p2 is not just slides. a great presentation is the product of the story (p1), the supportive media (p2) and the delivery (p3). The p2 need not just be slides. Consider anything that will add to the message. Remember the value of a STAR moment but ensure what is remembered is more than simply the illustration. p2 is not just slides.<\/p>\n
A great presentation usually has a great p2. That need not just be a great slide deck.There are many possibilities for adding value, making the message more memorable and retained. Visual aids can dramatically alter the engagement of an audience. In her TED talk on stroke Jill Bolte Taylor<\/a> shocks the audience by bringing onto the stage a real human brain.\u00a0 Vic Brazil in her talk at SMACCDub interviewed her younger self and this chap used bubbles and balloons\u00a0<\/a>when talking about inspiration. p2 need not just be about slides.<\/p>\n Similarly one should remember that The Best Slide in the World<\/a> can add hugely to the impact of a presentation. Even more, consider whether any slides are required. Some messages will be diluted, minimised or made worse by inappropriate or unnecessary slides. The supportive media should add to the message. It is entirely acceptable to deliver a presentation without slides.<\/a><\/p>\n In deciding what to add to a presentation the following must considered. Will the visual aid be visible to the whole audience? A small item in the palm of the presenter may be useless in a huge auditorium. Conversely a whole car being dissected by a pre-hospital rescue team may seem extreme but it certainly was effective. Is the visual aid valuable or just for entertainment? It must add meaning not simply being different or a wow factor. Will the audience simply remember the presenter dressed as a spaceman or was the link clear within the message that allows for recollection more than just costume. Is the investment of time within the presentation worth the pay off for the audience?<\/p>\n AI, MDT wireless link ups, live films, TEG and drones for blood products – the future of pre-hospital? #PHEM<\/a> #dassmacc<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/cbeQqBmogX<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Miriam (@mimbleberry) June 27, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
