How to present survey results in PowerPoint or Google Slides

A survey is a technique that is applied by conducting a questionnaire to a significant sample of a group of people. When we carry out the survey, we start from a hypothesis and it is this survey activity that will allow us to confirm the hypothesis or to see where the problem and solution of what we are investigating lies.

We know: fieldwork is hard work. Many hours collecting data, analyzing and organizing it until we have our survey results.

Well, we don't want to discourage you (at Slidesgo we stand for positivism) but this is only 50% of the survey work. After having organized the results, it's time to share and present them! Such good work can't be hidden and, besides, sharing is living, and can determine the next step of your research or your following survey.

Close your eyes for a moment. Imagine now that you are listening to a large number of figures, percentages, and other quantitative expressions typical of a survey. Would the result of that survey be clear to you? Probably not. A picture is worth a thousand words (one of our catchphrases, yes). Now, imagine (or continue reading this post, because you will find images) that all these data are represented in graphs or infographics, with colors, eye-catching fonts... The feeling is very different! The human brain interprets an image 60,000 times faster than a text!

So, in this post, we are going to show you some ways to present survey results in Google Slides and PowerPoint , so that your surveys can be understood in a very clear and concise way. Here we go!

Graphs and charts

Infographics.

When it comes to providing an audience with numerical data, one of the best ways is with a graph. A good graph conveys the most relevant features of your survey and also allows you to compare, highlight a trend or show other related elements.

If you are afraid of working with charts, don't worry! To solve those doubts and concerns you may have before using a chart, we have several very interesting posts at Slidesgo School : whether you want to learn how to modify a graph in our templates or if you want to make and insert a chart in PowerPoint or Google Slides previously created by you.

EXTRA TIP! Use different colors in your graphs, one for each value or result of the survey, it will provide a lot of clarity on the subject.

Below, we are going to show you different types of graphs and charts with which you can represent your survey data. Just select the types that you think are ideal for the characteristics of your survey.

They are a safe choice, as they are very easy to create and interpret. All values can be compared very easily!

Line charts

These types of charts are very well suited to illustrate how different elements vary over time or a given distance. In the example, you can see the evolution of two elements over time. Where is your research going? This type of graph will answer this question.

Venn diagram

Venn diagrams (named after its creator, John Venn) are infographics that show the grouping of one or several elements delimited by closed lines so that the elements of each group remain inside.

In the image, you can see a Venn diagram in an abstract style, without following very fixed lines, in case you would like to give a more casual touch to your results!

However, understanding and knowing how to generate Venn diagrams can be difficult, that's why, on our blog, we have two posts dedicated to how to create a Venn diagram , both in Google Slides and PowerPoint . Grab paper and a pencil, there is some very interesting information!

Mmmm, it smells like cake! We're sorry to tell you this, but this is not a pie, but a pie chart, perfect for your survey results! This type of graph is very popular and is used to compare different parts that together make a whole, a total. Going back to our tip of using colors... Notice how clear it is to use a different color for each element! 

Infographics are perfect for talking about surveys. They are eye-catching, they organize the information in a very appropriate order, they make the data look more pleasant and impactful and they are the ideal complement for your presentations. At Slidesgo , we have a very complete section of infographics for all types of presentations. Which one fits best with your content? 

We are going to show you a series of examples of infographics so that you can see how clear everything is with the use of infographic resources. Maybe even a set of infographics will come in handy for your survey results!

This post is coming to an end... Hopefully, you have learned a lot about how to present your survey results! To conclude, we want to give you a few last tips, because we want your presentation to turn out great: 

• In addition to numerical data, present the objectives and conclusions of your survey . The audience will appreciate it if you make them part of the survey interpretation process.
• Explain how you collected the information . Detail the process of conducting the survey, so that the audience can see the hard work behind it.
• Talk about the different variables in your survey . Age, locations where the survey took place, and other variables that are part of your different surveys.
• Use a moderate number of graphs or infographics . Balance is the key, so include only those data that are relevant to the development of the survey and eliminate those variables or parts that are not influential.

And that's all! If you apply all these recommendations, everyone will internalize the results of your surveys and will want to know about future projects.

The Complete Guide to Using and Facilitating Live Polls

Looking to make your meeting, event, or training more interactive? Then live polls are one of the interactive tools that you can’t miss out on in your presentation.

Polls allow you to interact with your audience in real-time , which makes your presentation more inclusive and engaging .

You simply ask your audience a poll question and they’ll vote, or submit, their insights using their smartphones.

Of course, it’s fair to say that polls alone won’t save an unprepared speech. For instance, we cannot blame PowerPoint for a poor presentation.

It’s all about facilitation .

In this article, we will take you through tips on how to integrate live polls into your presentation and how to facilitate them successfully. Let’s get started!

BEFORE YOUR PRESENTATION

During your presentation, 1. create interaction points.

Interaction points are spots on the agenda where you purposefully insert live polls to stimulate engagement.

Go through the flow of your talk and think about where you could insert some interaction. Tuck in a poll where you think it would make the most sense. For example:

Before revealing research findings or business results, you could ask a poll question such as:

• What was the main challenge the respondents indicated as…?
• How many people found it difficult to..?

Before presenting an argument or a topic, ask your audience what they think about the topic first. For example:

• What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear ‘virtual events’?
• What are the main challenges that event organizers face today?
• Who is responsible for Learning and Development? Individuals or companies?

After you present an interesting number or argument and ask your audience what they think about it. For instance:

• Does this argument resonate with you? Yes/No
• How well do you understand this concept?

This strategy will allow you to (1) break the long content deliveries into more digestible chunks, (2) regain your audience’s attention, (3) ignite conversations based on the results.

Polls can strengthen your point or, on the contrary, provide a different perspective and serve as data points to the discussion.

As for frequency, I typically recommend using a poll every 7-10 minutes to rekindle your audience’s attention.

2. Select the right poll type

There are different types of live polls that you can use in your presentation – each fit for a slightly different use case, with a slightly different objective. Let’s break it down.

Word cloud poll

Word clouds are basically word collages; your audience submits one-two word answers, and they will create a cool-looking cloud of words. The more times a word is submitted, the larger it appears on the screen.

As I already hinted at, they work well for questions that can be answered with one or two-word answers. This is great if you want to crowdsource ideas, thoughts, or feelings from your audience. For example:

• Using one-two words, describe what ‘diversity and inclusion’ means to you.
• Which one word best describes your state of mind right now?

To optimize their use, start your questions with, “In one word, what do you…?”

Multiple choice poll

Polls with multiple options allow your audience to choose one or multiple options. You can use them in different ways. For example, if you want your audience to vote for their preferred option:

• Which of these trends do you think will dominate the market in 2021?

Or, you can use multiple choice polls as quiz questions – with one correct answer – to test your audience’s knowledge. Or just for fun.

• What was the number one cybersecurity threat in 2020? A: Cloud Jacking B: Ransomware attacks C: Mobile malware

Tip With multiple choice polls , where you expect people to select a correct answer, it’s important to set the right difficulty level. You don’t want the question to be too easy, but not too difficult either.

Rating poll

As the name suggests, these polls let your audience rate things. You can assign a different star-rating scale to your poll, with up to 10 stars.

A typical use case of a rating poll is feedback. You can run a rating poll after you’ve presented something to your audience, and ask them how well they understand or like it. For example:

• From 1-10, how much do you identify with our new company mission statement?

Or, you can add a rating poll to the end of your presentation and ask your audience to give their feedback.

Ranking poll

With this type of poll, you can let your participants rank multiple options based on their preference, liking, or any other order. Simply add the choices for your audience to rank and ask them to order them accordingly.

Ranking polls are great for decision-making or prioritizing. For example:

• Which of these topics would you like to learn the most about? Please rank.
• Which of these four campaign proposals do you prefer? Rank these according to your level of excitement.

Open text poll

With this poll type, you give your audience the freedom to formulate their own answers and ideas. When using this poll, make sure to give people more time as they need to type in their answers.

Open text polls are more suitable for smaller crowds, as going through many submissions could take a lot of time. They are effective for crowdsourcing ideas, suggestions, challenges, or areas for improvement. For example:

• How can we increase our brand recognition?
• What marketing channels should we experiment with?

3. Insert live polls into your presentation

Once you have thought out your flow, it’s time to align the polls with your slide deck.

If you’re using Google Slides or PowerPoint, you can insert polls directly into your presentation using Slido’s integrations with Google Slides , Microsoft Teams, and PowerPoint .

The polls will then be added to your slide deck as separate slides and you can present and engage your audience seamlessly without having to switch apps or screens.

If you’re using other platforms such as Keynote or Prezi, you can create polls on Slido and activate them remotely with your smartphone through your Slido admin using Switcher .

Once you activate a poll, it appears on top of your slide until you deactivate it and move on with your story. Learn more about how to use the Switcher here .

4. Give instructions on how to vote in polls

The moment to shine is here. Before you fire up the polls, don’t forget to give people instructions on how they can participate and vote in the polls.

The best practice is to introduce Slido at the start of your talk and let your audience know that you’ll be using polls to gain insights from them.

Then, tell your audience to:

• Go to slido.com and enter your unique event code
• Or scan the QR code.

Once they’re in, they can vote in the polls. (Or ask questions via the live Q&A feature .)

A great practice is to run a warm-up poll to get people to open the app and get familiar with it. Find some examples of warm-up poll questions here .

After you fire a poll, allow your audience a few seconds (up to 1 minute) to submit their answers. While some polls might be quick for your participants to vote in, others might require some more thinking time.

Tip To increase participation, you can follow the vote count in the top right corner to see how many people have already sent in their votes. You can encourage more people to participate by saying: “We’re on 85 – let’s try to hit at least 100.”

5. Set the poll in the context of your presentation

Live polls bring the most value when they’re well facilitated and make sense for the flow of the presentation. Don’t just use polls for the sake of interaction.

Before you’re about to run a poll, introduce it properly and explain to your audience why you’d like to know their thoughts. Set the poll in the context of your presentation or the topic that you’re discussing .

The same goes for after you reveal the results. Don’t just display the results and move on, but comment on how people voted, and where applicable, read people’s submissions and tie them to your own arguments or discussion points.

As our dear friend and seasoned moderator, Jan-Jaap In der Maur said:

“The moderators or speakers need to move beyond the mere act of voting. What’s really critical is the follow-up on the results of the vote.”

6. Use polls to drive discussions

Polls are also effective for triggering a discussion . Where possible, after you reveal the poll results, ask people what they think about them, or encourage the volunteers to share how they voted and why.

In an online environment, this can be a nice ‘excuse’ for some people to join in the discussion and speak up (as opposed to being passive otherwise).

Also, polls can guide and give structure to your discussion. Often there’s radio silence following the question: “Does anybody want to share their thoughts?” But the poll results provide you with a concrete discussion point, an anchor if you will, to hold on to and elaborate on.

Another thing to consider as far as discussions go is group discussions . Granted, it’s not the easiest thing to pull off in a remote setup, but it is possible.

You can simulate a roundtable discussion or think-pair-share format using Breakout rooms .

After you run a poll that caters to different perspectives, divide your participants into breakout rooms and ask them to elaborate on the topic and discuss why they voted the way they did.

It’s super refreshing for your participants to be able to talk to their peers and actively contribute to the discussion.

7. Highlight the main points and ask for feedback

As you’re wrapping up your presentation, it’s good practice to include a summary slide where you bring back the main points that you’ve discussed during your talk.

While you’re at it, why don’t you give your audience a voice once again and ask them about what they’re taking away from the presentation? It may or may not overlap with your wrap-up slide, and your participants’ answers can be great feedback to you and your content.

And finally, just as you rate your Uber drives or meal deliveries, don’t forget to ask your audience to rate how they liked your talk/meeting/training using a rating poll. Knowing how your audience enjoyed your session is always better than not knowing! Good luck.

Live polls are great for making your presentation more conversational and engaging. But the technology is not enough.

In order to leverage the full potential of live polls in a presentation, they need to be properly facilitated and moderated . Learning to facilitate the conversations that arise from the dynamic content that polls enable is essential for becoming better (online) presenters and speakers.

We hope that the techniques described above will help you turn your next presentation into a stimulating conversation.

The 6 Best Live Polling Tools to Engage your Audience

The best way to engage your group in a live meeting or event (while not wasting valuable time) is to make it interactive — let your people participate. Live polling is one way to do this, and is proven to increase audience engagement. Here are the 6 best tools online to ask poll questions / run interactive polls, whether you're on a video call, in person in a meeting, or in front of an audience in a conference room.

See our video with reviews and screengrabs of each tool, or get to the written list below.

1. Slides with Friends

Slides With Friends is a great all-around interactive presentation solution, and is one of the frontrunners in our list of audience polling tools. It comes with pretty much everything you'd need to create and run live polls, then collect instant feedback. Players join on their mobile device with a QR code scan or custom URL (so, no downloads needed), and easily send in answers, emoji, sounds, and more, during your event or meetings real time.

Biggest Slides With Friends advantages: Accessibility, Thoughtful pre-made templates, Good design, Robust free account

This tool works wherever you can share your screen, so you can use it on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, or in a conference room.

It also comes with tons of free and ready-to-use game templates: think of them like Kahoot decks or Jackbox games that you can edit any way you like, and then play with your group. This takes away a lot of the work you’d have to do to create your own content from scratch. Just pick a template that meets your needs and play during your online meetings!

For instance, here's a "Poll the Audience" Template you can use (it's free with up to 10 players). You can edit the questions on each slide to ask your group exactly what you want.

Biggest Disadvantage: Downloadable CSV for event results only available on upgraded accounts

The ability to analyze complex data in relation to the polls taken during repeated training sessions or seminars can be enlightening and help you improve your presentation for future events.

Sli.do is one of the more basic slideshow presentation platforms with polling for your audience. It allows for brainstorming with a word cloud or Q&A as well, but little else. This platform offers a very basic free option, as well as three other annually billed subscription levels to meet the needs of small to medium-large companies or non-profits. The Enterprise package is particularly impressive (but comes with a hefty price tag).

Biggest advantage: Comprehensive analytics tools

Sli.do is particularly helpful for larger organizations with frequent training and team building due to unparalleled comprehensive analytics tools. You can review Q&As, which participants led the group in responding, see all of your polls at a glance, and easily create infographics from multiple choice questions.

‍ Biggest disadvantage: Limited interesting or connective uses

Sli.do can be a dry and survey-only forward tool. If you want to wow your audience, or seem like you put a ton of work (when you really didn’t) into an interactive presentation, this tool is a little lacking.

3. Poll Everywhere

Poll Everywhere is an interactive application that can be implemented almost anywhere, anytime. For instance this is the only platform here that integrates with Slack on this list.

This service is designed to scale up as you grow your audience. It offers the most subscription options starting at low fees for small meetings and reaching up to a $12,000 per year Enterprise plan. The Teams and Enterprise options are on the expensive side, although they are feature rich.

The biggest advantage: Best free and start-up packages for live polls

The free version gives you more features than others listed, starting with a 25-attendee roster (compared to 7 to 10 participants with other apps). It also lets you add polls and unlimited real time questions.

If you have a single meeting or seminar, a cheaper one-time live polling and presentation plan rich with more poll features is available.

The biggest disadvantage: Free and “Present” live polling options very limited in features

None of the free live polling tools include analytics or moderation capabilities, but Poll Everywhere's lower-level paid version doesn't offer them either. You must pay for the more expensive “Engage” option for these features, regardless of the size of your business and the frequency of your events.

4. Aha Slides

Aha Slides is one of the most affordable live polling services, and they offer a lot of perks that aren’t available with more expensive options.

The free version is the most limiting of the services listed here, but the features of the Essential and Plus plans are affordable options for freelancers and solo entrepreneurs running a small meeting. You can pay one-time, or you can subscribe for holding regular online or in-person events.

Even large companies can take advantage of this affordability when detailed analytics and sharing is not necessary, with the upper level service accepting up to 10,000 attendees.

The biggest advantage: Idea sharing and other interactive features

In addition to live polls and brainstorming word clouds, Aha also offers sliding scales, idea sharing, multiple choice, and even a spinner wheel for a variety of attendee participation that encompasses all types of learners.

The biggest disadvantage: Only basic analytics and presentation options

Aha Slides is one of the easier live polling platform to learn and use to create, but that simplicity means that you don’t have a lot of the same advanced features offered by other polling tools listed here.

5. Mentimeter

Mentimeter issuper-featured and filled with lots of options. This makes it powerful, but also kind of tough to figure out / get an immediate understanding of. It's also a bit pricier than others given all of its integrations and features.

The biggest advantage: Language accessibility for a global workplace

Mentimeter has a tool that allows for multiple translations within the same live presentation. This means that you can reach anyone in the world and still get the same audience participation that you receive in your hometown.

The biggest disadvantage: No automatically generated reports

While you can export data from your surveys, Q&As, and live polls, Mentimeter differs from other services in that you can export raw info, but the platform doesn’t generate reports for you. This makes the analytics information less helpful.

Vevox is one of the more expensive tools that includes live polling and other interactive features to keep your participants engaged. Unlike the other tools here, you can gather all types of anonymous feedback and surveys to help you improve future presentations.

Vevox is unique in that it doesn’t have different service levels. Although a free option is available to get you started, the paid version is the same for everyone. An individual plan is $50 per month, with the Enterprise plan giving you a $5 discount per user.

The biggest advantage: Most comprehensive free version

Vevox offers one of the best free versions, although it is only available for use with PowerPoint and Microsoft Teams. it allows an astounding 500 participants, and the only features excluded in the free subscription are analytics and reporting.

The biggest disadvantage: Works best with Microsoft products

While you can use Vevox’s polling applications in other environments, it was really designed for use with Microsoft products, including Windows, PowerPoint, and Ms Teams. Those integrations are seamless, but using the service with other platforms may be more complicated.

Real Time Polling Can Increase Audience Enjoyment

Experts agree that active participation increases the enjoyment of your audience and retention of your information.

"Incorporating the right type of online real-time polling ... has overriding benefits." Journal of Research in Innovative Teaching & Learning, "Real-time polling to help corral university-learners' wandering minds"

Regardless of what platform you choose, there is no doubt that live polling is a useful tool to keep an audience engaged. Like several of these options, your remote participants often do not need to download an app to see your screen on their phone or tablet, which makes this a very easy way to collect information.

Collecting data about particular attendees, including their responses to particular questions, is especially useful for training programs in which you need to measure performance and knowledge. At the same time, anonymous feedback is vital and not offered by all packages. Consider carefully how you will use the live poll tools to help you determine which is best for you.

The Best Choice for Live Polling

Our choice for the best live polling tool is Slides With Friends . It's got great live polling options and is easy to get started with and use, you can even use it for free with up to 10 players.

Some things you can do using SlidesWith:

• Poll your audience with different options to display rating poll results like graphs, donut charts, per-responder (run multiple polls, add images, get real time results)
• Play trivia or quiz your audience
• Create a live word cloud together (your audience sends in words and then votes to make words bigger)
• Everyone votes on responses from other audience members (like Apples to Apples or Cards Against Humanity)

How to get instant feedback from your audience.

Getting your audience engaged is the most important thing you can do when presenting. We previously published an article on Zeetings , a program that lets the audience become part of the story by using an interactive program directly from their smartphones. Here, Farshad has reviewed ten other programs that you can use to make sure your audience becomes part of the story, instead of just listening to it. 

Sometimes the biggest enemy of a presenter is doubt. One can get a bit jittery by looking at uncertain faces in the crowd. You might want to know what your audience is thinking so that you may be able to refine your presentation in case you’re going off track. One of the best ways to find out what your audience is thinking is to use polls. Conducting live polls during a presentation session can help you gather instant feedback and fine tune your presentation on the fly to ensure you can be on top of your game.

There are a number of polling apps, devices and plugins that you can use for conducting live polls during presentations. Different polling tools provide different options, including some which even enable presenters to continuously gather audience feedback and view brief statistics as they present their slides. If you want to use polls in your presentations like a  pro, then here are 10 best polling tools to gather instant audience feedback.

1)  Presentain

Presentain is a presentation web app where you can either upload and present a PDF, PPT or PPTX file or fetch a file using your Google Drive account to present your presentation right from an internet browser. Presentain provides presenters with a URL that can be shared with the audience so they can follow your slides live as you present them, using any internet connected device.

Your audience can also take part in Live polls using the same URL, allowing you to not only present your slides by broadcasting them via the internet but also to instantly gather audience feedback by offering them polls. In fact, your audience can even ask you questions using their internet connected devices.

Here is a brief introductory video which shows all the basic features of Presentain.

2)  PollEverywhere

PollEverywhere is an audience response system which enables creating polls in PowerPoint and Google Slides. The PollEverywhere add-in for PowerPoint or the Chrome extension for Google Slides can be used to create polls and gather audience feedback by allowing people to participate in polls via internet connected devices such as smartphones tablets or laptops. Furthermore, your audience can also respond to polls via Twitter.

PollEverywhere has a comprehensive set of features for conducting polls and quizzes using open ended questions, multiple choice questions, true or false quizzes, as well as clickable image and Q&A polls.

Here is a short video which explains the main features of PollEverywhere.

3)  Mentimeter

Mentimeter is an audience response system which allows presenters to create polls using multiple choice or open ended questions, polls based on a point-based system, or use dual axis or scales to gather audience feedback. Your audience will be able to cast their votes via a designated URL. This means your audience can instantly cast their votes by using their mobile phones, tablets or laptops during a Live presentation session.

Here is an introductory video which explains how Mentimeter works.

Swipe is a comprehensive presentation web app which can not only allow you to conduct polls but you can also use it as a PowerPoint alternative. You can get started with Swipe by uploading a PDF or image file, and even embed videos from YouTube and Vimeo.

With Swipe you can design your slide decks and add polls to your presentations. Like most polling systems, Swipe provides a polling URL for the audience to respond to polls.

5)  ParticiPoll

ParticiPoll is a PowerPoint add-in which can help you add polls to your PowerPoint slides. You can start using Participoll by signing-up for a free account, picking a polling URL and downloading the add-in to start adding polls to your PowerPoint slides. Your audience will be able to respond to polls using your custom polling URL.

The data gathered via Participoll is logged to your account, which means you can login anytime to your Participoll account to view audience feedback.

6) Ask The Room

If you’re looking for a free and easy way of conducting a Live poll during a presentation, you can also use Ask The Room . With Ask The Room you can instantly set up a poll by using options like ‘Yes’, ‘No’ and ‘Don’t Know’. Ask the Room requires no sign-up and you can begin your poll by going to the home page, and clicking on Start Poll. You will be provided with a custom URL to share with your audience where they can poll, and you will be able to see the result in real-time via your browser.

7) ActiVote

If you are looking for a voting system for educational purposes that comes with associated hardware clickers that your audience can use, then Activote can be a good option. ActiVote is a comprehensive polling system by which you can create polls on your computer and allow your audience to respond using ActiVote clickers.

The primary use of ActiVote is for educational purposes and it can be a good option for conducting quizzes or assessing your students using various voting based activities. ActiVote works with Windows, Mac and Linux.

OMBEA is an audience response system which can be used to insert interactive slides in PowerPoint to conduct polls during presentations. OMBEA not only works with laptops, smartphones and tablets but is also compatible with remote clickers.

You can conduct polls using open ended or multiple choice questions and enable your audience to respond using remote clickers or internet connected devices. This makes OMBEA easy to use and expands the number of devices that can be instantly turned into remote clickers.

9) iClicker

If you are looking for a clicker based polling system, which also supports clicker devices, then iClicker is an audience response system that you should look into. This clicker based polling system enables you to gather audience feedback by allowing them to poll using smartphones, tablets, or clicker remotes.

To find out all about how iClicker works, see the developer’s introductory video given below.

10) ClickAPad

ClickAPad is another comprehensive audience response system which not only provides a polling add-in for PowerPoint but also offers clicker remotes for purchase or rent. ClickAPad has a number of products that you can look into for conducting polls during your events to quickly gather audience opinion regarding a specific topic.

The tools mentioned above include both free and paid tools, with basic to advanced polling options. Whether you are a teacher, business professional, or just someone looking to conduct a survey during a live presentation, the aforementioned polling tools can help you conduct polls and fine tune your presentation in view of live audience feedback.

These are really good recommendations. I’ve also used a tool called HappyScore http://about.happyscore.io , which is a bit different.

Good stuff, Farshad. Thanks!

27th September 2017 at 3:35 pm

Let me add Meeting Pulse to the list. It works well and looks really nice. https://meet.ps

People use it for classes and lectures because the free version allows to poll up to 50 people. It’s also good for business meetings and webcasts. Features include – 15 second to set up a poll – all popular questions types – works for every device – no need to install anything – very simple

You can also run Q&A and create surveys.

Great post. I stumbled across the post while I was searching for embedded polls. To add another tool to the mix – Pubble Live Q&A: https://www.pubble.io/live-qa

Pubble’s live Q&A is deigned to be incorporated into the conference / event website. It enables the participants to ask questions and follow the thread live. It includes a presenter mode for the presenter to display selected questions on the main stage.

Moderation is supported. You can also push in questions from Twitter. Lots of other cool features, detailed on the product page above.

5th January 2018 at 11:48 am

Thanks for sharing this John. It looks like your tool would be useful for hosting live audience Q&As. Have you seen our article on this: https://www.presentation-guru.com/5-easy-to-use-solutions-to-boost-your-audience-engagement/ which gives tips on how best to incorporate Q&A sessions into your presentation?

Maybe a good idea to add NorthPolls to the list: http://www.northpolls.com . NorthPolls is extremely easy to operate by the chairman of the day on the stage via his or her own smartphone.

We’ll check it out Ronnie – thanks

Hi! Great blog! To get instant feedback from audience and customers, you can use feedback apps. Feedback apps are cost efficient and provide accurate results. Soft Intelligence Data Centre has engagement apps for organizations and businesses which help in the overall growth. You must check out them once.

19th June 2018 at 12:14 pm

We will do! Thanks for the tip.

12th July 2018 at 1:00 pm

Nice article! I just wanted to introduce you to a polling based mobile app that I developed recently, called Pollpop (pollpopapp.app.link). It’s about organizing polls and discussions within your groups or the public at large. Let me know your thoughts. Cheers!

13th July 2018 at 10:02 am

Thanks Dev – we’ll take a look.

I tried to use Presentain, and it’s essentially useless in America. It’s based in Ukraine, and their app isn’t available to the US market. It’s a paid platform, so buyer beware.

18th September 2018 at 1:06 pm

Hi Melissa,

I have previously used Presentain without any issues, however I recently tried it again after seeing your comment and it seems there might be a bug preventing users to log into the app. You can try other options in the post to gather audience feedback as an alternative.

Recently, I used Mentimeter for feedback after a presentation at my organization. I used emoticons representing satisfied and unsatisfied audience and conducted a Live poll and it worked out perfectly.

6th October 2018 at 8:42 pm

The whole idea is assinine. Real science shows once you are part of the group tour measurements are worthless. The audience knowing they are being viewed and measured will give answers they think you want instead of true opinions. Waste of time and money more harm then good as it will support your preconceived notions and give failed erroneous data.

Check out http://www.emojot.com – it is a full-fledged voice-of-audience solution (as well as a voice-of-customer and voice-of-employee solution). Its capabilities are best suited for enterprises. It has been used for TV, radio and large conferences as well as in small group meetings.

These are some great tools. I would also add to the list the Swift Polling by ExciteM ( https://swift.excitem.com ) which allows for PowerPoint integration and SMS voting. This is a life-saving solution for cases when people do not own smartphones.

19th April 2020 at 5:21 pm

I can recommend to have a look at Poll For All ( https://pollforall.com ) The poll result view in the app gets real time updates and can be used in presentations. There is a web app, which can be opened directly in a desktop browser.

21st April 2020 at 4:07 pm

I will take a look – thanks for bringing it to our attention.

20th June 2020 at 1:51 pm

Hi, farshad! These are a really awesome tool in today’s world to take instant feedback from the audience and most of them I never heard about. I will definitely go to use them and share it as much as possible because it creates a lot of disturbance during a session to ask audience review over a certain topic. Thanks a lot for sharing them!

Try Pollpop for voting and discussions within your group. It’s pretty slick. You can ask a question to your group (along with images, videos, maps, even other widgets, and options). Ask as a private or semi-private option. Your group gets a chance to vote and discuss the topic. You also get a cool analysis of the voting results, so you clearly know who stands where. You can also add your group members as connections for future discussions.

Poll Everywhere looks good but charges students. Has anyone else a product to share with me. Please send information to me at [email protected] . Thank you for the belp.

Presenter Feedback Survey Template

Time to complete 3 minutes (approx.)

A good presentation can be inspiring, engaging, and compelling. A bad presentation can be boring, confusing, or disappointing. Either way, the audience is left with a lasting impression of the presenter and the topic. How would you rate your latest presentation? No matter the opinion of the presenter, the experience of the audience matters most, and presentation survey questions can help to uncover their candid thoughts.

Some audience feedback will be obvious right away, from attendance to facial expression to levels of applause. Still, an applause meter can only tell you so much. As a presenter or an event organizer, gather more valuable feedback with the Presenter Feedback Survey. Nobody wants to disappoint an audience, but it’s much easier to make improvements if you know how well expectations have been met.

Presentation feedback surveys can be used to improve the quality of the presentation, the style of the presenter, or even the schedule of future presentations. The best presentations are a collaboration between presenter, audience, and organizer. Be sure your next presentation meets your goals by ensuring communication is more than just one-way.

ChartExpo Survey

How to Prepare a Survey Results Presentation?

Data insights are the backbone of any survey results presentation.

People want data before making a decision. But they want it in a form that’s appealing to their emotions.

So, how do you serve data in a tantalizing and easy-to-understand form?

Let’s imagine you’ve just gathered survey responses. But you’re stuck in the trenches. You don’t know how to turn these responses into compelling data stories.

How do you jump over this obstacle?

Survey responses are complex and may have textual and numerical data. This requires you to change your strategy during the analysis phase.

We recommend you try these charts, namely:

CSAT Score Bar Chart

Customer satisfaction chart, likert scale chart.

These survey-based charts and graphs are tailor-made specifically to help extract in-depth insights into your survey responses.

Yes, you read that right.

Excel lacks ready-to-go, easy-to-read, and insightful survey results presentation graphs.

We’re not recommending you dispose of your Microsoft Excel.

Installing third-party apps (add-ins) to access ready-made and easy-to-decode survey results presentation charts.

In this blog, you’ll learn:

• How to create compelling survey results presentation charts?
• What is survey data?
• What are the best graphs to use for survey results?
• How to present survey results using the Likert scale?
• The tested add-in you can install in Excel to access ready-to-go Survey-based charts.

How to Conduct a Survey Results Presentation?

Before jumping right into the how-to guide, we’ll address the following question: what is survey data?

What is Survey Data?

Survey data is the information collected from target respondents.

This data is usually about a specific topic to conduct research.

You have multiple methods at your disposal if your goal is to gather survey data for further analysis.

In fact, you can use a diverse number of mediums to gather feedback and opinions from the desired sample of your niche market.

Seasoned data visualization experts use freemium tools like Google Forms and Microsoft Forms to collect survey data faster.

These tools are free, easy to use, and, most importantly, shareable via email, social media, or website embeds.

Once you have gathered responses, what’s the next step?

This is what we seek to address in this blog.

In the coming section, we’ll address the following question: what are the best graphs to use for survey results?

What are the Best Graphs to Use for Survey Results?

Some of the tested and recommended charts for visualizing survey data include the following:

A CSAT Score Bar Chart is one of the survey results presentation-oriented visualizations you can use to display insights into your data.

The chart shows a Net Promoter Score – a customer experience-based metric.

The resulting insights are displayed along a Y-axis between -100 and +100. Use this graph to measure your customers’ level of loyalty.

A Customer Satisfaction Chart is a survey result presentation-based graph you can use to display insights into close-ended questionnaire data.

The visualization shows the respondents agree or disagree with topics related to your brand. The easy-to-interpret chart is segmented into red and green, representing YES and NO.

A Likert Chart is one of the survey results presentation-based visualizations you can use to showcase insights into the sentiments of your target respondents.

This psychometric scale-based visualization is best suited for displaying insights into survey data.

There are many Likert Scales types, depending on agreement/disagreement levels. For instance, a 7-point Likert Scale Chart has up to 7 options for each question.

In the coming section, we’ll show you how to present survey results using the Likert Scale.

Also, we’ll unveil to you the tested and recommended add-in you can install in Excel to access survey result presentation-based visualizations, such as Likert and CSAT Score Bar Charts.

You don’t want to miss this.

How to Present Survey Results Using the Likert Scale?

Excel is one of the popular tools of visualization among business owners.

But it lacks ready-made survey results presentation-based visualizations, such as Likert Scale.

We’re not advising you to do away with Excel. 

There’s an amazingly affordable tool that comes as an add-in you can easily install in Excel to access ready-to-go and easy-to-read survey results presentation-based visualizations, such as Likert.

The tool is called ChartExpo.

ChartExpo is an add-in you can easily install in your Excel to access ready-made and visually appealing survey results presentation-based visualizations, such as CSAT Score Bar Charts.

ChartExpo’s Features and Benefits

• You can turn overwhelming tables and spreadsheets into ready-made and visually stunning charts with just a few clicks.
• ChartExpo has a 7-day trial, which is free. So, if you’re unsatisfied with the data visualization add-in within a week, you can easily opt-out within minutes.
• You have unlimited freedom to customize your charts and graphs according to your preferences.

In the coming section, we’ll show you how to install ChartExpo and visualize your data using easy-to-follow steps.

Let’s get started.

In this section, we’ll show you how to visualize your survey responses using a Likert Scale (one of the tested and proven survey result presentation visualizations).

Let’s get on with it.

To get started with ChartExpo in Excel, follow the steps below:

• Open your Excel desktop application.
• Open the worksheet and click the Insert button to access the  My Apps option.

• Click the Insert button to initiate the ChartExpo engine.

• Click on Likert Scale Chart icon to get started.

• Highlight your data and click the Create Chart From Selection button, as shown.

• Check out the final chart below.

What do you mean by survey data?

You can use diverse mediums to gather feedback and opinions from the desired sample of your niche market.

What is the primary purpose of the survey?

Surveys can help you gauge the representativeness of your target market’s views and opinions.

When done well, they provide reliable insights into people’s opinions and sentiments that can be used to make crucial decisions.

Visualize survey responses using charts and graphs, such as CSAT Score Bar and Likert Charts.

People want data before deciding. But they want it in a form that’s appealing to their emotions.

How do you serve data in a tantalizing and easy-to-understand form?

Assume you’ve just gathered survey responses. But you’re stuck in the trenches. You don’t know how to turn these responses into compelling data stories.

Survey responses are complex and may have qualitative and numerical data. This requires you to change your strategy during the analysis phase.

We recommend you try these charts, namely CSAT Score Bar, Customer Satisfaction, and Likert Scale Charts.

These survey-based charts and graphs are tailor-made to help extract in-depth insights into your responses.

The choice of visualization tool matters immensely because charts are the ‘carriers’ of insights.

Keep reading to learn the Dos and Don’ts of survey data charts.

There are plenty of survey results presentation examples to inspire your imagination and simplify your learning.

In this blog you will learn:

How to use Likert Scale Chart to Present Survey Results?

Pay attention to visualizations in survey results presentation, how to visualize your survey data using csat score, how to visualize your data using rating bar chart.

If you want to learn more about customizing this chart, setting properties, header, footer, and labels you can read our guide on How to Present Likert Scale Data. The hacks we’re about to share are used frequently by thousands of seasoned data visualization experts worldwide. So they’re tested and proven.

Well, these charts come in handy in multiple scenarios. And this means they can be reliable in visualizing survey data.

However, there are charts, which are custom-specific and tailor-made for surveys. This implies you don’t have to do unnecessary editing to align your visualizations with survey data stories.

These 5 survey charts are namely:

i-Likert Scale Chart

A Likert scale  is also known as a bipolar scale, which means that it consists of two opposing poles. You can use this chart to measure the intensity of feelings, opinions, and attitudes towards a subject matter.

A Likert Scale chart visualizes how much a respondent agrees or disagrees with a particular statement. The scale assumes that the strength and intensity of the feelings are linear. More so, it goes from a complete disagreement to a full agreement.

The questions in Likert scales range from general to even more specific topics. Besides, this chart is straightforward, so you can quickly gain insights from just a glance.

The Likert Scale is one of the most used charts in visualizing survey data. Check out the second-most used visualization chart below.

ii-CSAT Score Bar Chart (NPS Chart)

A CSAT Score Bar Chart or NPS Chart gives a complete picture of the user’s opinion from a bulk of textual information. The whisker box represents the score.

You can deploy this chart to visualize your survey data with full confidence. Besides, this chart is straightforward to read and understand. So your audience won’t end up being confused when you incorporate it in your survey results presentation story.

iii-CSAT Score Detail Charts (NPS Detail Charts)

The CSAT Score or Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a popular customer feedback metric that indicates the likelihood of people promoting a particular brand to their friends and family.

It is calculated from responses of the likelihood of recommending a brand on a scale of 0 to 10. Besides, the respondents are sorted into 3 groups based on their responses:

• 0 to 6 correspond to detractors
• 7 and 8 are passives
• 9 or 10 are promoters.

The NPS is simply the percentage of promoters minus the percentage of detractors.

NPS= Promoters — detractors

iv-Customer Satisfaction Chart

These are charts that visualize the voice of customers by segregating the promoters and detractors.

Remember, promoters (green color) are individuals who are likely to recommend your brand. Conversely, the detractors (red color) are individuals who are dissatisfied with your brand.

So when you’re visualizing the voice of customer data, pay attention to the detractors because they may cause your brand harm down the line. You need to address the points of dissatisfaction to prevent them from spilling into social media.

v-Rating Bar Charts

As the name suggests, the role of this chart is to visualize your brand ratings data, especially on platforms, such as Etsy, Google My Business, and Amazon stores.

Checking on this data from time to time is incredibly essential, especially if you run an e-commerce business. Why?

Ratings act as social proof that your product or service addresses the problems it claims. So it’s an essential factor that can either attract or repel both warm and hot leads.

The red color presents the magnitude of bad ratings while the green one represents satisfied customers. And the grey part represents the fence-sitters, who need a slight push to the promoters’ side.

Now that you know the custom charts for visualizing survey data: Let’s delve into actual storytelling hacks.

Always Use Relevant and Easy-to-Read Charts

There are many different graphs and other types of visual displays of information. But only a handful will work for the majority of your survey result presentation needs.

Choosing the best chart possible to embody your data story depends on your big idea.

We’ve all been victims of boring, long, and disorganized presentations and meetings. And one of the biggest fails in storytelling with data in survey results presentation is the random use of charts.

Different charts come with different uses. So your choice of data should be influenced by multiple factors, such as:

• Audience type
• Nature of the data
• The main goal (the big idea)

Let’s agree on this: Choosing just any type of chart to visualize your data is wrong. More so, it’s likely to break your survey results story.

You need a tool with specialized chart templates specifically for surveys to uncover even the hidden insights. Keep reading because later on, we’ll reveal the recommended tool that does an fantastic job.

Avoid Charts Jumbled with Multiple Details

One of the characteristics of a compelling survey results presentation is easy-to-read charts. Yes, graphs that are free from jumbled mess. Clutter is one of the biggest enemies of persuasive communication.

You may be tempted to cram tons of information in your charts to appear informative.

Please don’t because it won’t help your case.

We use visual charts in a survey results presentation to condense pools of data into insights. So charts are incredibly crucial in reports to increase the credibility and, most importantly, appeal to the logos (logic) of the audience.

Identifying and removing chart clutter reduces visual “noise,” allowing the audience to focus on the key takeaway.

So what is noise?

Noise is the element in charts that’s not necessary to comprehend the information represented in the graph.

In other words, anything that’s not helping you to communicate the BIG IDEA is noise and should be done away with.

Some of the common clutter items in survey results presentation include:

• 3-dimensional effects
• Dark gridlines (use soft gray grid lines or eliminate gridlines when possible)
• Overuse of bright, bold colors
• Unnecessary use of all uppercase text (uppercase text is only necessary when calling attention to an element)

The Best Online Survey Tools For Data Collection

To conduct a successful survey, you need the right tools.

• For face-to-face surveys, you’ll need a group of people who will visit participants, enough printed survey copies, or a way to record spoken answers.
• For telephone surveys, you’ll need a group of people who can call participants over the phone. And a computer program or printed survey question forms to record the data.
• For online surveys, you can use several different tools.

Below are our favorites:

  1. Typeform

This platform comes with 120+ integration with other apps like Google Sheets, Zapier etc. With zero coding, you can create your survey forms, even this platform has a sister brand that provides video surveys linked with questionnaires.

Use the steps below to gather data from Typeform servers

• To collect and analyze the survey data from a Typeform, download it as an Excel or CSV file.
• For more than 20 answers, connect the Google Sheets integration to your Typeform.

  2. Google Forms

Collecting survey data in a Google Form is easy. There are many ways to show your question and get the response either in the form of a radio button, check box, or text boxes. You can link your form with a spreadsheet as well.

  3. SurveyMonkey

Creating a survey in SurveyMonkey is easy. And this is because they also offer data analysis tools for your results like filtering and grouping.

Besides, it offers simple presenting tools for your data. You can also download the results as a CSV or Excel file.

  4. Stripo

With this tool, you can create a survey directly in an email and save all your results to visualize later.

After collecting your survey data, the next step is visualizing the results for presentation. To make your survey results presentation more appealing, you need visual charts that are clear to read and interpret.

Remember, as the ‘bearers of insights,’ charts need to be simple. You want every bit of insight that supports the big idea to be out in the open for everyone to see.

Besides, to reduce the chances of the audience getting “lost in the data,” compelling data storytelling requires adhering to the best practices and employing the right visualization chart. Why?

The backbone of every persuasive communication is the strategic use of visual images to inspire imagination in the minds of the audiences.

So when you use a simple and easy-to-read chart, you make it easier for audiences to grasp insights.

The simpler and more relevant visuals, the more engaging the overall presentation will be for your audience. Although there’s a time and place for all charts, some graphs are easier to understand than others.

How do you select the right chart?

It depends on your overall goal. Or the survey data insights you want your audience to know.

To select the chart that’s aligned with your survey data story, test and test again. Use people who share traits with your target audience to test. Their opinion and insights reflect what you’re likely to get during a live survey outcomes presentation.

Furthermore, they’ll help you nail the presentation.

This is why selecting the right tool to visualize your survey data matters a lot. It can be the difference between the success and failure of your presentation.

Below are the reasons why you need to pay extra attention to the charts you incorporate into your report.

What’s The Reliable Tool to Use to Visualize Your Survey Data?

Let’s start with the free tools.

Google Sheets is one of the free tools out there for visualizing data. This spreadsheet app has a simple and friendly user interface. So it’s the go-to visualization tool for a majority of people.

However, this tool comes with two significant weaknesses.

Firstly, you will hardly find any chart which is specially made for survey data.

Secondly, Google Sheets comes with a smaller library of charts. And this means you have limited options to test for the relevant that’s aligned with your survey results presentation story.

So What’s The Solution?

The solution is not to ditch your Google Sheets and lose your privileges of using it FREE. No. We recommend you to supercharge with an Add-on, which comes with a friendly, easy-to-use interface.

You don’t need to run scripts or acquire programming skills to get insights from your survey data. All you need is to feed your variables in the tool to get charts that complement your survey presentation seamlessly.

What’s ChartExpo?

ChartExpo is a highly affordable and easy-to-use Google Sheets Add-on that creates simple and easy-to-read visualizations for your survey results presentation.

Likert Chart In ChartExpo

Visualizing your survey data  using this chart in ChartExpo is amazingly easy, as you shall see.

Let’s create a scenario.

Imagine you’ve been tasked by hospital management to survey the ratings of the medical institution in various areas, such as customer service and hygiene.

The tabular data below depicts the scenario. Actually, it’s the results of our imaginary survey. Remember, the ratings range from 1 to 5, and the count is the number of respondents.

Let’s deploy our ChartExpo to get insights into this data to support our story.

• To get started, head to the Extensions  tab , as shown below.

• Proceed to ChartExpo>Open, as shown below

• Click the button labeled Create New Chart.

• Click on Likert Scale Chart, as shown below.

• Fill in the data for visualization. The metric  is the independent variable, while dimensions  stand for the dependent variable.
• In our case, the count is  the main and in the dimensions  section, we have questions and ratings, as shown below .

• Overall, the hospital has a 3.4 rating out of 5
• The hospital needs to work on its overall hygiene. It’s the area that received the lowest score (2.4/5)

Let’s revisit the hospital example. Imagine you just want to know how likely patients are likely to recommend friends and family.

The main survey question is: Would you recommend our hospital? All the responses are graded from 1-10. Let’s use the tabular data below.

• The overall score for the hospital is negative 10. This means that for the hospital to be recommended, it has to increase the number of promoters to increase the net score.
• Detractors outweigh the promoters. And this implies a huge chunk of the respondents are not likely to recommend their friends and family in the hospital.

Imagine you run an e-commerce store, and you want to know the sentiments of customers you target. Checking the rating data is the first place to start.

Assume you’ve got rating data from your e-commerce store. Let’s use the sample data below for our scenario.

Note: Use the same steps as we used for the Likert Scale.

Let’s see our resulting chart.

• The overall rating for the e-commerce store is 5 out of 5
• The number of dissatisfied customers (55%) outweighs the satisfied ones (Green)

How do you turn survey results into a good presentation?

Surveys are a great way to gather information and insights from people. They provide valuable data that can help in decision-making, problem-solving, and understanding customer needs. However, presenting survey results can be challenging as the data can be overwhelming and difficult to interpret for your audience.

Which graph is best for survey results?

There are various types of graphs to choose from, such as pie charts, bar graphs, line graphs, and scatter plots. The best graph for your survey results will depend on the type of data you want to present and the story you want to tell with your data.

Visualizing your survey data to create compelling presentations does not have to overwhelm you.

This blog is loaded with survey results and presentation examples to prove the point above. So if you’ve just landed here, we suggest you go through the blog post to uncover the mystery of survey data storytelling using our hacks and know about the ChartExpo library which provides specialized charts to show survey results.

11 Excellent Post-Webinar Survey Questions

June 16th, 2020 Michael Mayday

In today’s data-conscious age, we all know that it’s critical to gather attendee feedback after your webinars . 

Asking the right post -webinar evaluation survey questions will: 

1) provide the meaningful engagement data you need to improve the quality and responsiveness of your programs.

2) understand your attendees and deepen the relationships you’ve begun with them.

The Best Post-Event Question Examples

Below is a robust, post- event survey used by one of our clients that serves as a great example for a webinar follow-up. 

It provides three specific pieces of audience feedback that you can use to make your programs better: their views on the value of the webinar , the knowledge and skills of the speaker(s) and the likelihood that they will recommend your program to colleagues (the ‘net promoter score’). Note that, when it comes to surveys, timing truly is everything. More on that below. 

Pick and choose among these, or consider using all:

[Event Name] Feedback

Thank you for attending [Event Name].

Your views on the program are important to us. Please provide feedback on this session by completing this survey.

1. What percentage of the information was new to you?

Select: 100% 75% 50% 25% 0%

2. I can use this session information:

Select: Immediately In 2-6 months In 7-12 months Never

3. Would you like to learn more about this topic?

Select: Yes No

4. Please rate the speaker’s knowledge of the topic:

Select: Excellent Good Fair Poor

5. Please rate the speaker’s presentation skills:

6. Please rate the content of the slides/virtual aids:

7. How accurate was the session description?

8. How did the session compare to your expectations?

9. Overall session evaluation:

[If relevant: Additional comments about the breakout:]

10. How likely are you to recommend this session to a colleague? (with 10 being most likely to recommend)

Select: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

11. Please rate your overall experience:

You can of course ask other webinar feedback questions to gain further insight into the needs and interests of your audience. Keep in mind, though, that longer surveys – those that take more than a few minutes to complete – typically generate fewer responses, so if you’re looking for different feedback you may want to swap out questions rather than tacking on new ones.

Remember: with follow-up surveys, timing is everything

Mention the post-webinar survey — and ask people to fill it in — just after the presentation has concluded, right before you start Q&A.

Your attendees are engaged, they’ve either asked questions and are waiting to hear them answered, or are ready to participate in Q&A. The worst time to first mention a survey is in an email when the webinar concludes. By then, your audience is completely disengaged. Recipe for success: mention the survey at engaged moments in the webinar and send soon after.

Post-Webinar Evaluation Questions to Ask for Written Responses

• How could we make the program better?  

______________________________

The answers help you identify improvements you could make to your webinars in general and the current presentation in particular.

• Takeaways: What was your single biggest takeaway?

____________________________________

Responses to this question will confirm you’re focusing on the right issues and/or identify modifications you might want to make to the substance of your webinar.

• Length / pace: The [length / pace] of the webinar was: Too Long/Slow / Just Right / Too Short/Fast

Questions on the length and pace of your program can help you understand how to adjust the delivery of your insight to make the session more relevant and interesting to your audience.

• Additional interests: What would you like to see next?

___________________________________

This question is a good one to include because it helps you align your content calendar to the actual interests and needs of your targets.

• Reasons for attending: Why did you attend today’s program? Required for job / Interesting Topic / Knowledgeable Presenters / CLE

While it doesn’t need to appear on every survey, this question can help if you’re trying to understand what motivates your audience to sign up for your webinars.

• Prior webinars: Have you attended any of our webinars in the past? If so, which ones?

This is a useful question to include when you want to find out how well you’re attracting new participants to your programs.

How to Present to an Audience That Knows More Than You

• Deborah Grayson Riegel

Lean into being a facilitator — not an expert.

What happens when you have to give a presentation to an audience that might have some professionals who have more expertise on the topic than you do? While it can be intimidating, it can also be an opportunity to leverage their deep and diverse expertise in service of the group’s learning. And it’s an opportunity to exercise some intellectual humility, which includes having respect for other viewpoints, not being intellectually overconfident, separating your ego from your intellect, and being willing to revise your own viewpoint — especially in the face of new information. This article offers several tips for how you might approach a roomful of experts, including how to invite them into the discussion without allowing them to completely take over, as well as how to pivot on the proposed topic when necessary.

I was five years into my executive coaching practice when I was invited to lead a workshop on “Coaching Skills for Human Resource Leaders” at a global conference. As the room filled up with participants, I identified a few colleagues who had already been coaching professionally for more than a decade. I felt self-doubt start to kick in: Why were they even here? What did they come to learn? Why do they want to hear from me?

• Persuasive presentations are relevant, reasoned, real, and resonant.

How many of us realize that giving a presentation or making a speech is all about persuasion , influence, and emotional intelligence ? Impactful presenters understand the power of empathy to understand and engage their audience, the efficiency and kindness of having a clear objective and message, and the importance of substance and style—all as a way to connect in a way that engages and inspires.

Much has been written on the power and behavioral science of persuasion, not least by expert Robert Cialdini. His bestselling book Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion explains seven research-based universal principles of influence .

From my experience as a leadership coach working with thousands of people worldwide, I have compiled a list of ten essentials to elevate our presentation.

1. Maintain an "other" focus. What do you know about your audience and how can you find out more? Ask yourself what kind of a speaker will appeal to your audience, what arguments are likely to resonate with them, and what feelings you want to inspire so the audience will positively respond to your ask. If your audience is predominantly data-driven, you may want to use more evidence-based arguments. If the audience is mixed, a combination of data, authority, and storytelling may be more appropriate. Extend Daniel Goleman’s three types of empathy to gather intelligence , understand your audience, and tailor your intervention to connect more profoundly.

2. Determine a specific objective: Presentations aim to effect change in some way. What change do you want to see in your audience? Every presentation aims to change the audience in some way. For instance, gaining their approval for a certain investment, soliciting their buy-in for a change, or creating a sense of enthusiasm for an idea or initiative. The purpose of a presentation is to bring about change so make sure you are clear on what kind of change you want to bring about.

3. Design a grabber: Our attention spans have shrunk as we have more and more competing demands on our attention . If you want to get someone’s attention you need to grab it at the outset and try and hold on. You can do this in a number of different ways. Throw out a question that demands a response from the audience. Give a surprising fact or statistic, or quote from a well-known figure. Tell a story or an anecdote. A good grabber captures the attention of everyone there, and makes them focus on what you have to say.

4. Crystalize your message and construct your arguments : Your message is the heart of your speech. Craft a brief phrase that clearly defines your proposal in 10-12 words. For example, “This post is about crafting presentations that inspire and engage others to elevate their presentations.” Make it memorable by choosing inspiring words, symbols, catchy expressions, something that will remain in the audience's mind. As Brené Brown says: “Clear is kind,” and a clear message provides a path to develop your ideas.

When you have a clear and concise message, it helps you formulate your arguments. Think of developing your arguments using the rule of three —three compelling arguments to convince but not overwhelm your audience.

5. Prepare a call to action: Remember, we want to change our audience in some way, so we need to make our ask in a clear and concrete manner.

Consider your call to action in terms of what you want your audience to think/feel/do:

• Think—“I want you to think about how you can improve your presentations.”
• Feel—“I want you to feel enthusiastic and motivated so that you can elevate your power to persuade.”
• Do—“I want you to try out some of these tips and tools for yourself.”

6. Craft a memorable closing: Close the speech in an elegant and memorable way. We need people to remember what we've told them, so prepare it well. This is not the time to improvise. Try to connect your closing to your opening grabber, which makes the presentation more memorable. Good preparation means preparing everything to the very end—finish well.

7. Plan your delivery: A dynamic speaker draws listeners in by using vocal variety (tone, intonation, speed, volume, pace, pauses, silence) and body language (posture, gestures, expression, and movement) to highlight important points and hold the audience’s attention. Be intentional: How will you use your voice and your body to emphasize a thought or idea? Think about it: If you increased the time you spent on style or delivery by 20 percent, what would it mean for the impact you make?

8. Think about how you will engage your audience : You want the audience to feel considered throughout. Include pauses so they can process what’s being said; connect with individuals throughout the room and make deliberate eye contact while speaking, especially when delivering key points. Read and respond to the audience by changing how you deliver as you go based on the audience’s nonverbal communication .

9. Rehearse and Practice: Practice is one of the most crucial elements of presenting—and probably the most neglected one. If this is new to you start by reading your presentation in front of a mirror to get comfortable speaking your presentation. Next, video yourself and watch out for nervous or distracting habits to eliminate them and identify any areas where you can improve your delivery. If you are feeling brave, practice in front of an audience and ask for feedback.

10. Prepare your success rituals and mantra: Public speaking and/or stage fright can feel debilitating for some. Have your calm-down ritual prepared and ready to go before you start your presentation. This might be a certain gesture, a power pose, breathwork, or a mantra. Try this tip: Identify three adjectives to describe how you would like to show up during this presentation. This sets an intention and helps focus our cognitive and emotional resources on success.

Powerful presenters embrace and extend empathy to seek first to understand their audience. They use this intelligence to carefully make choices about substance and style to create an audience-informed communication experience that feels relevant, reasoned, real, and resonant and creates a pathway for change.

Kentucky Geological Survey to host 63rd annual seminar

LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 9, 2024) — The Kentucky Geological Survey (KGS) at the University of Kentucky will host its 63rd annual seminar on May 15 at the Jacobs Science Building, Room 121, on the UK campus. For this largest annual gathering of geologists in Kentucky, the theme is “KGS for the Commonwealth.” The seminar will explore the breadth of KGS research impact and include behind-the-scenes presentations of KGS collaborations and research resources.  

“This year’s annual seminar aims to really shine a light on all the great research and collaborations going on at the Kentucky Geological Survey,” said KGS Acting Director William “Drew” Andrews, Ph.D. “I’m hopeful that this year’s seminar will increase awareness and engagement of students, community members, scholars and researchers interested in the Kentucky Geological Survey and its impact on Kentucky.”

Gina Lukoczki, Ph.D., assistant professor in the College of Arts and Sciences and KGS geologist, will discuss ongoing KGS critical minerals research. Jason Dortch, Ph.D., assistant professor in the College of Arts and Sciences and KGS geologist, and Meredith Swallom, KGS surficial geologist, both in the KGS mapping section, will discuss their flood and lidar modelling work. Matt Crawford, Ph.D., adjunct professor in the College of Arts and Sciences and KGS geologist, will present on the KGS landslide program and outreach. Steve Greb, Ph.D., adjunct professor in the College of Arts and Sciences and KGS geologist and energy and minerals acting section head, will discuss KGS carbon management projects. Marty Parris, Ph.D., adjunct professor in the College of Arts and Sciences and KGS geologist, will offer insights on the collaboration with Kentucky Division of Oil and Gas in measuring methane from orphaned wells. Liz Adams, KGS archives manager, will provide an overview of the Paul Edwin Potter summer internship program and recognize the incoming 2024 interns.

These KGS experts will be joined by Brad Lee, Ph.D., professor in the UK Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment , who will offer insights on the UK-CAFE/KGS Edge-of-Field projects and Stacy Stanifer, Ph.D., assistant professor in the UK College of Nursing , who will discuss cooperation in radon research. Ethan Davis, 2024 UK Earth and Environmental Sciences MS graduate, will present his thesis on Kentucky meteorites.  

KGS staff will present posters throughout the day with a range of topics from digitizing physical geologic specimens to variations in trace element distributions.  

Unique to this year’s seminar, there will be an opportunity for seminar participants to provide feedback on KGS research and data products. KGS will also host a jobs table where employers can advertise their job openings. Students and job seekers are invited to bring resumes.

First Results from the eROSITA All-Sky Survey: An Open Window to Precision Cluster Cosmology and Astrophysics

Presentation #401.01 in the session Galaxy Clusters/Large Scale Structure.

Galaxy clusters, representing the peaks in the cosmic density field, serve as an independent and powerful tool for investigating the evolution of cosmic structures and advancing our understanding of cosmology. The strategic identification of these clusters through multi-wavelength surveys is essential for scrutinizing gravitational theory, general relativity, and cosmological models. A significant milestone was achieved with the successful launch of eROSITA in July 2019. This German-built eROSITA X-ray telescope, on board the Russian-German Spectrum-RG (SRG) mission, operates within the 0.2-8 keV range and has produced the largest ICM-detected catalogs of galaxy clusters and groups through its All-Sky Surveys. The first eROSITA all-sky survey, with over 10,000 confirmed clusters in the Western Galactic Hemisphere, plays a pivotal role in refining cosmological parameters. Combined with the data from optical surveys like DESI Legacy, DES, HSC, and KIDS, it constrains these parameters at a percent level through the evolution of the cluster mass function. In this talk, I will outline the constraints on fundamental cosmological parameters, neutrino masses, and general relativity derived from the groundbreaking first eROSITA All-Sky Survey. Notably, this survey represents a significant leap forward, exhibiting a 5-9 times improvement compared to previous cluster surveys. Additionally, I will present eROSITA’s significant detection of warm baryons within cosmic filaments identified by optical surveys and in groups and the implications for our understanding of AGN feedback. I will summarize the value-added products made available to the community by the eROSITA consortium’s data release.
