An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore

Creating Your Own Award-Winning, Change-the-World Presentations

Presentations have evolved. They are no longer just a bunch of text on slides.

Great presentations are stories, told with passion, using visuals only to support and illustrate what the presenter is saying.

Imagine Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech presented on a slide:

MLK Presentation

Yikes, let’s all be thankful that PowerPoint was not around in 1963!

The best presentation I have ever seen was Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth”. Imagine a presentation, becoming a film, winning an academy award, and being part of winning a Nobel Peace Prize. Wouldn’t it be great if your presentations had that kind of impact? Let’s take a look at a framework to help guide you towards creating your own award-winning, change-the-world presentation.

  • Tell your story
  • Know your stuff
  • Present with feeling and passion
  • Present as if you are having a conversation to engage your audience
  • Be brief
  • Be relaxed
  • Set a comfortable pace
  • Make eye contact
  • Speak to the back of the room
  • Be on same level with audience
  • Move around
  • Use visuals only to support your message
  • Avoid using words on slides
  • If you must use words, less is best. No more that 15 words per slide.
  • Avoid using animations. It’s distracting.
  • Reveal elements one step at a time to engage your audience
  • Make your audience feel
  • Use friendly humour and humility
  • Your audience must leave inspired and motivated
