Why is it that you were ask to speak?
What does the audience expect?

4. Tell a story
Good presentations include stories. The best presenters illustrate their points with the use of stories, most often personal ones.

5. It’s all about content
No matter how great your delivery, or how professional and beautiful your supporting visuals, if your presentation is not based on solid content, you can not succeed.

6. Plan for engaging the audience
Depending on the topic, plan an exercise or ask directed questions to get audience interaction.
Remember to make eye contact
Don’t turn your back to the audience
Ask for questions and don’t keep talking…

10. Visualize
When your presentation is ready, use visualization techniques to help you be comfortable and ready to present.
Concentrate on the room size, presentation equipment, where you’ll be standing, how many faces you’ll see in the audience, how tables are set up – everything!
