Organize your presentation in advance, including time to be spent on each point, to ensure you stay within your timeframe
Give the audience a clear outline of the issues that will be addressed at the beginning of your presentation. Stick to your outline when presenting and do not go off on tangents
Convey energy and passion about your topic by sharing a relevant experience from your practice
Deliver your presentation in a conversational style — never read your materials to the audience
Use charts, diagrams, or images to supplement your presentation. Visual aids can clarify concepts and raise the interest level of the attendees
