Presentation help

15 replies

itbemay · 22/03/2023 20:12

Hello all I have 5 mins to present to a group of around 60 at a work update day.

Remit is different, punchy with no power point.

I'm totally crap at presenting anyway so this terrifies me. Has anyone got any ideas of an easy way to give an update on what I've been doing for the past year in 5 minutes Smile.

Thanks!

Chat GPT will be your saving grace

Literally, just tell it to put a speech together based on.......
And voila
It will

We occasionally get these edicts. IMO, this results in far too many presentations where the content gets hidden behind the 'different'.
Depending on what you have been doing for the last year, sometimes story telling works well to keep the audience listening and engaging with what you have done.
But overall, just think very clearly about why you have done what you've done, what you did, what issues you have encountered, what was achieved, and what next. And then tell them that, no waffle.

Did you try it? It has been a game changer for me for certain studies 😏

EmbracingTheEyeBags · 22/03/2023 21:49

Just read that back and the emoji made it look weird 😆🤣

Thank you. This is also a good idea. Honestly these corporate days used to be a fun day out and a free lunch!!

@itbemay it's amazing honest. My husband (who can't spell and has zero gramma) sent me a message and I had a WTF moment. I KNEW he hadn't put it together.
Turns out he'd watched a YouTube vid on it and he asked it to send an email to his wife about our sons cold. It concocted the most professional piece of writing ever, within seconds!
My DMIL has since used it to write an email to her manager regarding a workplace complaint and she was also amazed.
You can literally ask it anything and it will help you with anything in seconds.
I may or may not have used it to help me with uni assignments 🤭

EmbracingTheEyeBags · 22/03/2023 22:04

Good luck tomorrow OP! if you remember, come back and let us know how all goes 😊

I woudldn't - so much of it is utter crap.

Fine for some blethery wording but completely untrustworthy for anything more complicated.

EmbracingTheEyeBags · 23/03/2023 22:47

@WeAreAllLionesses I've used it on my own work to help me reduce the word count as I do tend to 'waffle on'

WeAreAllLionesses · 23/03/2023 23:17

@EmbracingTheEyeBags but the point of a university assignment is to learn. And learning what to leave in and what to take out is key when you have to stick to a word count.
