How to Make a “Good” Presentation “Great”

• Guy Kawasaki

Remember: Less is more.

A strong presentation is so much more than information pasted onto a series of slides with fancy backgrounds. Whether you’re pitching an idea, reporting market research, or sharing something else, a great presentation can give you a competitive advantage, and be a powerful tool when aiming to persuade, educate, or inspire others. Here are some unique elements that make a presentation stand out.

• Fonts: Sans Serif fonts such as Helvetica or Arial are preferred for their clean lines, which make them easy to digest at various sizes and distances. Limit the number of font styles to two: one for headings and another for body text, to avoid visual confusion or distractions.
• Colors: Colors can evoke emotions and highlight critical points, but their overuse can lead to a cluttered and confusing presentation. A limited palette of two to three main colors, complemented by a simple background, can help you draw attention to key elements without overwhelming the audience.
• Pictures: Pictures can communicate complex ideas quickly and memorably but choosing the right images is key. Images or pictures should be big (perhaps 20-25% of the page), bold, and have a clear purpose that complements the slide’s text.
• Layout: Don’t overcrowd your slides with too much information. When in doubt, adhere to the principle of simplicity, and aim for a clean and uncluttered layout with plenty of white space around text and images. Think phrases and bullets, not sentences.

As an intern or early career professional, chances are that you’ll be tasked with making or giving a presentation in the near future. Whether you’re pitching an idea, reporting market research, or sharing something else, a great presentation can give you a competitive advantage, and be a powerful tool when aiming to persuade, educate, or inspire others.

When you use 'Presented' on your resume, you're communicating that you have the ability to effectively convey information, a skill highly valued in many professional settings. However, while 'Presented' is a useful term, it may not always be the most impactful word to use on your resume. The term is quite common and may not fully capture the depth and breadth of your experience. Using synonyms for 'Presented' can help to diversify your language, making your resume more engaging and compelling. Different words can also help to more accurately describe the context and significance of your presentation skills, thereby enhancing the overall impression of your resume.

How Presented Is Commonly Misused

"presented at various conferences".

This statement is too vague and does not provide any specific information about the conferences or the content of the presentations. It is better to provide details about the conferences, such as the names, dates, and locations, as well as the specific topics or themes of the presentations.

"Presented to clients"

While it indicates some level of communication with clients, it lacks impact and does not highlight the purpose or outcomes of the presentations. Instead, it is better to mention the specific objectives or goals of the presentations, such as "Presented new product features to clients, resulting in a 30% increase in sales."

"Presented information to team members"

This statement is too generic and does not provide any specific details about the information presented or the impact it had on the team. It is better to mention the specific type of information presented, such as "Presented quarterly sales data to team members, leading to improved decision-making and a 15% increase in revenue."

When to Replace Presented with Another Synonym

Presenting information.

Instead of using "Presented," job seekers can use synonyms like "Delivered," "Conveyed," or "Communicated" to highlight their ability to effectively share information with others. These alternatives demonstrate their skills in presenting ideas, data, or reports in a clear and engaging manner, showcasing their communication and persuasion abilities.

Introducing new concepts

When job seekers want to emphasize their role in introducing new ideas, strategies, or initiatives, they can replace "Presented" with synonyms such as "Proposed," "Introduced," or "Suggested." These terms showcase their creativity, innovation, and ability to bring fresh perspectives to the table, making them stand out as proactive and forward-thinking candidates.

Sharing findings or research

Instead of using "Presented," job seekers can opt for synonyms like "Shared," "Disclosed," or "Reported" when describing their experience in presenting research findings, survey results, or analytical data. These alternatives highlight their ability to effectively communicate complex information, showcase their attention to detail, and demonstrate their expertise in data analysis and interpretation.

What is Eid al-Fitr? 6 questions about the holiday and how Muslims celebrate it, answered

By Ken Chitwood

Updated on: April 9, 2024 / 8:03 AM EDT / The Conversation

Ken Chitwood  is a senior research fellow, Muslim Philanthropy Initiative at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis and journalist-fellow at the Dornsife Center for Religion and Civic Culture at the  University of Southern California Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences .

Eid al-Fitr, one of Islam's principal festivals, will be celebrated April 9, 2024, according to the Fiqh Council of North America . At the middle of June, Muslims will celebrate Eid al-Adha. Ken Chitwood, a scholar of global Islam, explains the two Islamic festivals.

1. What is Eid?

Eid literally means a "festival" or "feast" in Arabic. There are two major eids in the Islamic calendar per year – Eid al-Fitr earlier in the year and Eid al-Adha later.

Eid al-Fitr is a three-day-long festival and is known as the "Lesser" or "Smaller Eid" when compared to Eid al-Adha, which is four days long and is known as the "Greater Eid."

2. Why is Eid celebrated twice a year?

The two Eids recognize, celebrate and recall two distinct events that are significant to the story of Islam.

Eid al-Fitr means "the feast of breaking the fast." The fast, in this instance, is Ramadan , which recalls the revealing of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad and requires Muslims to fast from sunrise to sundown for a month.

3. How do Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr?

Eid al-Fitr features two to three days of celebrations that include special morning prayers. People greet each other with "Eid Mubarak," meaning "Blessed Eid" and with formal embraces. Sweet dishes are prepared at home and gifts are given to children and to those in need. In addition, Muslims are encouraged to forgive and seek forgiveness. Practices vary from country to country.

In many countries with large Muslim populations, Eid al-Fitr is a national holiday. Schools, offices and businesses are closed so family, friends and neighbors can enjoy the celebrations together. In the U.S. and the U.K., Muslims may request to have the day off from school or work to travel or celebrate with family and friends.

In countries like Egypt and Pakistan, Muslims decorate their homes with lanterns, twinkling lights or flowers. Special food is prepared and friends and family are invited over to celebrate.

In places like Jordan, with its Muslim majority population, the days before Eid al-Fitr can see a rush at local malls and special "Ramadan markets" as people prepare to exchange gifts on Eid al-Fitr.

In Turkey and in places that were once part of the Ottoman-Turkish empire such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Azerbaijan and the Caucasus, it is also known as the, "Lesser Bayram" or "festival" in Turkish.

4. How do Muslims celebrate Eid al-Adha?

The other festival, Eid al-Adha, is the "feast of the sacrifice." It comes at the end of the Hajj , an annual pilgrimage by millions of Muslims to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia that is obligatory once in a lifetime, but only for those with means.

Eid al-Adha recalls the story of how God commanded Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismail as a test of faith. The story, as narrated in the Quran, describes Satan's attempt to tempt Ibrahim so he would disobey God's command. Ibrahim, however, remains unmoved and informs Ismail, who is willing to be sacrificed.

But, just as Ibrahim attempts to kill his son, God intervenes and a ram is sacrificed in place of Ismail. During Eid al-Adha, Muslims slaughter an animal to remember Ibrahim's sacrifice and remind themselves of the need to submit to the will of God.

5. When are they celebrated?

Eid al-Fitr is celebrated on the first day of the 10th month in the Islamic calendar.

Eid al-Adha is celebrated on the 10th day of the final month in the Islamic calendar.

The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, and dates are calculated based on lunar phases. Since the Islamic calendar year is shorter than the solar Gregorian calendar year by 10 to 12 days, the dates for Ramadan and Eid on the Gregorian calendar can vary year by year.

6. What is the spiritual meaning of Eid al-Fitr?

Eid al-Fitr, as it follows the fasting of Ramadan, is also seen as a spiritual celebration of Allah's provision of strength and endurance.

Amid the reflection and rejoicing, Eid al-Fitr is a time for charity, known as Zakat al-Fitr. Eid is meant to be a time of joy and blessing for the entire Muslim community and a time for distributing one's wealth.

Charity to the poor is a highly emphasized value in Islam. The Quran says ,

"Believe in Allah and his messenger, and give charity out of the (substance) that Allah has made you heirs of. For those of you who believe and give charity – for them is a great reward."

U.S. family finally reunited after escaping Sudan's yearlong civil war

Apple believes that AI is the future

• Apple wanted all eyes to be on the Vision Pro when it launched.
• There's a lot more excitement about its plans with AI instead.
• A report about AI chips coming to next-gen Macs helped boost Apple's stock by $112 billion.

Two months ago, Tim Cook was busy marking Apple's bold new vision of the future with the launch of expensive nerd goggles. He might want to reconsider where the company's real future lies.

Last week, investors signaled their belief that there is a more important needle-mover in the Cupertino giant's future than the $3,500 Vision Pro headset it launched in February; Apple's stock by $112 billion after news of an AI overhaul to Macs, of all things.

A report on Thursday from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said Apple is working on revamping its entire Mac lineup with a series of new M4 processors that aim to put AI at their center.

The positive response to the news shows two key things for Apple.

First, expectations are sky-high for its AI strategy.

Though Apple has remained mostly silent on its plans for the tech industry's most-discussed technology over the past year, the market expects Apple's AI efforts to help bring new life to product categories that have felt increasingly staid in recent years.

Related stories

Macs, which suffered a 27% sales drop in the last fiscal year, could entice a new generation of buyers if they come fitted with chips that power generative AI features.

The same goes for iPhones — Apple's biggest revenue driver — at a time when their sales are showing signs of weakness. A report from the International Data Corporation published Monday showed iPhone sales dropped almost 10% in the first quarter of the year.

During that period, Apple particularly struggled with selling iPhones in China, its most important international market, as competitors like Huawei enticed consumers to rival offerings like the Mate 60 Pro. AI could give the phones the refresh needed to make them more appealing again.

Second, the future of the Vision Pro remains highly uncertain.

Mixed-reality technologies like virtual and augmented reality remain niche areas, which are proving tough to attract a mass consumer market to. Some early adopters have already returned their headsets . Apple, meanwhile, has already started offering discounts, per reports .

Also, as my colleague Peter Kafka noted this month , the Vision Pro lacks "killer apps" that can make its "spatial computing" concept feel like more than just a neat trick with a limited number of use cases.

Will that change any time soon? It's possible. With Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference set for June, a slate of announcements linked to the Vision Pro could make it much more useful.

Just don't expect the Vision Pro to steal the show in the same way a big AI reveal would.

Scottie Scheffler wins 2024 Masters for his second green jacket

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Scottie Scheffler has been stating his claim as the No. 1 player in the world for three years. Sunday, Scheffler declared himself the dominant force of his era.

Scheffler, 27, won the Masters by four strokes over a star-studded leaderboard for his second green jacket in three years. He becomes the fourth-youngest golfer to win the Masters twice, following Jack Nicklaus, Seve Ballesteros and Tiger Woods. He joins Nicklaus and Woods as the only three players with two Players Championship wins and two green jackets.

For some time on a picture-perfect Sunday afternoon at Augusta National, it appeared an all-time race for the Masters championship was coming into form. The four men playing in the last two groups — Scheffler, Collin Morikawa, Max Homa and Ludvig Åberg — were all tied at 6-under at one point on the front nine.

But then Scheffler, who shot a final-round 68, put his foot down, and everyone else got out of the way.

As he stood in the fairway on the ninth hole, Scheffler unfurled a shot so good it’ll have a chance to become part of Masters lore — hitting it just high of the flag stick from 89 yards away and watching it spin back to six inches. A foot away from the hole, it looked like it was rolling in for eagle, patrons leaping out of their chairs in anticipation. He “settled” for birdie and took the lead at 8-under.

Scheffler then birdied the par-4 10th, a hole he had double-bogeyed on Saturday, to get to a two-stroke lead over Homa and Åberg.

Morikawa, playing with Scheffler, was the first to drop from contention. He doubled-bogey the 9th hole, parred the 10th and then put his second shot in the water on No. 11, venting his frustration as he watched the Masters slip from his grasp with a second double bogey.

Åberg was next, also finding the water on Augusta National’s treacherous 11th hole and scoring a double bogey to drop four shots behind Scheffler.

Last was Homa, still within reach of Scheffler until his tee shot on the par-3 12th flew the green, took a nasty bounce into the greenery on the hill behind it, and forced Homa to take an unplayable lie penalty. He had a double bogey after a poor chip, and was three shots behind even after Scheffler’s bogey on No. 11, his second of the day.

From there it became clear there could only be one, Scheffler adding birdies on holes Nos. 13, 14 and 16 to keep the rest of the field hopelessly chasing. Åberg finished second (7-under) in his first Masters appearance, followed by Morikawa, Homa and Tommy Fleetwood (tied at 4-under).

Two years ago, Scottie Scheffler held a three-stroke lead the morning of the Masters and broke down in his wife Meredith’s arms, confiding in her that he did not feel ready for what was about to come. He was. He is, even though he did not have Meredith with him this week , as she stayed behind at their home in Dallas to await the birth of their first child. Scheffler had promised to withdraw from the tournament should she go into labor (she’s due later this month). It wasn’t necessary. Nothing was stopping him from this Masters win.

How the ‘Scottie Shuffle’ is Scheffler’s unique weapon as he seeks a second Masters

He now has nine PGA Tour wins with two majors, compiling a resume of excellence unmatched this decade. Those nine wins include two Masters, two Players Championships, two Arnold Palmers Invitationals, two Phoenix Opens and a WGC match play win. But maybe more telling has been Scheffler’s unprecedented consistency. He’s played 15 majors as a tour player, and he’s been top 25 in all but one. He’s been top 10 in 10 of them. The last time he finished a professional tournament outside the top 31 was in October 2022.

Scheffler’s been world No. 1 for 83 of the last 107 weeks, and his win Sunday further solidifies the belief that nobody is reaching him any time soon. The only question left for Scheffler was if he could stabilize his putting to ensure he added more majors and had a trophy room to match his special level. Now, he’s on a four-event run of winning the Players, the Arnold Palmer and the Masters as a 4-to-1 favorite.

Suddenly, the question is not whether Scheffler can truly operate like golf’s biggest star. It’s if anyone can stop him.
