It cannot be denied that the presentation that uses PowerPoint has become standard and has been used everywhere, whether it is in government agencies, universities or in schools.

The followings are some tips for making a good PowerPoint presentation, so that your presentation will be preferred and given applause by the audience. It is known that with a good presentation, your project proposals, suggestions or your opinions have a great chance for approval.

1. Easy to read

A good presentation is easy to read, so you should use standard letters, like Arial or Times New Roman. Besides, use letters that are quite big, so your audience does not get difficulty to read the letters.

2. A clear title on each slide

You should use bold, clear and easy to read letters on your each slide title.

3. Simple background

Notice the background that you use on each slide that you create. Do not let the sentences you have written unclear to read because you wear too contrasting background.

4. Graphics and Charts

Using images such as charts and diagrams will help you to explain about the topic you are presenting better. In addition, by using graphics or charts, you will refresh the atmosphere and invite the attention of the audience.

5. Stay focus

Just write down the principal matters in connection with the topic you are presenting. Do not use too many words or sentences in a presentation slide, but simply write your title or course outline. You should also make sure that every slide you create is related to one another.

6. Do not have too many slides

Do not make too many presentation slides for one topic you discuss. Make slides as efficiently as possible. If the topic you discuss is long indeed, a verbal explanation would be better.

7. Speak clearly
When giving the presentation, try to speak clearly, so that the audience could understand the presentation you deliver. Most audiences think that PowerPoint presentation is not quite interesting and with your creativity and good conversation, you could change this view.

8. Give opportunity to ask

If possible, take the time to provide the opportunity for the audience to ask questions about things that are not understood from the presentation that you convey.

9. Future Follow Up

Another important thing is to give audiences the opportunity to ask questions at another time on the topic of your presentation. So, do not hesitate to put down your e-mail list, no. phone or website at the end of your presentation. This could be a plus for you.

I have recently helped several clients negotiate better contracts for themselves. Not just better financially, but more aligned with professional goals they have and the types of work they actually enjoy doing. Negotiation is a steep learning curve for many, but vital to understand.

Getting to “Yes” – Negotiating with Panache

The higher you climb up the professional ladder, the more your daily work life revolves around negotiations for both you and your team mates. Most people initially think of salary packages when considering negotiation skills. However, these skills can range from eliciting help from colleagues to getting support for your new ideas from more senior colleagues and board members.

Identify your main goal for the negotiation and where you would be prepared to compromise. Always go in asking for a bit more than you would like, more money for a project, more salary or holiday entitlement, more funding for staff training. If you have an idea of what your main goals are, the areas on which you compromise will seem like “gifts” or concessions to the other side, making you appear more reasonable and willing to negotiate.

Do not remain so attached to the idea of “winning” the argument. Putting your point of view forward without seeming to be attached to the results helps others lower their guard, relax and be able to see your perspective. Going in with a cross to bear only elicits resistance and tension in others. If you stick to the benefits and logic of an argument, often others will embrace it and sometimes even think of it as their idea – a major benefit if you want implementation more than recognition.

Top Tips for Effective Negotiation

1. Assume everyone has influence. When trying to land a sale or impress at an interview, never assume you know who is completely in charge. Heads of organisations often take advice from a wide range of people, so don’t concentrate your efforts only on one person. A kind word for a secretary or personal assistant often helps just getting you the interview slot you want and in fact, many executives will solicit information about your demeanour from their staff. So don’t wait to turn on the charm until you see the whites of the CEO’s eyes – greet everyone with respect.

2. When entering a negotiation, listen to the other side first. You will frequently hear priorities that overlap with your point of view. Verbally recognise these points and build them into a foundation for the concept you are proposing. Listening also conveys that you want this to be a collaborative process, a good start for any negotiator.

3. Verbally reflect what they are saying to convey that you understand what they want. Use phrases like “What I hear you saying is-” or “If I understand you correctly -”. This allows them to correct any miscommunication while demonstrating they are truly being heard; an invaluable asset for any negotiation.

4. After listening, start by emphasising the points with which you agree. Shared priorities and experiences allow differences of opinion to be only one part of the story of how you both want to move forward.

5. If you can, phrase all of your questions in an open manner avoiding answers that are likely to begin with “No”. Limiting the usage of this word keeps the atmosphere feeling collaborative, not combative.

6. At the end, summarise the agreements, actions points and compromises each side will be taking from the meeting and minute the details as this can eliminate problems or back-tracking later on.

The United Kingdom introduced new asbestos regulations in the country in November of the year 2002 and called these new regulations The Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2002 or simply CAWR2002. A couple of years later on and more particularly on 21st May 2004 it became mandatory for all United Kingdom commercial premises to adhere to and comply with the CAWR2002. In other words, it became necessary for the duty holder to have the right asbestos policy in force on their premises.

The upshot of these asbestos regulations was that it meant that all commercial buildings will need to maintain some form of record which should in turn have been compiled by competent persons regarding each material that either contains asbestos or is presumed to be containing asbestos. All these records should be kept in a register called the asbestos register.

However, present asbestos regulations fail to define who the competent person is though it is expected that such a person be someone that has passed the P402 examination that is especially geared toward the purpose of conducting asbestos surveying. Whats more, these regulations are especially designed for the purpose of providing employees and visitors to the premises with required protection against dangers inherent in the presence of asbestos in the workplace.

Though, ever since the eighties, the use of asbestos has been banned in all United Kingdom construction, there are still a number of materials being manufactured as well as used until the year 1999 that could be deemed as being asbestos containing materials. At present, estimates show that in the entire United Kingdom, at least half of all asbestos that was used in the construction of buildings continues to remain thereby posing a continual danger.

Of course, asbestos does not always pose a health danger and in a majority of cases it will not do any harm and so does not need to be removed. Nonetheless, it must be understood that disturbing or damaging of asbestos through an accident or via maintenance can lead to significant health risks. It is to protect people from such dangers that the present asbestos regulations have been introduced.

Even so, despite the ban on use of asbestos in the United Kingdom, deaths related to this material continue to go up and the biggest increase in such deaths seems not to be among those who actually work in the asbestos industry, especially in the period ranging from the years 1899 through till the eighties. Instead, the worst affected are those who work as maintenance workers including electricians and plumbers as well as heating and even telephone engineers.

It must also be understood that there are no real safe limits of asbestos levels and if exposed to this material the consequences can indeed be very dire. This is why companies or anyone else that does not comply with existing asbestos regulations will be severely penalized including having to pay hefty financial fines and perhaps even being jailed and worse can follow.

In the worst case, non compliance can lead to not being able to purchase employers and public liability insurance and even maintenance companies can refuse to work on the premises.
