Speaker
needs to take the attention span into consideration when preparing a
presentation. Given that an average
person has an attention span of 15-20 minutes, the presentation needs to be
structured in a way that it gives the audience an opportunity to refocus.
Here are some
guidelines on how to create an efficient presentation:
1) You have the highest amount
of attention at the beginning of the presentation
-Clearly state your main points in the
introduction
2) Divide the presentation into several subtopics.
-By ending the
subtopics with the intermediate conclusion, it will help audience to refocus
3) Intentional repetition and good organization is the two key
elements of sustaining the attention level
-Repeat your main
messages in the introduction, body and conclusion
