Stand straight so they see you, Speak clearly so they hear you, Sit down quickly so they remember you: The Art of Making a Good Presentation

Delivering a good presentation is an art. Here are some basic tips on presentation skills:

• Structure your entire presentation around one argument or main idea.
• Think through your introduction and conclusion - both should be relevant to your main idea.
• Develop on the details of the main idea as you go along.
• Less is more! Keep text to a minimum.
  
• Use images appropriately to convey your ideas.
• Use colours that are easy on the eye.
  
• Avoid reading the text from your slides; instead use them as a cue.
• Intersperse formal points quotes, anecdotes and stories that are relevant to your argument.
• Speak clearly and succinctly. Avoid fillers such as 'uum' or repetitive words such as 'basically', 'alright' or 'okay'.
• Rehearse in front of an audience or before the mirror.
