Consider whether you will be using visual aids or just standing in front of your audience to deliver your presentation.

Page 7: IQ Work Hacks - Presentations

Would you feel more comfortable with a visual aid to take the eyes off you, or would you be distracted by it?

Page 8: IQ Work Hacks - Presentations

If you do use visual aids, make sure that you don’t just read from the slides that are being shown.

The audience can do that themselves, they want something extra, more juice, and more detail.

If you have a tendency to do this, then just use the slides for pictures to keep your audience engaged.

Prepare before you present.

Page 12: IQ Work Hacks - Presentations

This is key to making sure your presentation runs smoothly.

Page 13: IQ Work Hacks - Presentations

Try making some key cards for each slide with no more than 5 words on each.

If you lose track of where you are during the presentation, look at your key card for a quick reminder.

This will show the audience that you are nervous and they may not take you as serious as someone who oozes confidence.

Page 20: IQ Work Hacks - Presentations

Are you presenting to a large audience or small? Are you in a big auditorium or small meeting room?

Page 21: IQ Work Hacks - Presentations

Make sure that you project your voice to match your location and audience.

Page 22: IQ Work Hacks - Presentations

You do not need a loud booming voice in a meeting room with three people, but you would need that if you’re talking to lots of people in a large room.

If you’re still feeling nervous then follow the old saying,
