Notes for Melbourne Short Presso Speakers
Seven minutes (maximum) slot on Sundays at Central
The presso slot is different to the main talk.
It is VISUAL (while the main talk is verbal).
It is TEACHING (while the main talk is more preaching).
Some tips:
* be concrete – have real examples of real things
* watch the colours on your slides
– have good contrast and avoid red text (which is harder for older men to see)
– make them look contemporary, not ancient 1990s ‘death by powerpoint’ – few words, big pictures
* have something visual – not just scriptures on their own – avoid large slabs of scripture – tell the story, and only put up short key scriptures (or parts of scriptures) that illustrate the main point
* better to have the scriptures on your slide than fumble with a Bible/pointer/remote onstage
* Save your presentation to Microsoft Powerpoint 97-2003 (the version at the hall)
* Watch the aspect ratio – its 16:9 – don’t risk putting important points right on the edge of your slide, keep the action nearer the middle
* keep to time. It is 7 minutes maximum (never over, can be under) – 7 minutes are usually very well received
– I have never, ever, had a complaint that the presentation was too short – something to consider…
* don’t put in too many points
– keep it simple and easily grasped
– if you have lots of points, do it over a number of separate talks
* keep it punchy
– it’s at the end of the meeting, people are not as fresh as earlier
