Life's a Pitch: presentation notes

From Patrick's presentation about presentations I made some key notes that I want to take into consideration for my long PPP presentation, Life's a Pitch & Collab pitch:

• Dress Appropriately
• Introduce yourself, smile & say hello
• Use pauses & speak clearly
• Practice timing
• Rehearse!!!!!!
• Distill down information to whats important
• Make eye contact
• Be expressive, animate your points
• Use humour, be relatable to the audience
• Use prompts but don't rely on a script
• Build in variety, don't let the audience get bored
• Speak with high energy, show you're excited about what you're talking about
• Take some risks?
• Prepare, prepare, prepare
• Don't rush
• Keep slides visually exciting, not too much writing/ academic information
• Show vulnerability, don't be cocky
• Don't take yourself too seriously
• Bring water
• Use WE as opposed to I
• Simple, Engaging, Relevant
