Quick Presentation

[Odon Irving]

Apresentation helps you get a message across to your audience and make it easier to persuade them. A presentation could be used to talk about your organization, present ideas for improvement or reporting within your company.

Product: Madden 18

Platform:Sony Playstation 4

I want to talk about something you don't mention above: Madden 19

How accessible is the current experience? I can use parts of it

Summarize what in the product is difficult to use. The presentation during franchise mode during games causes me to lose interest during games making in very difficult to stick with franchise mode for very long. I don't have much fun with online matches or any fun with ultimate team, so my main game mode is hindered.

How is this making it more difficult? Difficult to get through franchise games due to my attention span and losing interesting in the game.

How can we reproduce this experience? Play through a season.

Overall it's OK when the games first comes out (this applies to all Madden games and looking to get this changed for Madden 19), but after having played a season at most the the games start to become a chore to get through due to the presentation. It just gets repetitive and I understand you can only do so much, but as someone with difficulty keeping my attention on something, sitting through presentation that doesn't add anything for me to do that I've seen before many times gets very cumbersome. I noticed in Madden 18 (maybe 17 as well) here is a quick presentation option in exhibition modes which was an absolutely phenomenal improvement for me. I was just wondering if this would be possible to add to franchise as well. Quick presentation allows me to do what I'm trying to do, and that's play a game of football.

Today I gave my students a quick presentation on some of the basic considerations for composition, which I am now sharing with you! I've given them separate talks about color and tonal value/contrast, which are also super important compositional concerns. (I'll be sharing those presentations too once I properly format them) I personally love learning about different compositional techniques. It's fun to think about the ways that the brain views & sorts images, and how we can trick it into feeling a certain way or looking at certain aspects of an image first! It's easy to fall into compositional ruts (which I am also guilty of) because a lot of art gets by with mediocre, though serviceable, compositions. If you can generally understand what's happening in an image then it's generally fine. However, it's the truly great compositions, where everything in the whole image has been considered and 'clicks' together, that bump up an illustration to a visual slam dunk. NC Wyeth is one of my favorite artists for this reason: his compositions are rock solid, varied based on the image's intent, and always enhance the mood or action he is depicting. For extra reading, some online compositional resources that I've found helpful or interesting include: Creative Illustration by Andrew Loomis (download it for FREE. Such a great book all-around.) Gurney Journey (check out the "Composition" tag, but really everything he posts is great) The Schweitzer guide to spotting tangents Cinemosaic (a blog by Lou Romano with some truly WONDERFUL compositions captured from various films) Where to Put the Cow by Anita Griffin Happy composition-ing!

Lucidchart had a quick keyboard shortcut that would put the current page I was working on in full Presentation mode. We are now required to create a 'slide' and then present that. I understand why you have slides and use them but why remove my teams ability to easily and quickly present the entire page/document? Please bring that back.

This will allow you to view the canvas without the distraction of the tool bars and shape menus. Alternatively it may be helpful to create a slide of your full canvas and present that using our current presentation mode option.

That said we're always looking for ways to improve Lucidchart and your feedback is the best way for us to do that. If you would like to see the quick presentation option become available again would you mind adding your idea to our product feedback space? Ideas discussed here are passed on to the product development team for their consideration.

So at that conference, I did my presentation on training in CPI programs, but also two Pecha Kuchas. First I was awarded an Apple Watch for my performance, and second I was given a standing ovation. Since then, I have been hooked on speed presentations.

This was such an eye-opener to me, that now when faced with a presentation, I will often outline it as if I was doing a Pecha Kucha; it forces focus. I then will build my presentation from that outline.

Just before COVID, I was lucky enough to participate in Seattle Ignite. I repurposed a speech from Toastmasters (read a past article on Toastmasters HERE) and have to say, it is one of my best speeches to date.

I highly encourage folks to explore and try these formats. Here are links for more information on the two popular formats; Pecha Kucha and Ignite Talks (Please note I am not affiliated with either; just a fan of the format):

There are times when you must scramble to get ready for a last-minute presentation. You might have been asked to step in for someone else. Or you may be asked to give an unexpected debrief or an update with only an hour's notice.

We can usually recall a story about a situation we've experienced or are familiar with. And because we're already familiar with the subject of our story, we'll most likely be able to improvise and add details once we're on stage. This spontaneity will enhance your delivery and move you away from "presenter mode," where you might look like you're reciting facts.

How can you quickly prepare for a last-minute presentation by using a story? I posed the question to communication coach and theorist Dr. Nick Morgan, president of public speaking consultants Public Words.

When preparing a last-minute presentation, consider involving the audience as much as you can. For example, when planning your presentation, identify opportunities in your material to ask the audience questions.

Remember," says Oud, your audience is also full of good ideas. Tap into the great knowledge your audience possesses. Let the audience do the work for you. How do they define the topic you are talking about? For example: how do they define establishing trust? How would they establish it? Then, using your own knowledge and expertise, expand on their responses by having them consider things they have not thought of.

In addition to asking questions throughout your presentation, you can plan a question-and-answer session. Consider preparing a few quick slides to explain your point for potentially complex questions you haven't had time to rehearse. Note the numbers of these slides so you can go to them quickly while answering the question. You can say: "This question comes up frequently. I created a slide to help explain the issue better." Or, "I had a hunch this question might come up. Let me pull out a slide that will clarify the issue."

Even a little practice, advises Clark, can help you feel more confident. It can make you aware of tricky parts of the presentation where you'll need to especially concentrate. That confidence typically translates into a strong and more compelling presentation."

Examples of attention-grabbing opening statements include a story that leads you into your topic, a relevant startling statistic, or a current headline. Here are additional ideas on how to craft a compelling opening statement.

"What I like to do and teach my clients," says Navarro, "is find a wall and place both hands on the wall shoulder-width apart, and with one leg back and one forward, lean into the wall as if holding it in place, straining the arms and shoulders muscles, just enough to feel the muscular tension. (It looks like a suspect under arrest.)

When I first tried this out I was all over the place, some slides taking 7 seconds and some 34 seconds. I spent time rearranging, deleting and massaging. In the screen shot above you can see that I had got most of the slides close to 15 seconds, but I still had some work to do to shorten some.

Ignite is one type of presentation format when preparing a script is virtually essential during the preparation phase. Working from a script allows you to massage your sentences to fit the 15 second time blocks. A slight change in sentence structure can make a significant change in the time it takes to say something. So this is one occasion where you should plan to say it the same way every time (not normally something I recommend).
