The goal of a presentation is to get the audience to take the next step, not just to give a speech. Keep the goal in mind when creating slides.
Structure the presentation like a story, with beginning, middle, and end. Start by sharing the challenge, then explain the solution, then wrap up connecting back to the goal.
Make your presentation interactive by getting the audience to participate, like raising hands or answering questions. Engage positive listeners.
Create memorable impact at the start, like with an energetic entrance, to hook the audience initially.
Enter the "zone" mentally to speak with energy and passion. Practice helps get comfortable being on stage.
(00:01) [music] [applause] [applause] My ears might hurt, so I'll try to keep my voice down, but there's nothing I can't do. I'd like to talk about how I do presentations as an evangelist, so I've thought of a few things I'd like you to hear from people like me.
(01:03) First of all, I'd like to know what kind of work an evangelist does... it's surprisingly difficult to introduce an evangelist to people, because they usually don't understand what an evangelist does. I want to know how to make a presentation. I have experience and tips for speaking in front of people and preparing materials. I'm not a good person to be able to speak well in front of people, but the real purpose is something else.
(02:08) And also, I don't know if there are people here today who are simply fans of the red comedian, but I'd like to talk about it today. I've been an evangelist for KDDIweb Communications, and I've been on the evangelist stretch for seven years now, which is pretty old for an evangelist. If you'd like today's material, please follow me on Twitter and you'll automatically get the link at 5:00. And the rest of you, well, it's nice to meet you.
(but he's doing a great job, right? I've been working as a freelance programmer and doing all sorts of other things since then, but I'm telling you this because I was actually doing IT training for companies. I've been doing freelance IT training for companies, and when you're doing this kind of training on a freelance basis, your next job depends on whether the training is good or bad.
(04:15) So I always think about how I can get people to take the training and understand what I'm saying, so that they'll repeat it next time. If you are able to do in-house training or teaching work, I think you should actively try it. I'm actually a shy person, by the way, and when I say things like this now, when you ask 100 people, 150 people will say it's a lie, and it sounds that false, but I used to be really shy. I was always funny because I was always with people I didn't know, and they were all new to me.
(05:20) I think about what kind of topics I would like to talk about if I were to have a conversation with that person. I'm not going to talk to people I don't know at all, but when I'm talking to people I don't know at all, I can talk about these things. I'm not good at public speaking, but there are a lot of people who say they don't like it. If you're not good at public speaking, you're not good at it, especially if you're not good at it.
(06:25) If you're not good at public speaking, especially if you're not good at public presentations, think about it like this: nobody wants to hear what you have to say. I'm just a helper to help you navigate towards that goal, so you don't need to worry if you think you're not a good speaker or not. The worst thing that can happen is when a demo fails, you know, like that time in Ikebukuro when the Internet went out during the demonstration. I thought it was already gone, but I didn't push on.
(07:30) Imagine," he says, "imagine what would happen if you pressed this button. I don't know, but I'm a bit nervous... which of the following is the first one? The most important thing is that the presentation is not about what the person has to say, as I said before, but about the awareness that the listener has to take a step forward. (08:35) The last thing you want is for the audience to go out on a limb.
(08:35) The goal of today's session is to make the audience say, "Okay, after listening to my presentation, I'm going to give a presentation tomorrow, so let's try this. So, the goal of my session today is to get the participants to take a step forward, so that they can take a step forward. So today, I'm going to show you how I make the presentation materials as they were when I actually made this presentation. I'm using a service that allows me to make small sentences about what I want to talk about.
(09:48) Anyway, don't put a lot of things here, not everything has to be spoken about, you just have to choose what you want to say, and once you've written it down, the next step is to think about the structure of the presentation, a presentation is a story, it's a drama. The next thing to do is to think about the structure of the presentation, because a presentation is a story, it's a drama, so if you think about the structure and build it up, it will go well. And below that is the beginning, the end, and the end, the weather, which you learned in primary schools. But the goal is exactly what it says here.
(10:53) My goal today is to get people interested in presentations so that they can start putting them into practice tomorrow, and maybe they will say that the red man was too loud or that it was interesting, but that's not my goal. My goal is to make it easier for you to give your presentation tomorrow, and to get you interested in what I'm going to talk about and what the theme will be. I'm going to talk about some of the topics that I'm going to talk about today. I'm not good at public speaking, but what if I make a mistake, or what if someone asks me a weird question, or how hard is it to make a document, or something like that...
(11:58) I'm not good at public speaking, but I'm not afraid of making mistakes, what if someone asks me a weird question, what if I make a document? I told them to reject it. The prefecture's part is to explain the service, give a concrete demonstration, or explain the methodology to solve the problem. That's what I'm talking about in this presentation today (13:02).
(13:02) I'm trying to give you a concrete image of how this presentation is structured and what we're talking about here. I'm not sure how much it will cost if it's a management colour, or how cost-effective it will be. So in the last month, I'm trying to bring those goals back together, to bring the disparate vectors back to where I'm ultimately aiming for, and that's what LCDT is all about.
(14:07) So, you always include a summary at the end, and that summary is very important, because some people skip it because they don't have time, but to really bring it to the goal, you have to have a summary, and I might be summarizing because I don't have time today. I'm going to introduce some practical techniques for presentations, and I'm going to show you what you need to pay attention to when you're speaking in public. I'm sure you've heard of the hack I gave at Makuhari, where the background music was the opening music from the M1 Grand Prix. The opening music from the M1 Grand Prix is playing, and he comes in from the side and says "Hello" in a loud voice.
(15:11) The first impact is very important, especially in this case, it takes about 5 to 6 minutes. I think it's absolutely impossible for them to understand my service in 5 or 10 minutes. I'm not going to be remembered as a red comedian, but I'm going to be remembered as a red comedian.
(16:15) So, if I tell them that I'm meeting a red comedian while I'm saying it over and over again, Mr. Takahashi can make this kind of scheme work. I'm sure you all get tired, but when everyone participates, it makes me feel good, and it makes everyone feel good too, and we can all work towards the goal together. I know there are a lot of people out there, and the most important thing is to find positive listeners so that you don't get nervous. I'm finding some today, and they're nodding their heads.
(17:21) Anyway, I focus on the positive listeners who nod their heads, and I pretend to be looking at them. I can see the positive listeners by their behaviour, so I choose my audience mainly from that group, which is, for lack of a better word, a very important technique to avoid nervousness. I'm in the zone, I'm in the zone, the adrenaline is pumping, I'm in the zone, I'm in the zone.
(I'm in the zone right now, I'm pumping adrenaline, I'm pumping adrenaline from the moment I start speaking, and I'm pumping adrenaline from the moment the person in front of me starts speaking, and it's not good, but I'm really nervous, and you're all gonna think I'm lying, but I'm nervous because my heart rate on the Apple Watch probably hasn't changed, but it has, personally. I'm not saying it's great that I don't get nervous, but I do get nervous, but in a good way, and I can't wait to speak. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a lot of people in the same room, but I think it's a good idea to have a lot of people in the same room, and I think it's a good idea to have a lot of people in the same room.
(19:28) But when you're in the zone, you're usually successful, so I'm trying to get in the zone, and I'm also studying. I've been practising on the Keihin-Tohoku train today. The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your car is to make sure that it's not a car that's going to be used for a long time.
(The first thing to do is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you want to do and what you don't want to do. I talk about business on Facebook and business on Twitter, but Instagram is a completely different persona because it is completely gourmet and I personally prefer the gourmet side. I think that people who love this service so much that they can't help but love it, love it, love it, should be evangelists and the people who actually do it have that much service. I think that the person who is actually doing it should be an evangelist, and then people will say, "Oh, that's the person who does that service.
(21:34) I sometimes feel lonely [music] These customers are not enemies at all, but the most important time is within the company, and the people within the company, well, to put it simply, the people who are making fun of you, there are people who say, "I'm ashamed to be in the same company as him. I am in the business of providing this service, so I have enemies within the company, but I will not be discouraged by such things.
