When explaining ideas or trying to inform people of something, it shouldn’t be verbatim from a textbook or a pile of notes. You should learn the information thoroughly so you can hit certain topics, which would enlighten the people you are talking to about the subject. When in grade school I was taught that you should never pile a lot of information on power points, and only put key facts that trigger your thoughts.

INSTANT MBA: Don't Overload Your Audience With A Bunch Of Data
I agree with the author of this article, but i also think it is a general ideal. For most people especially if it is a new idea, then it is good to give few information at a time. I also think if the people know what you are talking about and need specific then it is a good idea to be detailed, especially if your audience are talking notes that they will revise later.

INSTANT MBA: Don't Overload Your Audience With A Bunch of Data
I agree with this article mainly because I'm the type of person who doesn't pay attention or directly remember statistics. I would rather learn about the impact this information will do for my company and why. During speeches in management class I seem to forget statistics and data charts, but more than likely pay attention to the clear points on why I should be paying attention to the speech. I also like knowing the speakers opinion on the certain topic.

Link #21 Instant MBA Don’t Overload your audience with a bunch of data.
I agree with Kelly Decker’s view on not overloading the audience with too much
information. I have been in several classes where the professor just lectures non
stop and there is no time for any discussion of the information. I have become very
uninterested in the topic a lot of the time. However, when the professor has an
open conversation about the topic, and discusses topic instead of just telling us
information I tended to like the class more. Also, by the professor asking us question
the students were about to learn more about they were implying the knowledge they
had received.

INSTANT MBA: Don't Overload Your Audience With A Bunch Of Data
This article talks about overloading the audience with a bunch of data. It talks about throwing too much stuff at the audience at once. There is only a certain amount of information someone can take an one time. If you overload them you might lose them or hurt yourself in the long run. So never overload the audience and just give them enough so they can handle the information.

INSTANT MBA: Don't Overload Your Audience With A Bunch Of Data
If you are giving a presentation to an audience that knows nothing about what you do or how your business opporates then the audience will not understand a bunch of numbers. Even the people that do understand your business and how it works will probably get bored listening to you. You have to make the presentation simple so anybody (whether they are eduacated about your business or not) can understand what you are talking about. A presentation also has to be entertaining to keep your audience from getting bored and it has to be informing at the same time.

INSTANT MBA: Don't Overload Your Audience With A Bunch Of Data
The key to a successful speech given before any audience is simplicity. The most effective way to keep a topic simple is to "underline" the important issues without overwhelming the audience with non-essential information. This article argues that too much data is an example of this non-essential information and I agree with this statement. References and research are vital parts of effective speaking but an abundance of either is not necessary and will often lead to a distance between the speaker and their audience. In summary, be short, be smart, and be as simple as necessary.

I agree with this article, it depicts how managers and leaders are not suppose to run things. People who have this approach to telling their employees what they want have the adverse effects. Instead of dumping information onto people why not outline what the important points are and have a discussion to get inputs on different subjects. If managers took a different outlook to how they speak and give information to employees then more will get done. When managers tell people what to focus on then more can get done and they can move on to new problems once everyone takes care of the current issues.

This article is about importance of conveying a message clearly without communicating insignificant information that may be useless to those on the receiving in. In reference to the article, I could agree that every communication experience should have some key elements: a clear point of view, a specific action, and benefit. Being a person that suffers from boredom easily or has a rather short attention span, I dislike things that are irrelevant or useless in a sense that what you’re saying has no point. Some people especially in a presentation type of setting tend to ramble or talk just talk in hopes to expand on time. If you’re not connected with your audience or the importance of message becomes lost, then you’ve overloaded them with too much information. I attempt to implement such strategy in conversation and specking because I get annoyed easily when a person talks too much or they speak without any validity to what they’re saying.

I agree with Decker, consider what you want the listeners to walk away with. Don’t load a lot of information on people. They may get overwhelming or float away and do something else. Think about presenting with energy and activities. Make the listeners want to be there. There are ways to get your whole point across without overwhelming or losing the audience.

INSTANT MBA: Don't Overload Your Audience With A Bunch Of Data
It is overwhelming to give too much information at once. The audience will not be able to retain information because their brain will either not process all of it or over process it. Things can become very distorted. It is more effective to give information and let them utilize it to understand, and then add to that knowledge.

INSTANT MBA: Don't Overload Your Audience With A Bunch Of Data
Decker explains that there should be only three specific points to a communication experience, a clear point of view, a specific action, and benefit. As you can see, data is not one of these key points. Often we tend to give people information overload and that can be ultimately ineffective. It is good to inform clients and customers with important points but too much information can be a turn off and send customers to another business.

INSTANT MBA: Don't Overload Your Audience With A Bunch Of Data
I agree with this article because I have been in situations when people have overloaded me with information. It is an overwhelming feeling and leads you to wanting to put working with that information off. It is important for more business students to take writing courses to help eliminate excess information when presenting data. Like the article stated, you want to stay precise and to the point.

INSTANT MBA: Don't Overload Your Audience With A Bunch Of Data
It has always been hard for me to concentrate through large speeches or presentations. To often does the speaker lose the crowd because he/she takes to long to get the main points across. Like the article says when you dump to much information on to someone they become overwhelmed and do not know what to do with all of it. I would much rather sit through many short presentations that way i can process everything have been told and not have to worry if i am forgetting something.

rom experience I know that I get overwhelmed when people give me too much information in a short amount of time. I retain much more information if the information is simplified and broken into key points. This link talks about “data dumping” and how it can have a negative effect on clients and/or future employees.
