(During the presentation)
1. Be sure to take the Attendance both before and after the presentation to grab
all participants. Leave at least 5 minutes to do this task both times.
2. When reading keep your head up, and if possible, hold the notes at eye level.
The more you keep your head up, the better you project.
3. What you say is as important as how you say it. If you pretend youre reading
from a script, your voice will come out the same. Add some personality
behind the words. Inflect your voice to add highs and lows and increase the
level of excitement in your participants.
4. Relax! This isnt Rocket Science! You know your stuff, and you are the expert.
Take charge.
5. Dont be afraid to make mistakes. It can only help to show youre human.
6. Dont be afraid to ask your presenter to go back a slide, or to another feature
in the CHS. The more you show, the more your participants learn.
7. Keep track of time, just enough to make sure youre not rambling on. Limit
your time for your speaking points and questions.
8. Did we mention to RELAX?
