Few kinds of communication can have the effect of a powerful presentation. Even a short speech can motivate people to change long-held beliefs or to take action, and a wonderfully delivered speech can transform a normal person into a leader. In this course, Prof. William Kuskin provides a series of pragmatic videos and exercises for successful public speaking and presentations. The course develops through four themes—mastering fear, developing a creative formula, using verbal and body language, and anticipating the room—so that you can discover your personal power as a speaker and give excellent presentations. Successful presentations do not rely on perfect teeth, a deep voice, or an army of scriptwriters. They depend largely on the same skills as successful Business Writing and Graphic Design: clarity, structure, and revision. The goal of the course, therefore, is to enable you to discover your own internal power as a speaker and express it to the world. After this course, with some practice, you will be able to go into any situation and command the room for as long as you like. This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder's Master of Science in Data Science (MS-DS) degree offered on the Coursera platform. The MS-DS is an interdisciplinary degree that brings together faculty from CU Boulder's departments of Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Information Science, and others. With performance-based admissions and no application process, the MS-DS is ideal for individuals with a broad range of undergraduate education and/or professional experience in computer science, information science, mathematics, and statistics.

A Formula For Successful Presentation
Like the Second Module of Business Writing, this module zeroes in on a practical formula for successful presentations. William establishes this structure, and then breaks down it down into modular elements, so the most complex presentations can be created easily, revised effectively, and delivered confidently. Still, no one-size-fits-all outline, no rigid set of rules, is capable of expressing your own personality and unlocking your own brilliance, and so William goes beyond the basic formula to teach you the secret ingredient to public speaking: creativity.

Welcome to MODULE 2, of successful presentation. This module is about, THE FORMULA. I've been promising the formula throughout the full first module and now you're going to learn it. So in module one, we talked about three main things, we talked about how fear is very natural and very human, but confuses the issues and causes chaos. So I introduced the Keith Code Rule, which is fear inhibits execution. By controlling our fear, we can begin to execute on multiple levels. I then moved to a sense of public speaking, as storytelling. And that was important, because it suggests that we're going to craft our public speech in terms of a beginning, a middle and an end. And we're going to weave through that, a main point that rides along the whole time. Then finally, I insisted that the storyteller was part of the story, and I think that's important, because it means we have to own our work. We can't let the PowerPoint behind us own the work. We can't let the hand out in front of us, own the work and we certainly can't try, and let someone else's words own our work. So, those three points were in a sense the direction of the whole first module. In the second module, I want to take you through the formula. I'm going to breakdown every element of the formula into different lessons. The formula is very simple, but it's not easy. This strikes needs a really important point. The formula is simple, because it's a very basic structure. It's built on threes, Beginning, Middle and End. Three subpoints under each of those, and maybe three subpoints under each of those. And I think in threes and I built this formula out of threes, because I can only remember three things at a time. I get worried if there are four, or if sometimes there's four, and sometimes there's six. I get lost in my own mind. So the formula keeps things simple, but it's not easy. It's just a structure for you to concentrate on, while you're delivering your speech. And that's so important, because it allows you clarity. It allows you not to be afraid, and allows you to go forward with the next point. Even if the material is complicated, you can rely on the three-fold structure to get you through. So, the structure works in terms of a three by three grid. And in the structure, the Beginning is the Introduction. The Middle is the Content, and the Ending is the Conclusion, and each part of those three pieces has three pieces within it. So the introduction has the Salutation, the Review of Structure and the one compelling point. The Content which is modular, you could have more modules or fewer has a Topic, it has Data and it has Analysis. And finally, the conclusion has a summation, it has a discussion, and in the end, it has a thank you section. Each of the three by three points, you can remember in your mind like a three by three window pane or like a grid. And in that way, it connects back to Quinten's lessons about the window pane affording clarity, and to Daves' about the organization of the page. But what is so important about the formula, is that it's something that allows you to write, to memorize and to speak. It's a structure, so that the page is never blank. You can write introduction and then fill in all the elements, and then you can begin to work with those elements. You can remember, because you always have to think in threes. And finally, when you get very nervous, you can concentrate on it. And you can say, where am I in the structure? I'm not at the conclusion. I can make my way through. Three by three is simple, but not easy. So I promise you this, the formula works. When that governor's aide came up to me in Beijing and said, you have two days to write a presentation. Go ahead. First, I was very nervous. I didn't know what I was going to do, but then I said, relax. I took out my little notebook here. Actually, it's this very notebook. Took out this little notebook, I wrote down the formula. Introduction, Content, Conclusion, and then I wrote Salutation and I began. I drafted it and it worked like magic.
