1. Design your slides
…don’t just cobble them together.
• Use a simple font & no elaborate colours
• Have a max. of 10 lines per slide
• Use the slides as just an outline to your
presentation

2. Tell a story & use signposts
Stories have beginnings, middles and ends…
• Formally introduce & conclude your
presentation
• Tell the audience what you’re going to talk
about; talk about it; tell the audience what
you just talked about
• Include signpost slides

3. Practise your presentation
Then, you…
…won’t have to look at the slides
…won’t be surprised by anything on the slide
…will present a professional air
…will appear prepared to the audience

4. Know your key points
The sole purpose of your presentation is to get
your key points across to your audience

5. Stay on time
Practise your presentation & know how long to
spend on each section

6. Be careful with pointers
The audience will be able to read your slides –
only point out stuff in diagrams or flow charts

7. Enjoy questions
• Repeat all questions to make sure all
understand
• Answer in as few sentences as possible – you
can expand fully later

8. Dress a little better than
your audience
Let there be no doubt that you’re the presenter

9. Speak clearly & slowly
• Some of your audience may not have English
as a first language
• Speak to your audience – not the screen

10. Be enthusiastic
…fake it if you have to.
This trait will carry the presentation…

Even if you remember only one of these ideas
your presentations will be the better for it.
