Good presentation skills go beyond the basics of avoiding verbose slides and not reading from a script.

To create a more compelling and persuasive presentation from the outset, you should begin by creating a strong outline that answers these critical questions:

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜'๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—บ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚'๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—น๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด?

It's crucial to explain the context and importance of your idea upfront, even if your audience is not familiar with your project's development process.

This will help them understand why your idea matters and avoid losing their interest.

Even if your idea is complex, try to break it down into a series of numbered steps or phases that your audience can follow easily.

With this strategy, your solution will be more accessible and inspire confidence in your proposal.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป ๐—›๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—น๐˜‚๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜†?

While some professions rely on a "just the facts" approach, storytelling can be a powerful tool to engage and persuade your audience. Consider using a concrete example to illustrate a piece of data or explain how your solution works in practice.

Including at least one story in your presentation can make it more lively and memorable.

While the visual elements and delivery of a presentation are important, a well-structured outline and the content are what truly matter in persuading your audience.

Great leaders seek outโ€”and act onโ€”the counsel of others, especially in a crisis.

You need a team of advisors that can offer as many perspectives on your situation as possible. To ensure youโ€™re prepared ahead of the next crisis, ask yourself these three questions --

๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐——๐—ผ ๐—œ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐˜ƒ๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป?

Use scenario-planning to determine whose knowledge or expertise you might need in various kinds of crises, and identify whether you currently have access to it.

๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐——๐—ผ ๐—œ ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—น๐˜† ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—บ ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€โ€™ ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€?

If not, start practicing seeking out expertise to fill your blind spots and inform your decisions. Effective crisis leaders are those who know whenโ€”and howโ€”to defer to others.

While the messenger and message have changed over 112 years, one key lesson remains the same โ€” everyone edits.

Here're some tips to unleash your inner POTUS and conquer the room.

Presidents have long recognized the power of simple language to convey their tough messages and leave a lasting impression on the audience.

In your presentations use simple, short words to captivate your audience.

Improve your delivery by using script markup. Add lines and dashes to create pauses, emphasize key points, and control your pace.

Just like how news anchors use marks to deliver their message effectively.

Whether it's a speech or a presentation, taking the time to practice can make all the difference. Practice in front of a mirror, record yourself, or practice in front of a friend or family member.

Pro-tip: All you have to do is schedule time to practice ahead of time.

Donโ€™t just pay for pretty - how to vet your presentation designer โ˜๏ธ

While chatting to a client yesterday, he told us heโ€™d worked with large creative agencies in the past that โ€œdesignedโ€ his presentationsโ€ฆ

๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ถ๐˜€, ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜† ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—น๐˜† ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ ๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐˜€๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ.

While your presentations should look the part, if your agency doesnโ€™t challenge you to make your story BETTER - youโ€™re just paying for pretty. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

And, like our client, youโ€™ll end up spending a lot of time managing your agency to get the โ€œsubstanceโ€ youโ€™re looking for.

To make sure this doesnโ€™t happen to you, vet your agency or designer first by asking these questions:

๐Ÿญ. ๐——๐—ผ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜?
You need a thought partner, not just a beautification agency ๐Ÿ’ก

๐Ÿฎ. ๐——๐—ผ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐˜„๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐˜†?
Great presentation copy takes time. Time you may not have ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ

๐Ÿฏ. ๐——๐—ผ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ธ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—บ๐˜† ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐˜†?
If they do, your presentation will be more relevant ๐ŸŽฏ

๐Ÿฐ. ๐—–๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ?
Objective feedback can make all the difference ๐Ÿ’ญ

๐Ÿฑ. ๐—–๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—œ ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฑ๐˜†?
See if they do more than just โ€œbeautifyโ€ slides ๐Ÿง

๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ: on paper, you might think youโ€™re saving money, but if you have to bang your head against a wall to get what you want from your presentation partner - then itโ€™s just not worth it.
