3. the main points you want to talk :Write out the first draft of presentation. Review the draft. Delete the irrelevant or superfluous Check the story is consistent and flows smoothly.

Practice Makes Perfect
Rehearse your presentation - to yourself at first and then in front of some colleagues.
Try not to read from a script as it is difficult to locate the thing you want to say amongst all the other text. You can prepare cue cards with key words and
phrases on them. Mark on your cards the visual aids that go with
them.

It is Not What to Say

emphasizing the importance of a particular point you are making.

speed, pitch of voice. • Use your hands to emphasize points. • Look at the audience as much as possible,
but don't fix on an individual - it can be intimidating.

DON’T• Don’t Rush, or talk slowly. • Don’t Turn your back to the audience. • Don’t Face the display screen behind you and
talk to it. • Don’t Use detailed referencing of material or
extensive review of data – it won't be remembered and may put the audience to sleep!
