Audio visual aids can be both the strength and the weakness of a speech.  Too often speakers think that elaborate, fancy, or high tech A/V will save an otherwise weak presentation, which is certainly not the case.  On the other hand, the effective use of A/V and other props (handouts, physical illustrations, etc.) can be an effective way to keep your audience actively interested.  This presentation will identify when, why, and how to effectively use props, power point, hand-outs, and visual aids.

​

Take-aways:

​

• Make Effective use of Audio/Visual Props.

• When, how, and why you need hand-outs.

• Fun Ideas for types of hand-out material and audience give-aways you can use.
