Excellent Video, Richard. Thank you! Few questions: - How do I focus and relax at the same time? How do I kill the nervous stutter? How do I stop forgetting the necessary words due to the stage fright?
Hey Victor :) How do I focus and relax at the same time? - I hate to say it, but presenting is a sport that you have to practice in public. Put your hand up for every talk that needs to be done. How do I kill the nervous stutter? - You don't need to at all, I toured with a phenomenal speaker with a chronic stutter, he got a standing ovation every gig because his content was so good. If you craft your content in such a way that the audience needs to hear it, they do the work. But also, see point one above. How do I stop forgetting the necessary words due to the stage fright? - If I NEED to say something, it will be pasted on a slide like a billboard, it's rare though. The audience doesn't know what I intend on saying, so when I skip a line, nobody knows but me. Sending all the best wishes from Cancun!
@@RichMulholland OMG! when you said that one, I thought GENIUSSSSS! What a drag, hey, thanks for the quick response, and super presentation here! Really appreciate it. First day of school is tomorrow and I have 11 year olds.....that Attention Span is gonna be rough for 2 hours!!!! Cheers!
No, but I also don't pronounce schlep as sklep. As in "Replying to comments about different country's pronunciation and the inconsistencies in pronunciation in the English language is quite a schlep."
Why on earth do you have your camera view on small and your main screen on the billboard at min.5.00?? Seems like a foul on a Tutorial, or am I missing something? I came here to learn the night before a small presentation with only experience as an attendee only many times. Just seems like a strange example!
Well spotted. I address this at 7:45 - I usually adjust this at the start but wanted to demonstrate in this video how I ask the audience to enable side-by-side mode. I prob should have hinted earlier that this was coming :)
Hi! I am trying to connect with your company as a new client and is hard to get anyone to respond to our messages. Can anyone follow up? I emailed, Instagram and now leaving a message here.
Hahaha, in SA we say "Shed" not "Sked" but now I'm going to bed like Joey from Friends, "Suposably...supposabl...shejool." Thanks for the comment, have a great night.
@@RichMulholland Shedyool is the way to do it!! Who ever wanted skedyool? I come from just north of you so was also brought up on shedyool. We also have parths and barths and tomahtoes.
Hey, what do you mean video presentation? During online presos it's ALWAYS standing for me: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EMFwCQ3coxw.html
What do I do when my boss’s boss gives me less than 24 hours to prepare for a New Hire Orientation slide deck that is honestly horrible (horse made by a committee kind of horrible) and I don’t know the content well? Did I mention they want it to be an *actual hour* in length and there are 44 slides for an MS teams presentation. These people have no idea how to present. I literally taught public speaking while in college, and yet I’m pretty sure I’m stuck with a bad egg this time. OTL
Hey, for TEAMS (which is where happiness goes to die) I's suggest prezi video which easily imports even the shittiest of powerpoint files. Pic a very basic template in prezi Then use the 1,2,3 keys on your keyboard to bring the slides in and out of focus. That way you can introduce the content that they have given you, but not have to keep the docudeck in focus the whole time. It also means that you are not a small thumbnail. See my second to latest video for more on this. And remember that there are no boring subjects. The give-a-shit tanks of your new hires should be full, so use that to your advantage. Good luck :)
Actually it seems like whenever I tried switching to presenter view, the view in zoom also changed to the presenter view? Do you know what actually caused this?
Hahaha probably true. The problem to a degree is that YT punished the "EF" out of short vids. This video is three times as long as my usual and performed 100 x better than the average BECAUSE it is longer. It's so tricky. Thanks for watching though 👊🏽💥
Brilliant video thanks. You are one of the first I have watched who is actually "modelling" what you are trying to teach!! I assume that you cannot tell whether or not your participants actually do adjust their screens to 50:50 side my side mode?
For slides when you share your screen... you can go into advanced in the share menu and highlight which bit of screen you want to share. This means I can see all of my desktop and all the upcoming slides. The participants only see the "square" of the current slide. Thanks thought great tips
Hey Shawn , for Teams you can hit alt+f5 in ppt before you start, then you can share the ppt show with the audience and then alt+tab your speaker view to you (to avoid needing the post-its.
awesome video. very helpful. just a question...I cant seem to find side by side in the Share screen drop down. Is this only for the paid Zoom option or can you do this function on the free Zoom option?
@@RichMulholland What if you are doing a pre-recorded webinar? They will be viewing a video only, not actually be in the meeting. Is there any way I can make myself not be a little thumbnail for prerecorded videos in zoom?
@@sharonhuizinga2135 Sharon so sorry I missed this. I don't do prerecorded webinars this way. For that I recommend using prezi-video and sending that. It's the easiest of all the tools. Here's a primer: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ES6xpE_JPuQ.html
Hi, great video, but it still didn't solve my problem. I'm teaching kids, and sometimes I got some drawings on my shared desktop. How can I prevent that?! Thank you in advance.
I have a high school presentation this afternoon! I have been so stressed doing a presentation over zoom for the first time with a judgemental teacher. Wish me luck!
Thank you for the demonstration! What if I want to present over a presentation and just talking over the slides with no video on Zoom? What do you recommend? I already have the PP set up- do I just share the screen and start talking? I don't see a function that I am actually being recorded. What do you recommend? Thank you!
Excuse me when i share screen, why i cannot see myself in the corner like you? Would u mind helping me? I need to record myself with screen share and i myself is speaking? But is show only share screen. I cannot see myself speaking.
@@RichMulholland Not a problem Rich! Sorry I thought you would play the video, never mind. :) You said something about 'a setting on Zoom that notifies the Host when the Participants that are in the Zoom call have switched screens, for example accessing Facebook.' I tried to find it on the web browser setting but could not. Could you please guide me to this? A very handy feature indeed!

Why does a reasonably intelligent person go out and put those ugly tats on their bodies.... self inflected scars.... graffiti I've made my share of mistakes but at least I don't have to wear them..... Sir.... wear long sleeve shirts please. Ugh
Hi Chris, thanks for the comments. Sorry to hear that your world is so small that another person's choice to have a visible tattoo bothers you so much. I really hope that things get better for you going forward and that you're able to just see the best in people and keep your unnecessary judgmental negativity to yourself. I really do hope you have a fantastic weekend further.
The true mistake here is being so judgmental. The very reason I am watching this is due to suffering from social anxiety related to feeling judged when I present. It is people like you that make us feel that way. Do better.
