Show an agenda that lists the points you are going to cover. Describe the structure of your presentation, and say how long it will take. Estimate time conservatively — err on the long side rather than the short side.

2. Tell your audience where you’re going

Start with specific, written objectives and a strategy. You need a theme to give your presentation unity and direction, and to fix your purpose in your audience’s mind. Make it a simple theme, easy to remember, and open with it, using a headline to state it. Tie every element in your presentation to the theme.

1. Keep things simple — keep them on target

Play games with them. Invite people to guess the answers to questions, or to predict the results of research — before you reveal them.

4. Involve the audience

What does your data say? Headings on charts should tell the audience how to think about the numbers. … Use headings to establish your main points.

3. Think headlines, not labels

Summarize your main points at the end of your presentation. Remind your audience of your theme and objectives, review the key points you covered, and restate your conclusion or recommendation. End with a strong closing statement that reinforces your message and calls for action.
