Here are some expert insights on structuring presentations effectively:

  1. Framework for Success:

    • Conceptual Framework: Simplify and refine your ideas into a clear framework.
    • Captivating Headline: Create an engaging and appealing headline to draw your audience.
    • Process Mapping: Map out the presentation content, simplifying it iteratively until it's straightforward and effective.
    • Incorporate Engagement Elements: Add elements that make the presentation 'sexy', like interesting visuals or anecdotes 1.
  2. PowerPoint Presentation Tips:

    • Minimal Text: Use a few words, bullet points, or images on each slide.
    • Complete Information: Ensure the presentation supports your speech, rather than being the primary source of information.
    • Engagement Overload: Avoid overcrowding slides with text; one slide per minute is a good rule of thumb.
    • Facilitation Tool: Use slides to enhance your verbal message, not replace it 2.
  3. Clear Communication Structure:

    • Three Key Questions: Use the framework of "What? So what? Now what?"
      • What?: Present the main idea or topic.
      • So what?: Explain the significance and relevance to the audience.
      • Now what?: Outline the next steps or actions 3.
