9 Tips for Your Next Digital Presentation

Is there any presentation today that does not rely on technology? Slides, mics, webinars, and virtual meetings
all combine to provide today's presentation experience. No matter the technology you are using, there are
some important things to remember to make sure you are delivering your presentation with impact!

1. Follow the 6x6 rule: Six words per line, six lines per visual.

2. Follow the 10-second rule: Your audience should be able to understand your slide in 10 seconds.

3. Use fonts that are large and easily legible.

4. Add the proper amount of graphics and photos.

5. Don't overdo animation.

6. Never read word for word what is on the screen. Know your material so you don't have to read it.

7. Keep eye contact with the audience. Don't turn your back to look at the screen when delivering in person
and don't read off of a paper when being filmed during a virtual presentation.

8. Prepare your presentation space by turning off non-essential programs and diming the lights. Take any steps
necessary to enhance the presentation experience and keep the focus on you.

9. Be ready for technical failure and be prepared to carry on.
