IN ORDER TO AVOID A PRESENTATION THAT LEADS TO THIS:

PREPARE A PRESENTATION THAT LEADS TO THIS:

Know your audience well before you plan to present Visit the location of where you will be presenting prior to the set date Organize your presentation to include comprehensive information, fun attributes, visuals and reference materials Practice your presentation well beforehand to get your timing concrete while leaving time for question/answer, group activities and one on one conversations Plan your attire to be professional and welcoming

Do you have fears of speaking in front of others? Be confident in your ability to lead and guide others through your presentation Mixing up your presentation allows for movement and freedom, you dont need to be stationary Take deep breaths Have water available to sip on if necessary Dont find one focal point, you have to make eye contact Believe that what you have to present is important and informative Believe that YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!

Tell a story, but tell your story with so much enthusiasm that your audience is on hanging on the edge of their seat Move Dance Speak clearly and with intention Interact, move around with the audience Get your audience to move around with you Build a rapport with the audience

Use technology and visuals to your advantage Make sure that the presentation you develop is engaging and does not take up the entire time of your presentatio Use a clicker to move the slides and so you dont have to tap the space bar Make sure your content is easily understood and that your text is in a basic font, but script or anything fancy Create hyperlinks so that you can easily navigate to any browsing you feel is pertinent
