The formal presentation of information is divided into two broad categories: Presentation Skills and Personal Presentation .

These two aspects are interwoven and can be described as the preparation, presentation and practice of verbal and non-verbal communication. 

This article describes what a presentation is and defines some of the key terms associated with presentation skills.

Many people feel terrified when asked to make their first public talk.  Some of these initial fears can be reduced by good preparation that also lays the groundwork for making an effective presentation.

A Presentation Is...

A presentation is a means of communication that can be adapted to various speaking situations, such as talking to a group, addressing a meeting or briefing a team.

A presentation can also be used as a broad term that encompasses other ‘speaking engagements’ such as making a speech at a wedding, or getting a point across in a video conference.

To be effective, step-by-step preparation and the method and means of presenting the information should be carefully considered. 

A presentation requires you to get a message across to the listeners and will often contain a ' persuasive ' element. It may, for example, be a talk about the positive work of your organisation, what you could offer an employer, or why you should receive additional funding for a project.

The Key Elements of a Presentation

Making a presentation is a way of communicating your thoughts and ideas to an audience and many of our articles on communication are also relevant here, see: What is Communication? for more.

Consider the following key components of a presentation:

Ask yourself the following questions to develop a full understanding of the context of the presentation.

When and where will you deliver your presentation?

There is a world of difference between a small room with natural light and an informal setting, and a huge lecture room, lit with stage lights. The two require quite different presentations, and different techniques.

Will it be in a setting you are familiar with, or somewhere new?

If somewhere new, it would be worth trying to visit it in advance, or at least arriving early, to familiarise yourself with the room.

Will the presentation be within a formal or less formal setting?

A work setting will, more or less by definition, be more formal, but there are also various degrees of formality within that.

Will the presentation be to a small group or a large crowd?

Are you already familiar with the audience?

With a new audience, you will have to build rapport quickly and effectively, to get them on your side.

What equipment and technology will be available to you, and what will you be expected to use?

In particular, you will need to ask about microphones and whether you will be expected to stand in one place, or move around.

What is the audience expecting to learn from you and your presentation?

Check how you will be ‘billed’ to give you clues as to what information needs to be included in your presentation.

All these aspects will change the presentation. For more on this, see our page on Deciding the Presentation Method .

The role of the presenter is to communicate with the audience and control the presentation.

Remember, though, that this may also include handing over the control to your audience, especially if you want some kind of interaction.

You may wish to have a look at our page on Facilitation Skills for more.

The audience receives the presenter’s message(s).

However, this reception will be filtered through and affected by such things as the listener’s own experience, knowledge and personal sense of values.

See our page: Barriers to Effective Communication to learn why communication can fail.

The message or messages are delivered by the presenter to the audience.

The message is delivered not just by the spoken word ( verbal communication ) but can be augmented by techniques such as voice projection, body language, gestures, eye contact ( non-verbal communication ), and visual aids.

The message will also be affected by the audience’s expectations. For example, if you have been billed as speaking on one particular topic, and you choose to speak on another, the audience is unlikely to take your message on board even if you present very well . They will judge your presentation a failure, because you have not met their expectations.

The audience’s reaction and therefore the success of the presentation will largely depend upon whether you, as presenter, effectively communicated your message, and whether it met their expectations.

As a presenter, you don’t control the audience’s expectations. What you can do is find out what they have been told about you by the conference organisers, and what they are expecting to hear. Only if you know that can you be confident of delivering something that will meet expectations.

See our page: Effective Speaking for more information.

How will the presentation be delivered?

Presentations are usually delivered direct to an audience.  However, there may be occasions where they are delivered from a distance over the Internet using video conferencing systems, such as Skype.

It is also important to remember that if your talk is recorded and posted on the internet, then people may be able to access it for several years. This will mean that your contemporaneous references should be kept to a minimum.

Impediments

Many factors can influence the effectiveness of how your message is communicated to the audience.

For example background noise or other distractions, an overly warm or cool room, or the time of day and state of audience alertness can all influence your audience’s level of concentration.

As presenter, you have to be prepared to cope with any such problems and try to keep your audience focussed on your message.   

Our page: Barriers to Communication explains these factors in more depth.

Continue to read through our Presentation Skills articles for an overview of how to prepare and structure a presentation, and how to manage notes and/or illustrations at any speaking event.

Presentation

• Written By Gregg Rosenzweig
• Updated: June 4, 2024

We’re here to help you choose the most appropriate content types to fulfill your content strategy. In this series, we’re breaking down the most popular content types to their basic fundamentals so you can start with a solid foundation — simple definitions, clarity on formats, and plenty of examples.

What is a Presentation?

A communication device that relays a topic to an audience in the form of a slide show, demonstration, lecture, or speech, where words and pictures complement each other.

Why should you think of presentations as content?

The beauty of content creation is that almost anything can become a compelling piece of content . It just depends on the creativity used to convert it and the story that brings it to life.

The long and short of it

Although the length of a presentation in terms of time can depend on the overall approach (Are you talking a lot? Are you referring to the screen in detail or not?), consider the number of informational content slides when tallying the overall presentation length. For instance, don’t include title slides in your tally when conveying length to a content creator.

A general guide to presentation length:

• Short Form (5 content slides)
• Standard Form (10 content slides)
• Long Form (20+ content slides)

Popular use cases for presentations…

Let’s consider TED Talks for a minute: one of the best examples (bar none) of how words, pictures, and a narrative can make people care about something they otherwise might not.

These “talks” pre-date podcasts and blend a compelling use of language and imagery in presentation format to spread ideas in unique ways.

TED Talks have been viewed a billion-plus times worldwide (and counting) and are worth considering when it comes to how you might use video-presentation content to connect with your customers in creative, cool, new ways.

Business types:

Any company that has a pitch deck, executive summary, sales presentation, or any kind of internal document can repurpose them into external-facing content pieces — without pain.

Presentation Examples – Short Form

Here are some short-form examples with curated to help inspire you.

All 37 Sith Lords In Star Wars Canon

I worked at the galactic starcruiser, & i can tell you what everyone's getting wrong about the "star wars hotel", every star wars backlash i've ever seen has really been about the same thing.

The word "Darth" has been part of the Star Wars franchise since the beginning, leading fans to ask about its meaning and which Sith Lord used the title first. When audiences were introduced to Darth Vader in 1977, it appeared that this was just his name, especially since Ben Kenobi called him "Darth." However, George Lucas always intended for Vader to be a Dark Lord of the Sith, and the Star Wars prequel trilogy revealed more about Sith customs. Rather than being exclusive to Vader, every Sith had the title "Darth," a tradition that continued in subsequent Star Wars media.

The original Star Wars Expanded Universe , now known as "Legends," offered possible explanations for what the word "Darth" means. Some stories even speculated on its origin and the Sith Lord who first called themselves "Darth," adding greater depth to Sith lore. While this history is no longer confirmed in the official Star Wars canon, some details may still apply due to references in certain stories. There is also a definitive canon explanation for what Darth means, why the Sith adopted it, and how it aligns with their philosophy in Star Wars .

"Darth" Is From The Sith Language

A word with many possible meanings.

According to the canon reference guide Star Wars Made Easy by Christian Blauvelt, "Darth loosely translates to "Dark Lord," making it a fitting title for a Sith.

Before the Sith Order used "Darth", it was a word from the red-skinned Sith species. According to the canon reference guide Star Wars Made Easy by Christian Blauvelt, "Darth loosely translates to "Dark Lord," making it a fitting title for a Sith. Once they had committed to the ways of the dark side, a Sith apprentice would take the title "Darth" along with a new name to symbolize leaving their old life behind . Sith Lords like Darth Vader took this to an extreme, referring to Anakin Skywalker as if he were a different person.

In the Star Wars Legends timeline, the origin of the word "Darth" was unknown, leading to several theories. Several Star Wars projects suggested that "Darth" came from the Rakata language and was either a corruption of Daritha , meaning "emperor," or a combination of darr (triumph/conquest) and tah (death), symbolizing "triumph over death" or "conquest through death." Of course, none of these theories were proven, leaving the meaning and origin of "Darth" a mystery in the Legends timeline.

"Darth" may also be a combination of letters from the title " Dar k Lord of the Si th ."

Darth Andeddu Is Believed To Have Been The First To Use The Title

At least in the star wars legends timeline.

While the first Sith Lord to use the "Darth" title in canon is unknown, Star Wars: Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force by Ryder Windham suggested that it was Darth Andeddu in Legends. Known as the "Immortal God-King of Prakith," Andeddu ruled for centuries like a deity, though he remained paranoid of other Sith Lords stealing his collection of Sith lore. Andeddu also possessed the ability to transfer his essence into another body , something both Darth Bane and Darth Sidious would try to achieve thousands of years after his death.

The greatest villains of Star Wars, the Sith are the Jedi's most fearsome enemies. Here are all 36 Dark Lords of the Sith revealed to date.

Andeddu still exists in the Star Wars canon , mentioned in Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader's Castle #2 by Cavan Scott. With so little known about Andeddu in canon, it's unclear if he is still considered the first Sith Lord to go by "Darth," especially when he was referred to only as "Andeddu" in the comic. Perhaps a future Star Wars story or reference guide will delve more into the ancient history of the Sith and clarify where the word "Darth" came from and which Sith Lord used it first.

Star Wars is a multimedia franchise that started in 1977 by creator George Lucas. After the release of Star Wars: Episode IV- A New Hope (originally just titled Star Wars), the franchise quickly exploded, spawning multiple sequels, prequels, TV shows, video games, comics, and much more. After Disney acquired the rights to the franchise, they quickly expanded the universe on Disney+, starting with The Mandalorian.

How ‘Embeddings’ Encode What Words Mean — Sort Of

September 18, 2024

Kristina Armitage/ Quanta Magazine    

Introduction

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but how many numbers is a word worth? The question may sound silly, but it happens to be the foundation that underlies large language models, or LLMs — and through them, many modern applications of artificial intelligence.

Every LLM has its own answer. In Meta’s open-source Llama 3 model, each word contains 4,096 numbers; for GPT-3, it’s 12,288. Individually, these long numerical lists — known as embeddings — are just inscrutable chains of digits. But in concert, they encode mathematical relationships between words that can look surprisingly like meaning.

The basic idea behind word embeddings is decades old. To model language on a computer, start by taking every word in the dictionary and making a list of its essential features — how many is up to you, as long as it’s the same for every word. “You can almost think of it like a 20 Questions game,” said Ellie Pavlick , a computer scientist studying language models at Brown University and Google DeepMind. “Animal, vegetable, object — the features can be anything that people think are useful for distinguishing concepts.” Then assign a numerical value to each feature in the list. The word “dog,” for example, would score high on “furry” but low on “metallic.” The result will embed each word’s semantic associations, and its relationship to other words, into a unique string of numbers.

Researchers once specified these embeddings by hand, but now they’re generated automatically. For instance, neural networks can be trained to group words (or, technically, fragments of text called tokens) according to features that the network defines by itself. “Maybe one feature separates nouns and verbs really nicely, and another separates words that tend to occur after a period from words that don’t occur after a period,” Pavlick said.

The downside of these machine-learned embeddings is that unlike in a game of 20 Questions, many of the descriptions encoded in each list of numbers are not interpretable by humans. “It seems to be a grab bag of stuff,” Pavlick said. “The neural network can just make up features in any way that will help.”

But when a neural network is trained on a particular task called language modeling — predicting the next word in a sequence — the embeddings it learns are anything but arbitrary. Like iron filings lining up under a magnetic field, the values become set in such a way that words with similar associations have mathematically similar embeddings. For example, the embeddings for “dog” and “cat” will be more similar than those for “dog” and “chair.”

This phenomenon can make embeddings seem mysterious, even magical: a neural network somehow transmuting raw numbers into linguistic meaning, “like spinning straw into gold,” Pavlick said. Famous examples of “word arithmetic” — “king” minus “man” plus “woman” roughly equals “queen” — have only enhanced the aura around embeddings. They seem to act as a rich, flexible repository of what an LLM “knows.”

But this supposed knowledge isn’t anything like what we’d find in a dictionary. Instead, it’s more like a map. If you imagine every embedding as a set of coordinates on a high-dimensional map shared by other embeddings, you’ll see certain patterns pop up. Certain words will cluster together, like suburbs hugging a big city. And again, “dog” and “cat” will have more similar coordinates than “dog” and “chair.”

But unlike points on a map, these coordinates only refer to each other — not to any underlying territory, the way latitude and longitude numbers indicate specific spots on Earth. Instead, the embeddings for “dog” or “cat” are more like coordinates in interstellar space: meaningless, except for how close they happen to be to other known points.

So why are the embeddings for “dog” and “cat” so similar? It’s because they take advantage of something that linguists have known for decades: Words used in similar contexts tend to have similar meanings. In the sequence “I hired a pet sitter to feed my ____,” the next word might be “dog” or “cat,” but it’s probably not “chair.” You don’t need a dictionary to determine this, just statistics.

Embeddings — contextual coordinates, based on those statistics — are how an LLM can find a good starting point for making its next-word predictions, without having to encode meaning.

Certain words in certain contexts fit together better than others, sometimes so precisely that literally no other words will do. (Imagine finishing the sentence “The current president of France is named ____.”) According to many linguists, a big part of why humans can finely discern this sense of fitting is because we don’t just relate words to each other — we actually know what they refer to, like territory on a map. Language models can’t, because embeddings don’t work that way.

Still, as a proxy for semantic meaning, embeddings have proved surprisingly effective. It’s one reason why large language models have rapidly risen to the forefront of AI. When these mathematical objects fit together in a way that coincides with our expectations, it feels like intelligence; when they don’t, we call it a “hallucination.” To the LLM, though, there’s no difference. They’re just lists of numbers, lost in space.

What does 'woke' mean in politics? How the term is used now is far from its original meaning

The word "woke" is tossed around a lot in political and social debates all around the country. It's ramping up as Election Day draws near.

The term carries different meanings and strong emotional connections for people, and it has changed over the years. So what is the history and the meaning of the word "woke"? And why you can expect to see it become a frequently used term in the presidential election in November?

What is the definition and history of 'woke'?

The term "woke" used to have a different meaning. It was first used by Pan-African activist Marcus Garvey as early as 1923 . "Woke" was meant to acknowledge the struggles of African Americans and a word of empowerment for some Black people.

When the Black Lives Matter movement began after the police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014, "woke" expanded outside of Black communities into the larger public lexicon and became co-opted or appropriated for various political agendas , the definition of the word has evolved and come to mean different things to different people.

What do conservatives mean when they say 'woke'?

The term woke has been used by conservative figures as pejorative term to describe the following social justice initiatives:

• LGBTQ rights: A movement advocating for the equal treatment and elimination of discriminatory policies hurting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people, according to Britannica .
• Gender-affirming care: Access to services such as mental health, medical, surgical and nonmedical services for nonbinary and transgender people, according to the Office of Population Affairs.
• Diversity, equity and inclusion measures: A form of hiring and employee retention meant to reduce biases and improve the accessibility of jobs for disenfranchised minorities. Companies such as Harley-Davidson and Tractor Supply have faced boycotts over these measures .
• Critical race theory: A social and intellectual movement that studies the relationship between race, racism and power, as described by theorists Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic in their book, “Critical Race Theory: The Cutting Edge.”

How is the term 'woke' viewed?

A USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll from March 2023 demonstrates the varying ideas for what 'woke' means among Americans between Republicans and Democrats.

Of those surveyed , 56% percent say the term means "to be informed, educated on and aware of social injustices." That includes not only three-fourths of Democrats but also more than a third of Republicans. Overall, 39% say the word reflects what has become the GOP political definition, "to be overly politically correct and police others' words." 56% of Republicans agreed with this view.

The term will likely continue to be a point of contention heading into the November election.

'Woke culture' decried by Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs and Tesla CEO Elon Musk

For years, conservative activists, lawmakers and politicians have used the term "woke" as a slam against progressive values and liberal initiatives.

The woke Left’s agenda has no place in our schools or military. Wokeness is weakness! — Glenn Jacobs (@GlennJacobsTN) July 9, 2024

Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs has previously warned Republicans against allowing a "woke" culture to flourish. He posted on X to say the "wokeness is weakness" and it has no place in schools or military. He didn't detail what he meant.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said his estranged daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson was "killed" by the "woke mind virus" and claimed he was tricked into signing documents agreeing to  gender-affirming care procedures for her.

How to share your Wordle results without spoilers

Wordle has a built-in method of sharing your results in a spoiler-free way, so that those you sent it to don't see today's Wordle word itself, only the colours in your grid to show how well you did.

To share your Wordle results, simply complete (or lose) today's Wordle, and then wait a moment for the statistics panel to appear on your screen. Then tap the "SHARE" button.

On PC this will simply copy the text into your clipboard, so you can then paste the text anywhere you wish, whether it's a private message or a status update on social media. On iPhone or Android, when you tap the "SHARE" button you'll have the option either to copy to clipboard, or to share the results directly to another app on your phone (such as WhatsApp or Twitter).

Using the built-in sharing feature of Wordle is a much nicer way of sharing your results than potentially spoiling the answer to those who haven't yet had the chance to play today's Wordle themselves. So we highly encourage you to use it!

How to play Wordle

Wordle is wonderfully simple. The aim is to guess the correct five-letter word within six guesses. After each guess, the letters of your chosen word will highlight green if they're in the correct place, yellow if they're in the wrong place, or grey if they don't appear in the word at all.

Using these clues you can start to narrow down the correct word. Head over to the Wordle site to try it for yourself!

How did Wordle begin?

Wordle began life as a little family game created by software engineer Josh Wardle. He created the game so that he and his partner could play a fun little word game together during the pandemic, and they quickly realised that there was something quite special in this simple little guessing game. So after a bit of refinement, Wardle released it to the public on his website, Power Language .

The game was released in October 2021, and by the end of the year the game had two million daily players. It became a viral hit, thanks in large part to the ease with which players could share their results in a spoiler-free manner on Twitter and other social media sites. In January 2022, Wardle accepted an offer from the New York Times to acquire Wordle for a seven-figure sum. Well done, Mr Wardle. Well done indeed.

Are any Wordle words not allowed?

You can type in pretty much any five-letter word in the English language and Wordle will accept it as a guess. However, the answer is picked each day from a much smaller list of more common five-letter words. There are still thousands of possible answers, of course, but it means the answer will never be a word as obscure as, say, "THIOL", or "CAIRD", or "MALIC" (yes, those are all real words).

There are very occasional words which the New York Times will choose not to publish as the day's Wordle answer, perhaps for reasons relating to recent news or politics. For example, shortly after news broke that Roe v Wade might be overturned in the United States, the NYT decided to change the March 30th word from "FETUS" to "SHINE", as the feeling was that the word "fetus" was too politically charged a word in the context of recent events.

The New York Times has also been careful never to allow what they consider to be rude words as the answer to a Wordle puzzle. But of course there's nothing stopping you from using even the dirtiest of words as guesses, as long as they're accepted words in the dictionary, and as long as you realise that they'll never end up being the answer.

Is Wordle getting too easy for you?

If Wordle is starting to get too easy, there are a few ways you can make the game more challenging for yourself. The first choice is to turn on Hard Mode. You can do this on the Wordle site by clicking the cog icon in the top-right of the screen. Hard Mode means that any highlighted letters must be used in all future guesses. This stops you from using the common tactic of choosing two words like "OUNCE" and "PAINS" to test all five vowels early on.

You can take it up another notch by playing by what we call "Ultra-Hard" rules. This means that every guess you enter must potentially be the answer. If you were just playing on Hard Mode, and you typed "MOIST", and the "O" appeared yellow, then nothing would stop you from making "POLAR" as your next word, even though it couldn't possibly be the answer because you already know the "O" is in the wrong place. If you play by "Ultra-Hard" rules, that's not allowed. You must adhere to every clue, and make sure every single word you enter is potentially the answer.

If after all that Wordle is still too easy for you, then you could always try one of the many other Wordle-inspired games online that have cropped up over the past year. One of our favourites is Worldle , in which you must guess a country of the world based on its shape. There's also Waffle , which is about swapping letters in a completed grid to complete all the words; Moviedle , which shows you an entire movie in a tiny space of time and challenges you to guess the movie within six guesses; and Quordle , which tasks you with solving four Wordles at once with the same guesses.

If you need some help with future Wordles, be sure to check out our list of the best Wordle starting words for the greatest chance of success. You can also check out our archive of past Wordle answers to see which words have been chosen previously.
