Making a Presentation
• A good introduction will capture your audience’s interest.
• A good conclusion will sum up the main points of your presentation and ensure the your audience has understood.

Constructing a PowerPoint
• Use a minimum font size of 24 to ensure everyone can read it.
• Do not use too many animations as they can be distracting.
• The content of the slide should reinforce the main points you are making in your talk.

Do not read from your notes.
• If you have notes, use only bullet points.
• Do not write out word for word what you will be saying; you will end up reading off your notes.
• Keep your head and chin up; you will appear confident.

Eye Contact
• By looking at your audience, you show confidence.
• Try looking just above the heads of your audience so that it appears that you are looking at your audience.

Speak clearly!
• Speak loudly so that the people at the back of the room can hear you. Imagine you are speaking to a person you know at the back of the room.
• Slow down, do not rush your presentation.

Language

Instead of:Hiya I’m gonna tell ya
about….
