    Myths and Mistakes of Technical Presentations
    1. Content is everything. Style is unimportant and
    enthusiasm is offensive

    Mehrabian, a communication theorist, showed that

    Body language and tone of voice together supply 93% of the


    overall message impact

    Actual words only supply 7% of the overall impact

    Salaheddin Abu Yahya 3/19/2020 4


    2. The text on the visuals is more important than the
    speaker.

    Salaheddin Abu Yahya


    Remember, the speaker is always the
    focal point of presentation, visual
    assistance helps
    Pace of the presentation
    Flow of the information presented

    3. Strategic organization is not necessary for technical talks.


    ❑Technical speaker must not rely on the audience to fill in gaps and
    reach appropriate conclusions.
    ❑Technical speaker must understand different types of presentations,
    organization, and strategies for a particular type of speech.
