Presentation Workshop

Basic Presentation Skills

In order to communicate the core message of your presentation, there is an effective means to do so...

How to tell a story through the use of; What?, So What?, Now What?

What?

what is the summary of the problem you are attempting to solve

"[There is a __________, a ___________ and a __________]"

e.g. OddWatch

"[There is a problem that after university, students lose access to tools and facilities. In the United Kingdom, there are X% of students who feel they are unready for work. Graduates from Canterbury (CCC, UCA, CC] feel that (Y%) they struggle to continue working on their portfolio after graduating due to losing access to facilities]"

So What?

what would happen if the problem were to go unsolved. What has your research told you?

"[The __________ is an issue which will present my intended demographic a hard time]"

e.g. OddWatch

"[recent graduates will need to spend a large amount of money to reacquire access to the tools and facilities they had at university.]"

---

Now What?

what is the course of action? What do you need to do in order to solve the 'What?' and 'So What?'

"[A solution to the problem previously described]"

e.g. OddWatch

"[A service is needed that functions as an extra step to prepare graduates for work and allows continued access to needed facilities.]"

Throughlines

What is the core idea you are trying to get from your head, into someone else's head?

["A space that allows students to continue to use tools."]

Reflection Segment

"Something that I had struggled with is communicating the idea of my project. Part of that was due to the fact I was improvising the majority of the pitch to the class. Most likely a script would have avoided unnecessary confusion. However, this method might be worth a go. It can assist putting my idea in its most simplest form so that anyone should be able to understand it."
