___ Checklist for both

‘LIVE’ & RECORDED presentations

Being prepared is key to making sure that you’ll be confident when giving your presentation.

This will help you get your point across in a transparent manner, without over-explaining things.

PREPARE YOURSELF

Offline public speaking and online conferences are

two different things.You don’t need to worry about anything as our production team are here to look after the technical side enabling you to focus on delivering your message.

You need to be aware of everything around you, the event’s schedule, the Q&A session, etc.

Prepare your Voice (drink tea with lemon or honey)

Check what’s Behind you (no teddy bears or family photos)

Prepare your Content & Practice

Learn about the Programme/ Audience

Calendar check-in (be ready 30min. beforehand)

THE PRESENTATION

People need to be able to understand your message from the very start, so they don’t get bored and leave the online event.

Use Images

Killer Title and Description

Create a Script - start with the big picture and slowly move to more detailed information. Talk about successes/ failures/ mistakes.

Every Slide should have an Objective/ Reason
