Man kann nicht paranoid genug sein, um sich richtig auf Präsentationen vorzubereiten. Tips von Pam Slim, einer Profi-Präsentiererin. Sehr gute dabei über Vorbereitung, Material, Computer etc.
Durchaus lesenswert, ich habe viele auch für mich neue Tips lesen können (immer Ersatzsachen dabei haben). Auch Selbstverständliches, das man vergisst (Konverter für das Ausland).
Auszüge:
I developed the following practices:
- Ship your materials via Fedex […] and have them arrive the day before you do.
- Don’t rely on Fedex’s record that the materials were received, talk to a live person at the location and make them swear that they are physically looking at and touching the materials.
- Create a one-page cheat sheet of presentation location, street address and contact person with two alternate phone numbers and carry it with you on the plane.
- Put one set of presentation-ready clothes in your carry-on in case your luggage is lost.
- If you are going to a different country, check on the voltage requirements and ensure you bring a trusted power adapter for your equipment.
For presentations:
- As soon as you get to your location, set up and test your equipment.
- Check and double check to make sure you bring the right presentation, and right version of the presentation, to the live event.
- Always arrive at least one hour early, 90 minutes early if teaching an all-day class.
- Don’t hesitate to re-arrange the furniture to make it a better environment for you and the participants
- For god’s sake (and that of your audience), do not use a podium.
- Make a hard copy and electronic backup of your presentation, in addition to the one you have pre-installed on your laptop.
- Ask your client if they have a backup machine in case something goes wrong with yours.
- Bring an extension cord.
- Fire up your presentation and the projector, and play with the lighting in the room.
- Sit down in a number of different seats around the room to check for visibility of the slides and clarity of the projection.
