Make the Technology Invisible

It may be desirable to "show off" a bit to let your audience know how technically savvy you are--a high-tech image can be good for business. But remember, the role of any presentation product is a supporting one. Strive to keep the tools as transparent to the persuasion process as possible.

An audience that is thinking about your cool use of special effects or your sexy presentation system is not thinking about your message.

  • Never add sound or visual effects without good reason.
  • Never fuss with equipment settings during a presentation.
  • Keep equipment out of audience sightlines.
  • Do not let the projector block the view of you or the screen.
  • Don't look down at the mouse or keyboard unnecessarily.
  • Always use a wireless remote/mouse.
  • Shield computer backs and messy wires with drapes.
  • Get comfortable with the technology through practice.
