Give some advice about the structure and the organization of a presentation

Introduction Main body Conclusion

Which are the most important parts?

Above all, first impression can be nearly impossible to reverse or undo.

First impression will condition your talk: a good beginning will make the audience

empathize with you and your ideas things that start badly can usually get worse

A common mistake: Due to time limitations, some speakers often neglect this part and skip concluding remarks, but…

A presentation without a conclusion could be perceived as an unfinished work .

The conclusion is your last chance to summarize and put order on your ideas.

Last but not least: the conclusion will shape the final impression which will remain on the minds of your audience.

Prepare especially the beginning and the end of your presentation.

Don’t improvise at those parts: learning them by heart will transmit sensation of control and domain of the matter.

Let’s leave that for another presentation.

Thanks for your attention!
