Presenting your presentation

	Test your Presentation		Allow time before you start your presentation to test the equipment you are going to use. Familiarise yourself with the set-up so that you can focus on your presentation and not on where the next button is. Check the clarity of the content and the colours again, and make changes if necessary.
	Introduce yourself		Always introduce yourself and your topic, and briefly explain the process that you are going to follow with your presentation.
	Be professional		Your appearance (dress and grooming), the quality of your handouts and your visual presentation, etc., are very important.
	Timing		Start promptly and keep within your time frame. Remember to leave enough time for questions afterwards.
	Be enthusiastic		Be enthusiastic about your presentation and remember to smile - this will help to relieve some of the stress.
	Make eye contact		Remember to make eye contact with your audience. Never read your presentation - this is boring and you will lose the attention of your audience.
	Speaking		Speak as loudly and clearly as you can to make sure that all the members in your audience can hear your presentation. There is no point in giving a presentation if most of the audience has trouble hearing you. If you struggle to speak louder, make use of a microphone system. Don't speak too rapidly.
	Thank you		At the end of your presentation, thank your audience for their time.
