2. Signposting where you are
Imagine you are driving along a road that you do

This is the same for people listening to a
presentation: they need signals to guide them so
that it is easy to follow the presentation.

be easy to practise it:

practise sessions. Then watch them
and think about what you could do
better.
Talk to Yourself
