PRESENTATION Anti-Patterns
10 THINGS YOU should avoid IN YOUR NEXT PRESENTATION

OFFEND THE AUDIENCE EITHER intentionally
or unintentionally AND YOUR
PRESENTATION IS AS GOOD AS OVER

THIS JUST IN: YOU JUST MIGHT NOT BE THE
rock star YOU THINK YOU ARE

8. AVOID POLITICS AND RELIGION

UNLESS YOU ARE presenting about politics
or religion, BE WARY OF VOICING AN
OPINION ON EITHER

At best, YOU MIGHT DRAW A LAUGH
At worst, IT CREATES A SENSE OF
AWKWARDNESS WHERE PEOPLE WILL
CRINGE

6. NEVER PRESENT SOMEONE ELSE'S PRESENTATION

THERE WILL BE no story, YOU'LL BE
UNPREPARED, AND YOU’LL LIKELY END UP
reading the slides VERBATIM

5. NEVER PRESENT FROM SOMEONE ELSE’S MACHINE

STUFF INSTALLED or missing FROM THAT
MACHINE MIGHT KILL YOUR PRESENTATION

4. DON'T LET ANYONE MAKEOVER YOUR SLIDES

TEMPLATES THAT don’t need applying
FONTS THAT don’t need changing
IMAGES THAT don’t need moving

3. NEVER MOVE ROOM OR LOCATION

UNLESS YOUR ROOM IS UNINHABITABLE,
avoid changing rooms AT THE LAST
MINUTE

2. NEVER MESS WITH PROFESSIONAL A/V EQUIPMENT

RELY INSTEAD ON A DEDICATED A/V TEAM,
TO help you out

1. NEVER FORGET YOUR PRESENTATION REMOTE

HAVING A GOOD PRESENTATION REMOTE
ALLOWS BETTER INTERACTION WITH YOUR
AUDIENCE AND WILL unchain you from the
podium
