Write down your message
One overall umbrella thought must form the basis of your presentation. If the audience remembers nothing else, they must remember this message. Write this down before you
begin

Organize
3Start with an attention-grabber opening and go on to structure your presentation so it has
a proper intro, body and conclusion—like a story. There should be no loose ends. Summarize, recommend, and suggest action

Keep it short
Less always says more. The more words you use, the more you end up diluting the point.
Use slides as your cue cards and talk rather than read out everything on the slide.

Be persuasive
Make it about them—not you. Nobody wants to hear something that makes no difference to them.
Make them care

Keep it interactive

Energize your audience
Stick to specifics and encourage your audience to suggest and discover action points on what you are telling them. No
message is worthwhile unless it has an actionable aspect to it.

Use pictures that say something
Presenters love using pictures. But it’s important to use pictures that actually add value rather than just prove a point already well made.
Clipart too should be used only sparingly.
