The Three P's of Presenting: Planning, Practice, and Pace

One of the surest, and most common, ways to undermine your presentation goals is to rush through it. You worked hard to prepare all that information. Don't waste the effort or your audience's time!

You want your audience to listen attentively and absorb material, often in addition to reading text and graphics— this takes time. When you cram in too much content, they come away with nothing but a bad impression.

On the other hand, confident and steady delivery dramatically increases the impact and credibility of your message, winning your audience's confidence — and helping you achieve your presentation goals.

Three simple practices keep time on your side: Planning, Practice, and Preparation.

Case Study

Name: Foamex
Industry: Polyurethane foam production
Type of Project: Flash demo module

Problem:
Foamex needed to showcase a number of prototype applications of its foam products but did not have the budget or time to produce the prototypes.

Solution:
We used Flash to create and animate demonstrations of the client's products before to take the place of the prototypes. We embedded the Flash demo modules into a PowerPoint sales presentation that we also created for the client.
