General Presentation Tips

  • Have several backup ideas: If one idea is taken by someone else, or your talk isn't going as planned, you can swap to another one
  • Give yourself lots of time to prepare: Start writing and preparing for your talk weeks in advance, don't leave it until the last minute.
  • Rehearse your talk beforehand: This will allow for you to catch any mistakes, and help you get the timing and flow of your presentation.
