- 3. Lessons. Speak from your heart. Your presentation should be authentic and original. It should come from within you, not from your notes or slides.
- 4. Prepare. First, write down your own ideas before going to Google or PowerPoint. Build a storyline, a flow.
- 5. Practice, Practice, Practice. “What we hope ever to do with ease, we must first learn to do with diligence.” - Samuel Johnson
- 6. Present. Let your passion through; don’t try to hide nervousness. Use a conversational tone. Don’t read out slides! Make eye contact. Minimize movement except if you’re comfortable walking on the stage.
- 7. If you have to use slides, Consider Guy Kawasaki’s 10/20/30 Rule. Eliminate noise. Watch grammar. Limit text, use images.
- 8. When your presentation is good… Your audience stays engaged. Your message is passed across successfully. Your listeners remember.
- 9. Ultimately, A good presentation is more than bullet points or beautiful slides or speaking style, Substance counts…let it come from your heart. Your presentation should stir your listeners toward change – a call to action, or at least spark up a conversation.
