11 Bids for a good presentation


Katja Kerschgens, the speaker, has surprised us. Instead of the agreed 10 commandments for a good presentation, she sent us eleven. "Who actually determines that it must be ten commandments?" Asks the author. It's right. Read here the eleven bids for a good presentation.


1. You should start unusually

Save long welcome words and elaborate content overviews. Get started right in the middle of the theme - just as a good book with an exciting scene starts. Surprise you from the beginning and make you curious about the rest!

2. You shall be free

Anyone who reads from the Powerpoint presentation does not talk, but a read. You lose any contact with your listeners. Keep eye contact with your audience, pick up thought-support from a small keyword in your hand.

3. You shall find the core message

If you had to write a class paper about your presentation theme tomorrow: What would be your cheat sheet? This is your core message! At the same time, you have completed your keyword list. Examples and stories are almost entirely yours.

4. You shall be visible

First you convince as a human, then only your content, but never the beamer! Look for a place in the middle of the room where you will be seen well. If necessary, the beamer must move aside. Build black pages into your PowerPoint presentation to keep you focused.

5. You should be important in your presentation

A powerpoint chart that explains itself makes you superfluous as a speaker. Why not hand out the presentation as a handout and after half an hour, do a multiple choice test with your audience? Show only the most necessary - you are the story!

6. Thou shalt observe the hearers' minds

Abstract words such as "innovative", "social" or "team-oriented" rush past your listeners with no effect. Replace these words with concrete examples and stories that produce images in the minds.

7. You should generate tension

Do not tell the murderer before the crime is over. For example, if you want to make a suggestion, you should praise the benefits of this proposal. Then only betray you: "This suggestion is ..."

8. You should generate more tension

Always construct small voltage arcs - even if you are presenting "only" numbers. "A number / result has particularly surprised us ..." or "Of the twenty key figures, one is particularly important as it is ... This number is: ..."

9. You shall entertain

Have a look at your presentation: Which three of the twelve points are the most important? Make these three points clear with stories, examples, concrete figures - and save yourself the rest. That keeps your listeners instead of overwhelming them.

10. Thou shalt end

Think about a good sentence and do not use typical phrases instead. Make a recommendation, bring your most important statement to the point or provide your personal assessment on the subject. So you will remember.

11. You shall put one more thing on it


Who actually determines that there must be ten commandments ? Who says you should not surprise with your presentations? Forget how others do it. Just because it's all going to happen, does not mean it's all right. Learn from the good speakers, not from the boring!

For beautiful tight legs: The 30 day leg challenge!

Let it burn: With this challenge, every day becomes a leg-day! As soon as the temperatures become summery again and the short pants season is up, the legs move back into the field of view. It means being prepared. Plays with our 30 day leg challenge and tightens your legs. Jumping squats for thighs and buttocks Squats, to German squats, are the absolute must-do for tight thighs and a crispy butt. Obviously, such an exercise must not be missed in a leg challenge, so we have picked out a super-effective variant in which the calves are also addressed. Here's how: Just get up, your feet are about shoulder-width apart. In order to spare your back and keep your upper body in good shape, your belly is taut. Lower your buttocks backwards as if you were going to sit down. Then you jump to the top. You can help with the arms and get some momentum (be careful not to bother your head). If this is too strenuous, or who has knee problems, shoul...

Do what you love!

In reference to the article on Facebook, I wrote that this year I have made it my job to read a book every week and you are the beneficiaries of this project because of my reading, of course, many books on the subject of independence. The first comment that followed on my posting was the demand as I create the time because and if I use apps like  Blinkist  .  For all those who do not know Blinkist: This app is an app that summarizes more than 1,500 technical books in short texts.  For the reading of these texts one does not usually need more than 15 minutes.  You can also listen to them. My answer to the question was: No, I'm not using blinkers, but I actually read the books completely.  For this I mainly use the time before bedtime.  One or two hours are left to me every day, depending on how exciting the book is and whether it is difficult for me to put the book out of my hand. But I also cover waiting times, bus or train rides by reading book...

BomBASTisch: These trend bags are the must-have in summer

Forgotten paint shoppers and glitter clutch - the new trend bags are true nature shoes. This summer we love to get a basket.   At least if it comes in the form of these beautiful trend bags.   The finely braided basket pockets and models of robust bast is just THE hit under Fashionistas.
