In order to build support for your projects it is very important that you learn how to give persuasive and powerful presentations about your work. The following are some high-level guidelines for giving project presentations at everything from large events to one-on-one pitch sessions.
Tips
Keep It Short - 3 to 5 minutes is ideal
Text is the Enemy - Big beautiful images with just headline text (5 words or less per slide)
Tell a Story - Humans are hardwired for stories, so make your presentation feel like a story
Outline
Your presentations should follow the same content outline as your pitch deck. The only difference is your presentation needs to remove all non-essential text. Each slide should only have a handful of words for headlines and important numbers. The reason is you want the audience to listen to you, not read a bunch of text.
Examples
The following are examples of some great project presentations. None of these are perfect but show a range of what works.
