Before you begin creating content,
consider where and
0:00
how you will be presenting.
0:03
Knowing about the venue and
0:05
the tools you'll be using,
will guide you in your planning.
0:06
Will you be presenting to
your audience in person, or
0:10
will you be delivering your presentation
remotely, over a video chat?
0:13
At Treehouse, it's common for the
presenter to be both in a room with a few
0:17
employees and also hosting remote
employees via video or vice versa.
0:21
The presenter may be remote with other
folks watching from the office or
0:26
also remotely.
0:29
If you will be delivering your
presentation from the office,
0:31
be aware of the conference room setup.
0:34
It may still be too early
to reserve the room, but
0:36
as you get closer to the date, you will
wanna be sure your space is secured.
0:39
Be sure that you chose a room that's big
enough for your in person audience and
0:43
make sure the room has all the video and
screen sharing technology you may need.
0:47
If you'll be delivering your presentation
remotely, make sure you're familiar with
0:53
any conferencing or video sharing
software that your company uses.
0:57
Whether you'll be in the office or
1:01
somewhere else,
just get familiar with the environment.
1:03
Be aware of the noise levels, lighting and
camera set up, if applicable.
1:06
Just like a presentation that is wordy and
visually unappealing, environmental
1:11
distractions can also detract from being
able to effectively share information.
1:15
Next, have an understanding of what types
of tools are commonly used at work for
1:22
sharing presentations.
1:26
Here at Treehouse we tend
to use Google Slides,
1:27
due to the company's distributed nature.
1:30
Google Slides makes it very easy
to share a presentation online,
1:33
regardless of what type of computer or
operating system you're using.
1:36
Other companies might use other types of
presentation software like PowerPoint
1:40
or Keynote.
1:45
It's always best to find out what is most
commonly used at your office and use it.
1:46
I can personally attest to having spent
time making a presentation in one format,
1:51
only to be asked to transfer
it another format later on.
1:56
That's it for now.
2:00
Coming up I'll discuss how to
take all of this information and
2:01
begin to prepare your actual presentation.
