Great presentations focus on 1–3 key ideas.

Simplicity ensures clarity and impact. Write down your main points and summarise each in one sentence to stay focused and avoid overloading your audience.

Silence Speaks Volumes!

Use pauses to emphasise key points and give your audience time to reflect. Mark pauses in your notes with slashes (//) to ensure a confident and impactful delivery.

Your opening sets the tone for your entire talk. Start with a question, story, or bold statement to grab attention.

Practise it 3–5 times and test it with a colleague to ensure confidence and impact. First impressions matter!

Public Speaking Tip: Use transitions to link sections and maintain flow. Clear transitions make your talk seamless and help your audience stay engaged. Practice phrases like “Next, we’ll explore…” or “Building on that idea…” to guide your audience.

When delivering a talk, stick to the allotted time! This is not only polite, it maintains the impact of your message. Rehearse with a timer and adjust as needed to stay on track. How do you manage time when presenting?

When speaking, start with a clear purpose in mind. Is your goal to inform, inspire, or persuade?

Knowing this keeps your message focused and ensures it resonates with your audience.

To help, write a one-sentence goal to guide your speech preparation.
