Start and End Strong

Concentrate on knowing the beginning and ending of your presentation. Feel confident in giving the beginning of your presentation, and you will become more comfortable giving the rest of your speech. End on a strong note because your speech ending will be the last thing your audience will remember about your presentation.

7. Your Presentation Starts in the Mind

Find five minutes before your presentation; go to a quiet place, if possible; and meditate. Think about the positive results of your presentation. Visualize your giving an outstanding presentation and how well the audience is receiving your speech. Also find a mirror; hopefully, in a private area; and look into the mirror and say any of the following affirmations:

* "This presentation is a great opportunity for me."

* "Every opportunity to speak is an opportunity for success."

* "I am a great speaker."

* "The audience will enjoy my presentation."

* "I have something of valuable to share with the audience."

* "I appreciate this opportunity to make a presentation."

Note: Your affirmations become more powerful when you keep them short and keep them in the present state (Future state example: I will become a better speaker.).

Now that you have read these secrets, you have twenty-five minutes left. Remember, the speech will not break your career. However, being able to rise to the occasion and give an outstanding presentation can enhance your career, business, and life opportunities. Apply these seven secrets and you, too, will give an outstanding presentation in less than thirty minutes.

The Value of Listening in Good Public Speaking

You talk; they listen. You move; they watch. You make a joke; they laugh. You say something profound; they muse or applaud or frown. My question to you is whether you 'listen' to your audience or not. As much as you are the center of attention when addressing an audience, are you aware of the conversation happening in the room?

Good public speakers understand that, while they may be the one doing all of the talking, the reaction of their audience to their words is the conversation. Public speaking is not acting - it is the art of effective communication with an audience. What this means is that the response of your audience to your presentation is the communication process.

Were the definition of public speaking 'effective communication at an audience,' then the response of your listeners would not be a variable. Because good public speaking is similar to that of having a conversation, it is of utmost importance that you listen and watch the reaction of your audience to your words.

If, for example, the group is more intent on their blackberries, Ipods, or laptops, they obviously are not paying attention to you. If they are talking amongst themselves or are unobtrusively drifting out of the room, then you are failing to motivate them, educate them, or persuade them to your way of thinking. If they are struggling to keep their eyes (and ears) open, then you have not made them part of your conversation.

Being aware of your audience's reaction to you is vital if you want them to heed your words. While it is important to deliver a well-scripted speech or presentation with passion and good delivery skills, it is just as important to 'read' your audience as you speak. Are they with you or are you losing them? Are they 'hearing' what you are saying? The only way you can answer these questions is to listen and watch their response to you.

What can aid you in this method of communicating is to know your audience in advance, definitely one of the trade secrets of good public speakers. When you are booked to speak, create your material with them in mind. Were I invited to speak to a group of policemen, my topic would deal with projection of the voice, not presentation skills. If, on the other hand, I were to address the top administrative level of the police force, I would focus on presentation skills and not on the ability to increase one's volume without shouting.

The next time you are scheduled to speak, know your audience and then listen to their reaction to you as you communicate with them, not at them.

Presentation Skills - No Joking Matter

Presentation Skills training during your professional career should have included a lesson about telling jokes in a presentation. That lesson should have been, "Don't tell jokes!"

Unless you are performing as a stand-up comic in a comedy club, your presentation should not start with or include a joke.

Let me give you five reasons why I think you should avoid jokes.

1. The people in your audience probably have already heard the joke.

Have you ever attended a presentation where someone told a joke and you knew it?

Alternatively, have you ever been at a party and where someone tells a joke and you've heard the same joke 25 times within the last 25 days.

If the audience knows the joke - if they've heard it - that diminishes the power you have in your presentation.

2. They might not get it.

They just flat-out don't get the humor in the joke. It might be something that's an inside joke for you or your group or your department or organization.

If they don't get it, your presentation and your message lose importance and credibility.

3. It might not be funny.

Have you ever had someone tell you a joke that you did not find even remotely amusing?

Either the person telling the joke either did a poor job of telling the joke, or, it wasn't funny.

Either way, you might have felt foolish because you weren't laughing. That situation put you and the joke teller in an awkward position.

The possibility of putting your audience in an awkward position should be enough reason for you to avoid jokes in your presentations.

4. The joke might not be relevant.

Some presenters use jokes to warm up the audience.

They might tell a joke because, to them, it is funny. The problem comes when the joke has no relevance to the topic.

All points in your presentation need to tie to your message. If the joke does not tie to your message, or, if the relevance is not clear, you lose your audience.

5. Different people have different humor quotients.

Some people have the humor quotient of a rock.

You might think that everyone in the audience understands the joke.

But, if any of these people have a low humor quotient, the joke will either go right over their heads or they'll feel embarrassed because they didn't get it.

Or, they're going to think you are being sarcastic and you are trying to embarrass or intimidate them.

Rather than tell a joke, tell a story related to your point, use humor, or tell a humorous story.

You can find humor anywhere. Humor is all around you.

Don't make fun of others. Make fun of yourself. Tell a story about something humorous that happened to you.

Let me give you an example.

For eight years, I traveled around the United States conducting seminars in hotels for two major seminar houses.

Perhaps the most memorable and the most embarrassing seminar happened on a Monday in a hotel in Lanham, Maryland.

The topic of this seminar happened to be customer service.

Unlike several of the hotel experiences I could relate, I was delighted that this hotel did an exceptional job of making sure everything was perfect for my seminar.

They even apologized to all the overnight guests for the low water pressure in the hotel showers. They explained that somewhere in the hotel, water was leaking from a pipe and that they had not yet found the source of the leak.

At 2:23 in the afternoon, my seminar participants found the source of the leak.

At 2:23, while I was in the middle of explaining a very important principle in customer service, a two foot by four foot drop-ceiling tile, completely saturated by a weekend of accumulating water, crashed down directly on my head.

Seconds before 2:23 in the afternoon, as I maintained eye contact with audience, they seemed to be moving in slow motion.

Their mouths seemed to drop open in slow motion. Their eyes opened wide in amazement in slow motion. Their arms, with almost drill team precision, moved upward to point to the ceiling tile in slow motion.

Imagine a two by four ceiling tile, completely saturated to the point where the braces holding it up could not bear the weight of another ounce of water, lets go and lands on your head.

My head was covered; my suit was covered; my glasses were covered.

Without skipping a beat, I raised my left arm, looked at my watch and said, "This looks like a great time for us to take our break. See you at 2:45."

Funny story? I think so.

Relevant? Yes.

When the participants came back from the break, I was able to relay to them all the hotel did and planned to do for me.

The participants saw first hand how quickly the hotel staff responded to make participants comfortable and content with complimentary coffee and cookies for the remainder of the seminar.

They experienced a humorous spectacle and learned a few lessons in customer service.

All of you have humorous stories to tell. Make a deposit from your memory banks and invest in a good story rather than a joke to add zest to your presentations.

Presentation Skills Training is for Everyone

Public speaking is about the way that you present your thoughts and feelings in a meaningful and communicative way. And presentation skills training is learning how to do this effectively.

The question is, who will benefit from this type of training? The short answer is everyone!

Most people perceive public speaking to be the act of standing up in front of a large audience and delivering some sort of monologue. After all, some people even make a living from this type of speaking, including motivational speakers, masters of ceremony (MCs), politicians, and many people in the legal field, such as judges, magistrates, attorneys and prosecutors.

But this is certainly not the be-all and end-all of it. Here are some examples of public speaking prospects that may not seem as obvious:

* Children standing up in class to answer questions or give opinions.

* Company directors and managers who have to provide direction to their staff.

* Anybody who is going to participate in any sort of conference or symposium.

* People who need to communicate in social situations (that's most of us).

* A person who is going to be interviewed for a job -- possibly by a committee or by at least two or three people at once.

* Waiters and waitresses who are going to explain to tables of people what is on the menu.

In addition to learning how to speak and present yourself effectively, this type of training has other benefits, such as boosting self confidence and feelings of personal worth. It also has a marked impact on personal relationships, because being able to present thoughts and feelings in a meaningful way involves processing thoughts and values.

Learning presentation skills can be a very exciting process. It involves many aspects, some of which you may not have even considered to be related to public speaking. For example it is not just about choosing good topics and structuring speeches that people will want to listen to. It is just as much about what you look like and how you come across. You may be able to develop an excellent speech, but if you fall to pieces when you come to deliver it, you will not have succeeded in your quest.

Part of the learning process involves learning how to breathe correctly and how to project your voice, as well as learning how to relax both on and off the stage. It also involves learning how to stand and how to move while in front of the audience. It involves identifying the audience you are going to address, so that you know your topic and presentation are suitable, and to be sure that you dress appropriately. It involves learning to use language that is relevant to your audience and will be understood by them, and the importance of pronouncing words correctly.

Lastly, this type of training will enable you to enjoy the companionship of people who have the same interest, which is to expand their own horizons through improving their public speaking skills too.

The Hottest Common Mistakes in Powerpoint Presentations

By Daniel McMillan
When you heard that you will be in charged in next week's corporate meeting, you immediately jumped right into your PC and opened up Microsoft's Powerpoint. For you, that's the most logical thing to do, since the program has been dependable in coming up with excellent reports and presentations. Unfortunately, you heard the bad news right after the meeting. Not a lot of people liked it�and you don't why.

Perhaps it's high time that you assess the Powerpoint presentation that you have been making. There are actually too many people�perhaps including you�who are not aware of the common mistakes in Powerpoint presentations. You could be doing the following, which, in turn, means that your work is not as impressive or worse a downright failure.

Top Mistakes in Powerpoint Presentations

1. You have chosen the wrong Powerpoint templates. You may think that content is still king when it comes to Powerpoint presentations. Though you're right, you also need to pay attention to the nitty-gritty details, including the Powerpoint templates that you're going to use. After all, you can make use of them to emphasize the message that you want to convey. Thus, if you're asked to present in a construction convention, you may want to stay away from Powerpoint templates with religious or fantasy themes. On the other hand, if your Powerpoint presentation will be for general use such as a corporate meeting, stick with plain-colored ones.

2. They can't read anything. Just because the audience are not saying anything, it doesn't mean that there's nothing wrong with your Powerpoint presentation. Who knows, a lot of them may just be figuring out what you've written, simply because they can't read a single thing. There are a lot of reasons for this. First, your font size may just be too small or the font may be too complicated that they can't figure out what you've written. It could also be that the font that you have utilized is not actually found in their own PCs, and thus, they turned out to be unintelligible characters. Lastly, the Powerpoint templates may be of the same color as your text.

3. You have too many paragraphs. Your Powerpoint presentation is supposed to highlight important or key points of your entire discussion. It should not contain everything that you're going to say; otherwise, you ought to just give them to your listeners and let them read what you have in your Powerpoint templates. Follow the 6-line rule, where there should only be 6 lines or even less per slide, to avoid overcrowding it. Essential points are advised to be presented in a bullet or list form, so they are a lot easier to read and remember. All other information may just be written in your handouts, which, by the way, should be distributed right after your discussion so that they won't be ahead.

4. Skip being too artsy. You can be artistic with your Powerpoint presentation, but there should be a limit. The rule is to not go overboard in everything. Thus, avoid using too much pictures, sounds, or even videos. As long as you can get your message across and you can hit the spot with what you have, your Powerpoint presentation is already good to go.

Dos And Don'ts Of Effective Presentations

Effective communication begins with an effective presentation. From the words, to the graphics, to the materials that you use for the presentation - it all works together to create the most effective communication vehicle possible. Be it the overall finishing, such as the binding, folding or lamination you select, or the content contained inside, everything communicates and you should use all of the tools in your arsenal to communicate effectively. To that end, the following are some Dos and Don'ts to keep in mind in the effective creation of a presentation.

The Do's:

1)Know Your Stuff:

This may seem quite obvious, but researching and developing a complete understanding of the presentation subject is the foundation for any effective presentation. Do your homework and it will pay off in the end

2)Stick To Your Story:

Your presentation should have one purpose in mind and stick to that purpose from beginning to end. Ask yourself these questions at the beginning of any presentation development process; Am I selling something? Am I persuading someone? Am I educating someone? Or simply entertaining my audience? Create your story and don't get off track.

3)"Remember that "Books" are Judged By Their Covers:

You may have been admonished to "Never judge a book by its cover," but when creating an effective presentation, you should adhere to a different adage: "Don't leave anything to chance." A professional-looking presentation can push your audience toward a positive decision the moment they see it. Laminated covers and well-bound presentations are the best way to ensure your audience will be excited to open up and see what's next!

4)Have a Beginning, Middle, (Summary) and End:

It may seem like Theme-Paper Writing 101, but "the basics" are "the basics" for a reason - they work! People think, and perceive information in a similar way. It is natural for them to follow this well-known pattern, starting with an Opening that sets the stage for the rest of the presentation, a Body in which the overall subject is presented, a Summary to touch on major points, and a Closing, usually with some "call to action" for your audience.

5)Put it in a Picture:

Studies have shown that people learn more quickly and retain information better when the subject is reinforced with visuals. Your audience will get your point immediately with the use of the right visual, making it literally "worth a thousand words." Clear and simple graphics or pictures used for full-effect are the best way to connect with your audience. The way these pictures are presented is equally as important as the picture itself. Consider lamination to properly preserve and highlight this important aspect of your presentation.

The Don'ts:

1)Avoid Saying Too Much:

While you may be wildly excited about your subject, don't assume your audience has hours of time to devote to reading and absorbing the information. Make your points clearly and concisely and move on. There is no reason to use 5 words when one or two are just as effective in helping you tell your story.

2)Don't Forget the Devil in The Details:

From the presentation cover, to it's binding to the first and last sentences, details count. A professional overall appearance draws your readers in to the presentation in a way that little else can. After this initial response, however, everything else in the presentation must deliver on this promise of quality. Check your spelling, grammar and sentence structure over and over again, and not just by using your computer's spell-check or grammar-check program. Read the presentation out loud to make sure you are saying exactly what you want to say - from beginning to end.

3)Stop Using The Wrong Images:

There are many correct ways to use a visual in a presentation, and just as many incorrect ones. Too small, too blurry, overly-complicated, or just plain distracting images will have the opposite effect on your audience than you wish to create. Good, clear and effective visuals are the best way to go - and highlighting them with the proper framing, laminating or other enhancement only serves to make your presentation stronger.

4)Avoid Getting it done on the "Cheap:"

Saving on overhead when preparing your presentation may seem like a good idea, but think again! Cutting corners by not creating a professional-looking presentation, including everything from the cutting, folding, binding and cover creation, can cause you to lose big in the long run. If you cut corners on your presentation or proposal, you may cut corners on the project or product you are proposing. Do it right the first time and get the chance to do it again - and again!

5)Don't Forget the Call to Action!

Telling the story about your product or service is great - but forgetting to tell the audience what you would like them to do with this information is a big mistake! Don't miss the opportunity to end your presentation with a simple, specific call to action, usually tied to a deadline for feedback of some kind. This will give your "story" the happy ending you are looking for!

Two Public Speaking Techniques - Establishing Rapport To Excel As A Public Speaker And The Zone In Public Speaking

Michael Seriosa

Establishing Rapport To Excel as a Public Speaker

The speakers that touch your heart and impinge and impact the mind know how to establish a very special kind of rapport. In fact, it can be viewed as a very peculiar rapport that requires the public speaker to in a sense throw his or her heart and soul into their talk. Peculiar because the average sometimes even good public speaker is ignorant of this seldom addressed technique. Yet, just as in acting this is incredibly valuable because those who know this skill reach the top in their field. In acting it was taught by a famous Russian teacher and adapted by some acting schools in America. And, I am one of the few who knows the technology and more important how to teach it. In fact, the exercises are so concise; there has never been a student who didn't get it.

Done well, it establishes a very very powerful connection, an emotional connection that allows people to almost literally be inside each other's minds and provides a feeling of understanding of how the audience and speaker are thinking alike.

Some people consider this to be impossible, yet you can actually discover the secrets of how to do that with one person or thousands in the same room. How in the world do you make each member of an audience of many feel as though you were speaking directly to him or her?

As impossible as this may sound, it is an invigoration that most crave almost like a drug. The ability to get a public speaker's audience into that zone or trance is something thought of with envy.

One secret is to be in the zone even before your audience. If you want your audience to be in harmony with you, be harmonious first. Get into the zone you'd like them to be in and they (for the most part anyway) will follow you.

Now, I am not a Pollyanna. I know that certain topics at certain times, especially in the opening portion of your talk(s) are momentarily far from harmonious. I remember well the moments like they were an hour ago during which a member of the audience challenged me.

In fact, it was during my first morning as a trainer when this man yelled out "This is a Crock of �you know what." In order to establish the rapport that I knew was mandatory to establish, if I was going to succeed, I simply asked him to explain and listened most carefully. After he was finished telling me, I asked him if there was more. I needed to be sure I got it all before asking if it was all right to continue.

Needless to say that bump in the road was in its special way the opportunity for us to get into a great rapport. The rapport with that participant was even a little more special than the rest of the audience.

It helps a public speaker handle what ever emerges.

What is Your Zone?

In my mind I perceive the zone to be God, Love, Spirit �they are to me all synonymous. It is called the Dao in Far Eastern thought. Einstein said everything is energy. Our thoughts are, believe it or not, also energy! And, the best energy is the energy of the universe, the flow. When you mess with the flow you are in deep trouble. When you understand it and surrender, if you will, to it, you will win! Negative energy is the same energy but removed from or put up in resistance to the natural flow of the universe. No law is stronger that this law of the universe.

When you synchronize your thoughts and actions with the flow, you will win the endeavor. Appose it and it will essentially strike you down. Nothing can defeat the flow of the universe no matter how hard they try.

The people who spend their lives in jail for the most part tried their best to defy this law. Like the law of gravity they lost.

Anger is the opposite of the zone so we might analyze it as well. Far Eastern thought says a disagreement and anger only persist when there is a lie in it. Remove the lie and replace it with the truth and you are set free.

As a public speaker you must do your very best to be do and represent the truth. Are you really into your topic? Are you of clear mind? Are you up for the job? In order to have the confidence, the enthusiasm, you need to review your qualifications. This should provide you with a surge of emotional energy. You know that your public speech is uniquely yours and your audience will benefit by hearing you speak.

A legendary hypnotist and teacher Gil Boyne, recommends that all hypnotherapists get their baggage eliminated before attempting to help others. In hypnotherapy and other emotional therapies we are dealing with lies.

Ho do even honest people have lies in the minds? Most baggage comes from our youth. Everyone had the worst upbringing. Our parents were never issued a handbook to guide them and they had their own growing up yet to do. When you rise to the point that you forgive everyone who harmed you in your youth, you will realize that the emotional charge was only your own doing.

While you are not at fault, you made the decision to hold the grudge. Now if the universe is all energy and that energy is all going in one direction, the flow, you have now put up resistance to the flow and got that emotional energy stuck on you. You wear it like a dog that has a tail. Your tail is visible to those who know how to read people. We may be what we eat in terms of our cells, yet most of us ignore the effect our emotional charge no matter how deeply buried, has upon our cells. Wallace Waddles wrote how all disease begins in the mind.

Regressive therapy, which works miracles is about going back in your mind to the events that had pain loss etc. in them and reviewing or even reliving them as an adult today. What happens is you get the charge that you've been holding all this time off your chest, so to speak. You are removing the lies you told yourself when your brain was not yet fully developed, when you were incapable of having all the knowledge and experience that would have allowed you to immediately forgive.

That's the irony of life. The people who know the zone either have eliminated the emotional baggage and or know how to rise above it. The exercises I teach can get anyone above the fray and into the zone. And, I know where you can find the best counselors with the best emotional therapy, for the asking.
