How to Rehearse

 Plan to rehearse your presentation

out loud at least 4 times.
 Make sure that one of your
rehearsals is in front of a really
scary audience - family, friends,
partners, colleagues, children.
-They will tell you quite plainly where you
are going wrong - as well as providing
you with the support that you need.

Advertisers can get a complete story across

in less than 30 seconds so five minutes
should be fine.

3. The Rule of Three

The audience are

likely to remember
only three things
from your
presentation
plan in advance what
these will be.

22
The Rule of Three

 There are three parts to your

presentation
 The beginning, the middle and the end.
 Use lists of three wherever you can in
your presentation
 In Presentations "Less is More"
 If you have four points to get across - cut
one out.

23
Lose the Fear: Get out there
and speak.

24
 Presentation Hints and Tips

 Start with a quotation.

 Write it down
 Write down your speech, but
try not to read from it. If you
have written it down - if you
dry up, you will be able to pick
it back up again.

25
Business presentation tips

 Why are you

presenting?
 Block out some time
in your diary.
 Reduce bullet points,
increase pictures.
 Rehearsing.

relaxes an
audience and
makes it feel more
comfortable with
you as the
speaker.
