Rehearse!

Rehearse!
The presentation is now about ready to be delivered. But you must rehearse first to ensure the presentation:

• Follows a logical structure

• Gets across the key points

• Is geared to the audience type and size

• Sticks to the time allowed

• Remember that the first 3 minutes are critical

• Use facts/stories

• Use relevant quotations - this gives your points credibility but make sure the person you are quoting is credible

Ask a friend or colleague to listen to you and get their feedback. Get them to ask you questions to help you anticipate and plan responses.

Have you been 'tough on information'? You might have included a lot of interesting information, but is it really necessary? Be more effective to get the message across by being critically selective Put secondary information into a handout for audience members to read at their leisure
