In this episode, we discuss a 5-step process for preparing a presentation that delivers impact. Instead of immediately opening your slide deck program, step one involves getting present to the who, what, where, why, and how of your presentation using a blank piece of paper and a pen. Step two is identifying your three key messages, and step three is designing the chunks of your presentation using a clear structure. Step four involves thinking about what visuals will support your message, and step five recommends pulling together your speaker notes using post-it notes for a flexible, engaged, and authentic presentation.
