Preparing A Presentation Without Slides

On Tuesday I am giving a presentation. That is non breaking word at all, except for the fact that I only create got to become together with utter for fifteen minutes without slides to a non-technical audience.

Here's how I prepared for it:

1. Ask for advice

I went to inquire a to a greater extent than experienced staff fellow member for advice, together with I was lucky plenty to acquire his training canvas of final year.
The useful hints I got were:
- Avoid jargon,
- Point out together with present whatever y'all tin to locomote along the audience's attention,
- Compare to examples together with objects from everyday life.

2. What are the of import questions to answer?

I tried to imagine what I would locomote thinking if I'd locomote walking into a mill or a lab totally unrelated to my field. What came to my hear are the following:
- First of all, where am I?
- Who is working here?
- What are they doing here?
- Why is this enquiry necessary?
- What are these objects?
- How create they work? How create they measure?
- How much fourth dimension does a test/ a pace inwards the procedure take?
- What results are obtained together with then far? What create got they learned from this?

3. Mindmap

The begin persuasion I had was to role flash cards together with locomote along these inwards my hands during the presentation. However, to avoid staring at my cards, I decided I desire to become together with speak out without whatever aid except all the textile around me inwards the lab. To create got an persuasion of what I am going to utter about, I sketched upwards a mindmap based on the questions I came upwards alongside previously. Then I started to organize the facts I desire to utter close together with the ones that I had from final year's presentation around these questions to structures my talk.

4. Practice

If 2 minutes of world speaking requires 1 sixty minutes of preparation, I am supposed to roughly pass a locomote hateful solar daytime preparing my talk. I'm planning to become over this several times on Monday, together with utter over it inwards the lab to run into if it is accessible enough.

This is the begin fourth dimension I've rate out a presentation around a few basic questions, together with a mindmap. I'm quite curious to run into how this volition locomote out. What I've learned past times preparing this presentation together with then far, is how slowly together with effortless mindmapping tin locomote to construction your thoughts to ready for a presentation.
