Quick tips

  • Practice your presentation before presenting 
  • Pay attention to presentation structure; your presentation should have an introduction, a main body, and a conclusion, and you should move through these sections in order. 
  • Use notes or your PowerPoint to prompt you; don’t rely on memory alone. 
  • Speak clearly, using a variety of tones in your voice to hold interest. 
  • Be aware of your body language, and don’t forget to make eye contact with your audience. 
  • Engage with your audience by asking them questions
