Most presenters at most presentations give handouts to the audience. And the presentation handout was born. Now I'm not suggesting that every handout is a useless piece of stuff. But I am suggesting that, somewhere along the way, we've lost our common sense about when a handout is helpful and what makes it helpful. Before you fall into these habits, ask yourself whether the audience even needs a handout. So do handouts have any value?

I have always felt that slide presentation handouts were a bad idea. We changed his presentation on this slide to have an image that supports what he was going to say and then created a deck that he would then handout that had the information on it. Your intentions might be good, but as the saying goes, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." " The idea is a good one: you want your audience to follow along.

Is it possible to replace the paper handouts we use for our presentations with a more environmentally friendly electronic version that the audience downloads in advance or just before we start? Electronic handouts can save money on printing, save the environment by using less paper, and be easily shared with others, extending the reach of your presentation. Deciding on the format for the handouts is probably the easiest decision when moving to electronic handouts.

Since your slides aren’t your presentation, providing your slides as handouts, even after your presentation, does not truly benefit the audience. If they do need handouts, providing them with a document after your presentation formatted specifically for reading. You can put the necessary amount of content on this document and if you hand them out after your presentation, you can avoid competing for attention with your handouts.

Handouts are important! Here are two big reasons for using handouts: You can’t expect people to remember everything you said, so handouts give your audience something to look at afterward. Sometimes people miss your presentation and they can read your handout instead. Remember that slides shouldn’t contain the entire content of what you say, but handouts can. But printing handouts is expensive and uses paper and ink.

If you want your public speaking handout material to be kept forever, you must give each audience member a reason to keep it. I do this by strategically adding important reference material to EACH PAGE of the speaking handout. The reason the information isn't put on one page at the back of the handout is because that page could be torn off and the rest of the handout thrown away. Don't forget to put your contact information on every page of the handout too.

When I do a shorter presentation, I also consider whether I need to take a different approach to my handout. Normally in my half-day or full-day workshops, my handout is a printout of most of my slides so that the audience doesn’t have to write down every point I am making and has the space to take notes on how they will implement the ideas I am sharing. In the conference presentation I did two weeks ago, I supplied a two page handout.

In my mind, a handout is a recall aid for the audience. I see some handouts where I wonder what the presenter was thinking. But the quote wasn't on the handout, so people spent time writing the quote down instead of listening to what the presenter was saying about why this idea was important. It's also why I always give the handout before I start, so people can focus on understanding the points and figuring out how they apply instead of busily writing down notes.
