I speak "off the cuff" because I find it easy to know what I want to say

I spend time thinking about who the 'audience' is and what they want to gain from the presentation before writing the content.

I prioritise preparation and practice time on the middle of the presentation because that's where most of the information is given.

I visualise the key ideas and concepts to make them simpler and more memorable e.g. diagrams, graphs and pictures.

I make it clear that questions should wait until the end of the presentation.

Under pressure, time writing the correct content takes priority over time practising out loud.

If the talk has a time limit, I practise ensuring it fits within that time limit.

My body language shows my nerves e.g. I go red, get a dry mouth, have shaking hands or similar.

I worry that I'll get asked a question I don't know the answer to.

I am aware of the audience's feedback through their body language and try to adapt my talk accordingly.

I use stories, case studies and examples to bring my presentation to life.

I use my slides to remind me what I want to say.
