When first starting to write a presentation don’t start using your favourite visual aids s/w. You should wait until you’ve finished the initial draft before doing that.

Therefore it’s important to think about who your audience are likely to be and what expectations they might have. Then when you come to write the speech you will be able to use your expertise to ensure that what you include is very relevant to them.

Next make sure that you understand exactly what you want to get from the session. Are you demonstrating something? Are you trying to pass on some important information? Do you need to get their OK for your project? No matter what your objectives are just, simply make sure that you are clear about them before delving into the text of your presentation.

Then with the above factors in mind you can design a presentation that will be understood by your audience and addresses what you need to achieve as well. You should try and use the power of 3 in the presentation structure. For example a beginning, middle and end. Split the middle part up into three smaller parts. One section for each of the main points you need to make.

Also try to reduce the number of slides to as small a number as possible.

Then, when you come to present the presentation, don’t try not to read off the PPT slides, always face the audience when you are presenting. And remember to smile!
