BEP 63: Business Presentations - Referring to Visual Aids
Manage episode 278018524 series 3083
It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, and this is certainly true of business presentations in which a graph, table or image can present a clear picture of what you want to say. Many people find it easier to understand information when it is presented visually, and visual aids are essential to most business presentations.
To create an effective presentation, it is important to strike the right balance between text and graphics. Text should be brief, and organised into bullet points for easier reading. You should use a combination of different kinds of graphics, such as images, graphs and pie diagrams, to keep your audience’s attention.
Every image or graph should be relevant to your topic. Never use an image just to brighten up your presentation.
You should also familiarise yourself with the operating system and projector well before your presentation, so that you do not have any technical difficulties during your presentation.
In this lesson, we will listen to two presentations where the speakers use visual aids to enhance the effect of what they are saying.
Situation 1
You will now listen to a presentation on product training made by Susan, who works as a trainer at an insurance company. Susan makes use of several visual aids during her talk on training needs assessments for a new product that is to be launched by her company.
