Introduction
The PMBOK Guide 6th edition has an appendix dedicated to the techniques and tools that are grouped together for their objectives.
In a total of 132 techniques and tools, 72 of which are grouped into 6 groups according to the intention of what should be done and the different methods to achieve that intention.
The remaining 60 tools and techniques are not grouped
This grouping is performed in a table that crosses the process and area of knowledge with the techniques and tools
Groups of tools and techniques
The groups integrate a set of tools and techniques and have the following designations:
- Data collection techniques - 9 tools and techniques
- Data analysis techniques - 27 tools and techniques
- Data representation techniques - 15 tools and techniques
- Decision making techniques - 2 tools and techniques
- Communication skills - 2 tools and techniques
- Interpersonal and team skills - 17 tools and techniques
- As mentioned, there are 60 techniques and tools not grouped
One of the techniques and tools used in Communication skills is presentations
Show me your PowerPoint
The use of audiovisual media was generalized to support the presentations
Many people just read what they write and project when presenting
To be more effective in presentations supported by PowerPoint (or any other program), I share some suggestions:
1. Only one message per slide
2. To guide the attention of recipients, resort to:
- Contrast
- Size of images and body of letters
3. Avoid using phrases while speaking
4. The background of the slides must be dark or black
5. Use 6 objects (maximum) per slide
I share this video by David J.P. Philips on the topic:

Make your point...Show me your power!
In order to have an impact on the audience, presentations must have 3 essential ingredients.
To provoke reactions, to captivate, a presentation has to be:
- Emotive: Reaching the heart
- Singular: Teaching something new
- Memorable: Present the content in an unforgettable way
Emotive
Great communicators appeal to the mind and heart, but most people who make presentations forget to attend to the "heart"
Singular
Originality is the most effective attribute to capture someone's attention
Memorable
There is little point in presenting memorable ideas if the audience is unable to remember what was said
Some tips to have more impact
For a presentation to have a great impact, use the following structure
- Create a key idea you want to convey
- Repeat this key idea several times during the presentation
- Between two key ideas, tell a story or an episode that "anchors" that key idea
I share this video by Dananjaya Hettiarachchi where you can see how the presentation is structured and check the impact it causes
Conclusion
This article addresses how to integrate the elements that distinguish inspiring presentations and the way we see ourselves as leaders and communicators

Dear Alexandre
Thank you for participating in this reflection and for your opinion
Did you have the opportunity to see Dananjaya Hettiarachchi's speech?
That two other famous speeches were made using the structure I proposed:
- Create a key idea you want to convey
- Repeat this key idea several times during the presentation
- Between two key ideas, tell a story or an episode that "anchors" that key idea

Hi LB,
Nowadays there are only two constants, changes and distraction. An inviting and empathetic presentation is a good ingredient for better knowledge transfer.

Unique Luis, The Speech of Mr. Hettiarachchi it conveys, perfectly, in his 7 min video the main idea of your text about an impact presentation...
"Repeat this key idea" - "I know you have something special..."
Then he tells a story - memos about family, friends, work people showing you no matter your ups and downs they can piece you back again.
Storytelling method is a great way to convey any lesson in a presentation.
Congratulations Luis...

Dear James
Thanks for your comment
One of the speeches I was referring to (where the speaker used this technique) was "I Have a Dream" by Martin Luther King Jr.
It was so remarkable that we still remember it today

Pessoalmente, gosto de fazer apresentações apesar que ainda tenho um longo caminho de aprendizado pela frente, mas quando os 3 ingredientes que mencionou (emotive, singular and memorable) estão reunidos o sucesso é garantido...
