Effectively Standing Out
Leeland Artra
Topic: Soft Skills
Audience: All audiences
Description:
This time you didn't dodge fast enough and you've been asked to give a presentation in front of the staff or at a seminar or possibly in front of a much larger audience. Or maybe you give lots of talks, but you wonder about how you can make your talks more effective?
This presentation is to present some ideas about effect presentations. The material is all about organizational, appearance and other surface. We will not cover the actual content of a talk (because it is, of course, spectacular).
There are hundreds, if not thousands of "Effective Presentation" papers, talks, web sites and other reference material. Most of them conflict on more then one idea. There are some effective presentation ideas which are almost universally accepted by the general population as the "way it is" and they are very wrong. Since almost every aspect of this presentation could be (an likely will be) argued, there will be solid justification, background data and other details for the ideas given. If you have tips to share, please send a message and your comments will be included (if they're reasonable).

The primary goal of the information systems research component of CSI is to develop an optimal computing environment for collaborating, distributed groups of biologists.
