Creating Presentations

Whether it's a board meeting, client pitch, or team update, presentations require clear structure and compelling content. ChatGPT can help you plan, write, and polish presentations that engage your audience.

What ChatGPT Can Do for Presentations

• Create outlines and structure

• Generate speaker notes for each slide
• Craft opening hooks and closing calls-to-action
• Suggest visuals and data visualizations
• Anticipate questions and prepare answers
• Refine messaging for your audience

The Presentation Framework

For best results, tell ChatGPT:

1. Topic - What is the presentation about?
2. Audience - Who will be watching?
3. Goal - What do you want them to do or believe after?
4. Duration - How long will you present?
5. Context - What do they already know?
6. Format - In-person, virtual, or recorded?

Presentation Best Practices

1. One Idea Per Slide

Don't overcrowd. Each slide should make one clear point.

2. Less Text, More Talking

Slides are visual aids, not scripts. Put details in speaker notes.

3. Start Strong

The first 30 seconds set the tone. Invest time in your opening.

4. End With Clear Action

Never end with "Questions?" End with what you want them to do.

5. Practice With Notes

Use ChatGPT's speaker notes but practice until you're natural.

6. Prepare for Tough Questions

Anticipating objections shows confidence and preparation.

Great presentations don't just inform - they move people to action. Use ChatGPT to create content that's clear, compelling, and memorable.
