Visuals

(81)If you have designed your slides well, then you should never need to use a pointer in your presentation. Each slide should intuitively guide your audience to the right part without having to show them with the aid of a pointing device. Keeping your slides simple and only having one element or point on each slide (85)will guide your audience. On occasions where you need to highlight a number or a word, you can always use a transition to change the colour of the number or word, or even use an animation to underline or circle the area you want highlighting. Pointers are distracting and are a symptom of a greater problem with your slides. So if you feel you need to use a pointer, then go back and make (90)your slides simpler. A pointer is never the solution.

Questions

Questions are a good opportunity for you to interact with your audience. It may be helpful for you to try to predict what questions will be asked so that you can prepare your response in advance. You may wish to accept questions at any (95)time during your presentation, or to keep a time for questions after your presentation. Normally, it's your decision, and you should make it clear during the introduction. Be polite with all questioners, even if they ask difficult questions. They are showing interest in what you have to say and they deserve attention. Sometimes you can reformulate a question. Or answer the question with another question. Or even ask for comment from the rest of the audience.

In presentations, there is a golden rule about repetition:

Say what you are going to say,

Say it,

3. then say what you have just said.
