For many, this is the part they dread. Here are a few tips to ensure things go smoothly.

Planning
It seems really obvious when someone says you need to plan your presentation. Often however this is an area that is skimmed over. How long? As a general rule, I suggest that you take the time allocated for the presentation time and multiply it by 3 to give you an indicative time for your planning.
Structure
If you are going to get your message across you need structure. One of the best tips I ever received was to think of the presentation like a newspaper article. You have:
A headline
Two or three messages
Slides
Many of us will have heard the term death by power point. Presenters can often:
Have too many slides
Have too much content on the slides
Use too many graphics
Again, as rule of thumb, if you are doing a presentation lasting 10-15 minutes you are unlikely to need more than 6 slides.
Practice
No matter how many times you have delivered a presentation you need to practice you presentation in advance. Start with standing in front of a mirror. Then move on to practising in front of your family or partner. Then colleagues and friends. Try to do at least 3 practice runs.
Feedback
Ask and listen carefully to the feedback you are receiving about the structure, slides and delivery. See this as an opportunity to turn a good presentation into a great presentation.
