David Nottage BPS

David Nottage BPS Welcome to David Nottage BPS. A Public Speaking Consultancy working with organisations or individuals

TORQUE Ltd was founded in1994 by David Nottage, a World Champion of Public Speaking. David has been actively involved with presentation skills for over 28 years and his ambition was to use his knowledge and skills to help people to be more confident in their Business Presentations and Communication Skills. TORQUE's motto is; 'Presentations that work for life' and David certainly practices what he

preaches as is evident by his many successes. The same techniques and skills David used to win the prestigious title of world Champion can be yours to use to win multi million dollar contracts, secure executive promotions or simply stand up at your childโ€™s school and express your thoughts and concerns. David attributes his success to a combination of factors including his goals and aspirations to become a World Champion. As a professional trainer and speaker he believes the single most important factor in being successful in business is to generate and maintain an effective team who can represent their organisation in a dynamic and professional manner. David is an Australian born New Zealander, a Kiwi with an attitude, an attitude for success. He has come a long way in the past twenty plus years from someone who was too scared to speak in front of a group of four people without a massive anxiety attack, to being a dynamic presenter who eclipsed over 20,000 Toastmasters to win the ultimate pinnacle in public speaking, the World Championship for Toastmasters International. Torque Business is celebrating our 20th year of helping people with their presentations.

Distance from your camera matters. Make sure your video feed shows a little space above your head. Do not sit too far (from the camera) that you blend in with your background, and also not too close that you fill the whole video. Also, make sure that your camera is at your eye level.

Dos:

โœ”๏ธ Make sure the contents of your presentation can be seen from all sides of the room. People should not exhaust their eyes to see it.
โœ”๏ธ Keep your visuals simple and clutter-free. One image should demonstrate one concept or contain one message.
โœ”๏ธ Choose professional-looking images for your presentation. Spelling mistakes and poor quality images have a negative impact on your credibility and professionalism.
โœ”๏ธ Select visual aids that have relevance to your audience. Use images that your audience is familiar with.
โœ”๏ธ Keep visual aids brief. Do not spend too much time explaining each slide.
โœ”๏ธ Use charts and graphs to support the presentation of numerical information.
โœ”๏ธ Use a laser pointer to direct the audienceโ€™s attention to the part of an image or graphic that might not be obvious to them.

Donโ€™ts:

โœ”๏ธ Do not turn your back to the audience when explaining your visual aids.
โœ”๏ธ Do not read from your visuals. If the audience can read what you are saying, there is no point in listening to the speech.
โœ”๏ธ Do not over-use color or mix different fonts
โœ”๏ธ Do not assume that your images are self-explanatory. Most visual aids should be explained and even linked to a particular story.
โœ”๏ธ Do not wave the laser pointer all over the screen as you talk. It is distracting and makes it hard to keep up with your speech.
โœ”๏ธ Do not just list the information. Make a point with each slide!

Do NOT apologise during a presentation. Be it your presentation content, your accent, your lack of knowledge in certain areas, or your basic mistakes, do not apologise, because you will quickly lose your credibility.
