Teaching Effective Presentation Skills

Instructions: This project requires you to develop a PowerPoint slide presentation for use as a training tool with managers and supervisors on how to prepare an effective presentation. As you move up through the workforce
you will at some point be required to give a briefing or presentation to others. Hopefully, one day you will also have to the opportunity to develop one of your worker's speaking and presentation skills. There is great
satisfaction in taking a nervous employee, helping them to develop their presentation, coaching them on delivery and then watching them knock it out of the park! With this in mind, your presentation should briefly
outline (i.e., no more than 2-3 slides) how to start a presentation (that is attention getting steps) an and overview for the audience. You should focus the majority of your presentation (i.e., 8-10 slides) on what makes
an effective presentation. Factors to consider in all forms of communication--Who is your audience? What is
your message? Are you trying to persuade? Inform? The Week 5, Lesson 1 has a lot of great information to get
you started, as well as the Forum in Week 4 (the Guy Kawasaki TED Talk).
Here are some guidelines to get you started: You are going to brief a small group of newly graduated APUS
Business Students on how to present an effective presentation. Your audience ages are anywhere from 20-60
years of age, with various business backgrounds, military experience, and even some small business owners.
