马上要给老美就近期的技术调研做一个Presentation。虽然这边的美国经理Review过后表示满意,但自我感觉还不够professional。于是读了本书(FT.Press.Presentations.in.Action.May.2011),看了点老外的Show。
生活其实无处不需要“展示”。比如面试,书中就有介绍30秒面试技巧。
1. Prepare thoroughly. Plan your content carefully. Rehearse repeat-edly. Time yourself. Rehearse aloud. You will recognize this method as Verbalization. Rehearse until you are very familiar with your content, but not to the point of memorization.
2. Get plenty of sleep the night before the television studio session.
It makes a big difference.
3. Sip warm water just before you start. Avoid coffee, milk, and car-bonated beverages.
4. Sit forward, with your feet planted squarely on the ground; this will make you appear alert and poised.
5. Sit on the coattail of your jacket; this will keep your collar from pulling away from your neck.
6. Make eye contact with the camera lens, but don’t stare. Allow yourself to blink.
7. Smile. No explanation needed.
8. Say your name.
9. Say “you,” referring to your prospective employer.
10. Offer benefits to your prospective employer. Say what your skills can provide to a company that hires you. In other words, give them WIIFYs (What’s In It For You).
留心了一下WIIFYs 原则,说这么多无外乎就是告诉你,能为你带来什么好处。
书中还提到了Right or Left 原理。据说“Right”代表积极,“Left”代表消极。所以你应该让你的观众看到你的展示影像出现在你的右方。因为你是面对观众的,所以屏幕应该在你的左手边。
读完书,又看了些视频。推荐一下parleys。
从这张图看貌似是遵守了“左右”原则。
parleys界面简约,功能却不简单。可以直接在线观看(http://www.parleys.com/),也可以用提供的AIR桌面应用程序(好处是可以Download Talk下来,方便以后观看)。
可以方便的调整窗口的大小,比如放大视频。
同理放大PPT展示窗口。
可以把鼠标悬停在时间轴上预览PPT内容。
好了,继续好好学习,迎接我的Presentation。
