PRESENTATION
   Mistakes
And How You Can Solve Them!
Hi, my name is Akash. I’m a
Professional Speaker and a
public speaking coach

Killer Mistake # 1:


Facts, Facts, Facts!
Mistake:
Include lots of facts in your
      presentations.

  The more facts you have,
 the smarter you seem and
the more persuasive you will
            be.
Truth is…

    facts are boring and bland.

   If you simply spit out numbers
 instead of showing your audience
 how those statistics impact them,
you will drown your audience in sea
             of numbers.
                   .
Killer Mistake # 2:

Always use
Powerpoint
Mistake:
  When people think of a
presentation, the first thing
that usually comes to mind
      is Powerpoint!
Truth is…




    You don’t always have to use Powerpoint.

You should use Powerpoint only if you have graphs,
    charts and pictures to show your audience.

   Powerpoint should be an aid…not your entire
                 presentation!
Killer Mistake # 3

Using complicated,
 technical words
Mistake:
  Use lots of complicated
jargon…because It makes
   you sound smarter.
Truth is…
 using complicated jargon may make you
  sound smarter, but it will isolate your
               audience.

If your audience doesn’t understand what
 you’re saying, then your presentation is a
             complete failure…

 Aim for a conversational style of speaking
which explains ideas in the clearest, easiest-
             to-understand way.
Wrap Up: Killer Presentation Mistakes
 Drowning your audience in a sea of numbers
   Reduce the stats and spend more time
   explaining how the statistics are relevant to
   your audience
 Using complicated, difficult vocabulary
   Aim for a clear, conversational speaking
   style
 Over-relying on Powerpoint
   Use Powerpoint as an aid, not as a crutch
