Introduction
• Set the presentation tone
– Who are you?
– Where are you from?
– Are you really an expert?
• Never apologize for giving a presentation
Dressing for Success Dressing For Success

• Dr. Ian McWhinney
Interactivity
• Audience response
• Small group work
• Self‐reflective exercises
• If I’m part of the presentation I’m more likely to say it was a good presentation
Organization

– Objectives
• Tell them
– Presentation

Handling Questions
• Repeat them if not using a microphone
• Control them
