Your presentation material planning is an effective first step to getting your presentations just right. That’s because your choices will help you to engage with your audience. So it makes sense to think about your presentation material, particularly if you want to vie for the title of world’s best presentation! When you use the right material it will help you to convey your message as you present. Because your audience will respond to good material. That’s a fact. So, you have some choices and some decisions ahead.

Props are a key presentation aid. So, think hard how you can use them when you have to present. Because they can be very useful when you want to explain something or get your audience involved.

Keep your handouts to the end of your presentation. Thus, you aim for your audience to be a watching and listening audience and not a reading audience. Don’t print your slides, if you have used them. So, aim to prepare something else. Perhaps, a one-page summary of your presentation would be enough.
