Do they remember what you\u2019re saying?<\/p>\n

Make sure that your online presentations are successful and memorable for all the right reasons with my top tips:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Turn your camera on. Many people are afraid of doing this, but it\u2019s the first thing you should do. Even if you are sharing your screen, the participants should be able to see you. As soon as people see you – a real moving and speaking person, they are drawn to look at you and will concentrate more. Be honest, if you\u2019re attending a presentation online and you can\u2019t see the speaker, how much do you really concentrate on what they\u2019re saying?<\/li>\n
  2. Look into your camera! It\u2019s tempting to look at yourself, at other people on the screen or at your slides, but if you look into the camera, people feel like you\u2019re really talking to them.<\/li>\n
  3. Make it interactive. Use techniques to capture the audience\u2019s attention, like the ones we learn and practise in the \u201cPublic speaking in English\u201d training programme. Use online tools such as polls, using the built-in emojis or interactive slides (I like Mentimeter.)<\/li>\n
  4. Don\u2019t write sentences on your slides. You may as well just send the other people your slides and avoid the meeting altogether. Write keywords only. You are still your presentation, even online, and your slides are supporting you.<\/li>\n
  5. Use notes if you need to. When you\u2019re online it\u2019s easier to use notes because no one will know. Put them in front of your screen just underneath your camera, or stick post-it notes around your computer.<\/li>\n
  6. When I say use notes, I don\u2019t mean write out a script and read it! Your voice changes when you do this: it doesn\u2019t sound natural and people can tell that you\u2019re reading. It\u2019s better to make some mistakes but speak naturally than read from a perfectly prepared script.<\/li>\n
  7. Your voice is even more important when you\u2019re online as everything comes out flatter. Try videoing yourself and you\u2019ll see what I mean. Practise your using strong sentence stress when you\u2019re presenting in English.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When you are alone for days or weeks at a time, you eventually become drawn to people. Talking to randos is the norm. I’ll never forget the conversation with the aquarium fisherman, forest ranger, and women at the Thai market. It’s refreshing to compare notes on life with people from vastly different backgrounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":119307,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"quote","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[103],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-119536","post","type-post","status-publish","format-quote","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aygen-blog","post_format-post-format-quote"],"yoast_head":"\nTop tips for video presentations - A star Formation<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Video presentations are becoming more and more common, but who can be sure that their audience is paying attention?
