HGW'TO BECOME A GOOD PRESENTER

1. LEAVE NOTHING TO CHANCE
Check everything before you are due to speak — room, seating, visibility,
acoustics and eguipment.

2. KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO START

Plan the first minute of your presentation down to the last detail. Try to
memorize your opening words. This will help you to sound confident and in
control

3. GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT
Don't waste time on long boring introductions. Try to make at least one
powerful statement in the first two minutes.

4. TALK TO YOUR AUDIENCE

Many of the best presentations sound more like conversations. So, keep
referring back to your audience, ask them guestions, respond to their
reactions.

5. KNOW WHAT WORKS

Certain things are always popular with an audience: personal experiences,
stories with a message, dramatic comparisons, amazing facts they didn't
know. Use them to the full.

6. BE CONCISE
Keep your sentences short and simple. Use deliberate pauses to punctuate
your speech.

7. SPEAK NATURALLY

Don't be afraid to hesitate when you speak, but make sure you pause in the
right places. Remember, you are not an actor trying to remember lines. A
certain amount of hesitation is actually guite natural.
