Delivery
1. Get yourself in state: how do you need to be - to deliver a professional, engaging, passionate and
heartfelt presentation? How do you need to feel? Check your posture? What language will you
use? What will you focus on before and during the presentation?
2. Learn your introduction: start strong, grab attention and make that first impression count. Then
set the scene.
3. See yourself as a dynamic orator and storyteller with the job to connect with your audience.
4. Be yourself: your talk, walk and look - it is about being authentic, confident, well informed and
passionate about your subject. And sure of your intent.
5. Pace yourself: slow down, breathe and articulate your words clearly. Speak in your own voice, use
it and develop your own style.
6. Smile and relax into it and build rapport with your audience
7. Maintain eye contact with the audience not your visuals.
8. Make it interactive but retain your control to facilitate the discussion and deliver your message.
9. Conclude leaving the audience positive and hopeful. Do not end on questions.
10. Ask for feedback and use it to learn and improve your skills.
