How to deliver PowerPoint presentations Delivery using 5-step approach: Much easier with this approach; you’ll be prepared: • Transitioning: - from main message to agenda: (“Having said that …, today we’ll discuss...”); - from agenda section to section: (“Having discussed such-and-such, let’s now move on to such-and-such…”) • Discussing a slide: - mention the bullet points and briefly state dash points - say names of categories, then their sub-points • Body language and eye contact—do what’s comfortable for you; otherwise, you’ll be distracted and won’t appear genuine; substance is much more important than style
