atw: Re: More on presentations

Brian

As we all know though sometimes at conferences one is asked to submit the 
paper before hand so it geos inthe conference notes. I understand the 
logisitics of that and I try to meet those deadline. 

The big challenge is to keep your audience interested in you the speaker 
and your words so that they are not bored and don't start reading ahead. 
It is at this point that you personal presentation skill must take over. 
And that's another issue beyond the Powerpoint debate. 

Weismann  has a movie and/or tv background and he talks about getting a 
flow and  capturing your audience immediately.

Talking of "flow" has anyone ready the book "Finding flow" by  Mihaly 
Csikszentmihalyi. I read somewhere that it was useful in helping to get 
subject matter people to write.

Hi Irene,
Tell them about the existence of the handout material beforehand ? hand it 
out just at the point they need it for their own input. 
Hand it out any earlier and they?ll read it when you want them to pay 
attention to something else.

A handout is the way to go. It doesn't have to be a full article. But it 
should include what they need to remember. <snip>

The tricky thing is do you give it before or after you speak?
