The Body of Your Presentation
by Dale Ludwig, June 2008
In the last issue of this newsletter, I wrote about the three parts of a presentation: introduction, body and conclusion. I explained that an effective introduction is important because it gives your listeners a sense of purpose and direction and a reason to listen. A good way to achieve those goals is to get clear on your audience’s needs and wants, and then prepare four introductory slides: title, current situation, statement of purpose & agenda, and benefits to audience. Once these four are created, you can adjust them to meet your particular needs, keeping in mind that no matter how many slides you use, the goals of every introduction are the same.
In this issue, I’ll focus on how to shape the body of the presentation to fulfill the promise of the introduction.
Preparing Effective Introductions to Your Presentations
by Dale Ludwig, February 2008
Happy 2008 and welcome to the Turpin Communication newsletter.
My goal with each issue of the newsletter is to provide useful ideas and tools to help you prepare and deliver your presentations. I know you're busy, but I hope you'll consider the few minutes it takes to read this as time well spent.
To that end, if there is something you'd like to know more about in the world of presenting, please let me know. Chances are if it's on your mind, someone else will be worrying about it too.
Something New to Say about Preparing Presentations
by Dale Ludwig, February 2008
Welcome to the second issue of the Turpin Communication Newsletter.
In the last issue of this newsletter, I wrote about the distinction between "delivering" a speech and "engaging" your audience in a conversational presentation. My point was that when presenters think about engaging their listeners in a two-way conversation rather than delivering a product, they are much more likely to succeed. In this issue, I'd like to focus on some of the ideas we all need to think about when it comes to preparing our presentations.
