How to Convey EHDI Data to High-Stakes Audiences

A group of potential supporters or policymakers has agreed to meet with you. Putting numbers on a screen is easy. However, engaging and holding the group’s attention during precious contact time is hard, especially if you want to use EHDI data to get a concrete response from your presentation. This session will present specific tips and tools that support your final call to action. You will learn to: (1) Shape content using three fundamental questions: Know your audience, the action you desire and the setting in which you’ll be working, (2) Choose the most cogent facts based on audience preferences: Respecting what is important to them and helping them achieve their aims, (3) Increase impact of data by building on the “4-Ps”: Principle, Particulars, Pathos and Prophecy, (4) Create a full picture using both tables and charts: Each has its special strength, (5) Pick the right chart for your purpose: Different chart types are best for different findings: snapshots, trends and correlations, (6) Choose design elements that contribute to maximum impact --and avoid formats that distract from or even distort your information, (7) Avoid common PowerPoint pitfalls to improve audience involvement, and (8) Focus on next steps, improving chances for a measurable response after the presentation.
