Essentials.
Use visual aids where
you can.
Rehearse, rehearse,
rehearse.

bullet points –
use pictures
instead.

presentation

whenever you can

the communication medium

2. Rehearsal
"If you fail to prepare, you are prepared to fail"
18
Plan to rehearse your presentation
out loud at least 4 times.
Make sure that one of your
rehearsals is in front of a really
scary audience - family, friends,
partners, colleagues, children.
-They will tell you quite plainly where you
are going wrong - as well as providing
you with the support that you need.
How to Rehearse

Rehearse against the clock

The Five Minute Presentation
Advertisers can get a complete story
across in less than 30 seconds so five
minutes should be fine.

Video or tape record
yourself

3. The Rule of Three
The audience are
likely to remember
only three things
from your
presentation
plan in advance what
these will be.
23
The Rule of Three
There are three parts to your
presentation
The beginning, the middle and the
end.
Use lists of three wherever you can in
your presentation
In Presentations "Less is More"
If you have four points to get across -
cut one out.
24
Lose the Fear: Get out there and
speak.
25
Presentation Hints and Tips
Start with a quotation.
Write it down
Write down your
speech, but try not to
read from it. If you
have written it down - if
you dry up, you will be
able to pick it back up
again.

Business presentation tips
Why are you
presenting?
Block out some time
in your diary.
Reduce bullet points,
increase pictures.
Rehearsing.
“Selling yourself is a key part of commercial life”

Incorporate Humor in your
Presentation

relaxes an
audience and
makes it feel more
comfortable with
you as the
speaker.
