Presentation-Communication
• Communication is a strong
tendency
• simple, concise and interesting
manner
• to be prepared (hours of
preparation and rehearsal
time )
• to know how to give an
effective speech
“Rule of three” or “Three hooks”:
 “Veni, Vidi, Vici” (I came, I saw,
I conquered) - Julius Caesar;
 “Friends, Romans,
Countrymen lend me your
ears” - William Shakespeare ;
 “Our priorities are Education,
Education, Education” - Tony
Blair;
 “A Mars a day helps you to
work, rest and play” Advertising slogan;
 “Stop, look and listen” - Public
safety announcement
One of the most powerful things that
you can do to your presentation is to
add in visual aids.
Research shows that if you use visual
aids you are twice as likely to achieve
your objectives.
Ditch the bullet points - use pictures
instead.
The Four Main Goals of Communication
1. To inform – you are providing
information for use in decision making,
but aren't necessarily advocating a
course of action
2. To request for a specific action by the
receiver
3. To persuade – to reinforce or change a
receiver's belief about a topic and,
possibly, act on the belief
4. To build relationships – some
messages you send may have the
simple goal of building good-will
between you and the receiver
Important aspects
• We see no end of people who spend hours pouring
over their bullet points but fail to rehearse properly for
the presentation.
• The old adage is as true now as it has always been:
"If you fail to prepare, you are prepared to fail“
• This is one of the oldest of all the presentation
techniques - known about since the time of Aristotle
“Rule of three”.
• People tend to remember lists of three things.
Structure your presentation around threes and it will
become more memorable.
Essential Presentation Skills the three things YOU MUST
KNOW.
