How to Make an Effective Presentation in the Meeting Room


Whatever your philosophy is on making presentations in the meeting room there are some basic tenets that prevail. Here are Five critical points to observe when preparing a presentation.
  1. Research – Conduct the necessary research so that your presentation ideas are well adapted to your audience’s technical level and needs. Connect your presentation objective/message/idea to the interests of your audience. If possible, when preparing your presentation, gather info on the needs, age, educational background, language, and culture of the target audience. Even on the day of the presentation the audience’s body language will give cues that may require the you to adapt your presentation style.
  2. Compact – A good presentation should be focused and in iterative. There should be a preview, an ‘in-view’ (the actual presentation) and a review so that ‘the BIG idea’ of the presentation is communicated effectively.
  3. Engage – Use eye contact with your audience, face them squarely and smile. Your facial expression and posture will affect your tone of voice and the tone of the presentation. Avoid letting your voice trail off as you transition from slide to slide or segment to segment of your presentation.
  4. Rehearse – Practice the presentation to make sure it flows and to ensure you have allocated time for introductions, questions and answers. This is a good time to make sure that all tools and equipments are working well.
  5. Have Fun - Doable? Yes. Present in a way that communicates your passion for the topic. Energy and enthusiasm is contagious!! See?

How Does the Mobile Professional or Virtual Office User Leverage the ‘Cloud’?



Posted on  by 
Has anyone ever tried to explain cloud computing to you? Were you left feeling a little, well… cloudy?
The best example of cloud computing I can think of is an email service like Gmail or Hotmail.There’s nothing to download. All you need is an internet connection and you can start sending emails. The server and software is all on the cloud (internet) and is totally managed by the cloud service provider. All you have to do is use the software and enjoy receiving and sending off those emails.
‘Why buy a cow when you can have the milk for way way less?’ 
 Just to send an email (the milk) why should you have to buy a software /hardware (the cow) ?

The Cloud can make your business more efficient than ever!
Cloud computing allows for much more efficient computing by centralizing storage, memory, processing and bandwidth. For the mobile professional who probably uses a virtual office service, cloud services provide the perfect solution to ‘storage’ and ‘connectivity’ challenges.
