    Guide to Effective Presentations Electronic presentations are one of the most effective tools presenters can use to persuade an audience. There are several ways to enhance your presentation and maximise your effectiveness. The following are guidelines to help you create and deliver a dynamic presentation.
  • Page 62 Guide to Effective Presentations • Background colours can subconsciously affect the audience: Red—increases viewers’ pulse and breathing and encourages risk taking but can also be associated with financial loss. Blue—has a calming and conservative affect on the Blue audience but can also create boredom among corporate audiences that are often inundated with this background colour.
  • Page 63 By manipulating the placement and use of the following tools, you will improve the impact of your presentation. Presentation from SHARP Lighting—Good lighting is an important component of a successful presentation. You should strive to create an unequal distribution of light.
  • Page 64 Guide to Effective Presentations d. Rehearsing & Delivery • The best time to rehearse is the day or evening before, not a couple of hours before, and the best place to rehearse is in the actual room. Rehearsing a speech in a small office is not the same as standing up in front of 100 people in a hotel ballroom or classroom.
