Getting Started with Your Presentation Using your presentation software of choice (Keynote, PowerPoint, Google Slides, etc.) create a 3-5 minute narrated presentation that shows AND tells your story. A narrated presentation is one in which your slides include a voice over explaining what is being shown on screen. To be clear, the deliverable for this activity is a video of your presentation, not a Keynote or PowerPoint file. What if my presentation is longer than 5 minutes? Keeping your presentation short forces you to do several important things: Compose your notes ahead of time Record the voice over from a script Keep your insights brief, yet impactful Honor best practices for creating engaging media How to Write SMART Goals S: Specific M: Measurable A: Achievable R: Relevant or Realistic T: Time-bound For this course, anytime you are working on goal setting, your goals should follow the SMART goal model. SMART Goal Example: In the next three weeks, I will create a LinkedIn profile and request to connect with 5 people who are working in my desired industry. *Each SMART Goal should contain ALL 5 SMART elements.
