TimeYou know how much time you have to present, and you carry with you a watch or your phone with a timer. |
GoalYour presentation has a clear goal – you know what you want to pass along to your listeners. Even if your time were cut from half an hour to 10 minutes, you could handle it. |
Technical aspectYour presentation is ready in PDF form, PowerPoint, or online. |
BeginningYou’ve prepared small talk that you can use before you actually start your presentation. |
EnvironmentYou ensure that the room is at the ideal temperature and that the air isn’t stale. |
PostureLearn to stand straight, don’t slouch, and don’t make exaggerated gestures. |
NervousnessIf you need to compensate for your nervousness, keep a beer bottle cap in your pocket and squeeze it. Don’t play with your marker. |
AttentionPay attention to your audience. If they aren’t listening to you, intervene. |
