Speak with style

PLAN

Consider what you audience is interested in hearing. Identify key areas and focus on these.
Generally, audiences can assimilate a maximum of three main pieces of info from a presentation.
Think hard about what your three key messages are, mention them in your opening, explore them in your presentation and return to them at the end.
Start strong: The first 30 seconds are crucial. Rehearse your opening until you know it from back to front.
Bring them onboard: Use inclusive language to engage your audience, like “we”.
