Learning Presentation skills by learning to swim

 

OCTOBER 21, 2011 Friday 
3 Steps to Prepare an Effective Presentation
Delivering a successful presentation requires careful preparation. Next time you're getting ready to present, follow these three steps.
  • Create a clear narrative. Don't start by creating slides. First get your story down, and design slides or collect data to illustrate that compelling narrative.
  • Do a dry run. Read through the slides aloud. Do it seated in front of your computer screen so that you don't have to think about your body language.
  • Rehearse without slides. Finally, do a run-through while standing in a vacant conference room without your slides. This will allow you to concentrate on the story, as well as your eye contact, gestures, posture, and voice.

Positive Attitude exercises from chat GPT

 Absolutely! Here are some activities, ideas, and games you can incorporate into your training session on positive attitude and mindset for final year undergraduate students:

  1. (1) Positive Affirmations Exercise: Have each student write down three positive affirmations about themselves. Then, have them share with a partner or in small groups. This helps students focus on their strengths and positive qualities.

  2. (2) Gratitude Journal: Provide each student with a small notebook and encourage them to write down three things they are grateful for each day. Discuss the benefits of cultivating a gratitude mindset and how it can improve overall attitude.

  3. (3) Role-playing Scenarios: Create scenarios related to common challenges students may face in their academic or personal lives. Have students role-play these scenarios, focusing on maintaining a positive attitude and finding constructive solutions.

  4. (4) The Power of Yet: Teach students about the concept of "yet" as a growth mindset tool. For example, instead of saying "I can't do this," encourage them to say "I can't do this yet." Have students practice reframing negative statements into ones that acknowledge potential for growth and learning.

  5. (5) Positive Visualization: Guide students through a visualization exercise where they imagine achieving their goals and experiencing success. Encourage them to use all their senses to make the visualization as vivid as possible.

  6. (6) Two Truths and a Lie: Have each student share two true statements and one false statement about themselves related to their goals, aspirations, or personal interests. This activity helps students focus on their strengths and positive attributes.

  7. (7) Mindfulness Meditation: Lead a short mindfulness meditation session to help students practice being present in the moment and cultivating a positive mindset. This can also help reduce stress and anxiety.

  8. (8) Appreciation Circle: Form a circle and have each student take turns expressing appreciation for something about the person next to them. This fosters a sense of positivity and connection within the group.

  9. (9) Goal Setting Exercise: Guide students through setting SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals related to their academic and personal development. Emphasize the importance of maintaining a positive attitude while working towards their goals.

  10. (10) Positive Word Wall: Provide sticky notes or index cards and ask students to write down positive words or phrases that inspire them. Create a "Positive Word Wall" in the classroom where students can display their contributions.

Remember to facilitate discussions after each activity to reinforce key concepts and encourage reflection. Encourage students to share their insights and experiences throughout the training session.
