Charts, graphs, handouts…

 Always allow time at the end of your presentation for questions.

 Repeat the questions.

 Answer that last 10-40 seconds work best.

 Find the way to agree with part of

their argument.

• The main enemy of a presenter is

tension, which ruins the voice, posture

& spontaneity.

• Your feelings: “very nervous”; “throat

dries up”; “voice goes”; “mind goes

blank”; “heart is pounding”…

Is there a medical term for this

feeling of dread?

These are sth you can do:

• Do not fight the nerves, welcome them.

• Remember our ancestors’ “ fight or flight

” syndrome.

• Winners use nerves to their advantages

while the losers get overwhelmed by them.

• Take a moment to yourself.

Remember to begin at the beginning

Speak to the audiences.

People love to laugh.

Sometime details can kill the

presentation.

Make a presentation in group.
