10 things to Remember when Presenting
This episode goes out on November 5th.
Presidential election day in the US
Bonfire night in the UK
In the UK we say Remember, Remember the 5th of November – so that’s why this episode is called 10 things to Remember when Presenting
The 5th of November in question was the one in 1605. A bunch of people plotted to blow up King James 1 who was attending the House of Lords as part of the State Opening of Parliament. The plot was discovered just in time following a tip off.
One of the gang was Guido Fawkes. Guy Fawkes has become the name most associated with the plot. Effigies of him are burnt on bonfires and fireworks lit on November 5th.
So on the theme of Remember, Remember here are 10 things to remember when presenting:
- Remember your presentation is about your audience not you
- Remember to arrive early when presenting in person or virtually
- Remember to check in advance the equipment such as screen size that will be available to you
- Remember to take practise seriously
- Remember if you forget something during the presentation only you will know
- Remember your audience are keen to learn from you – you know your stuff that’s why you’ve been asked to present
- Remember to be yourself
- Remember to have a glass of water handy should you need it
- Remember to empty your pockets and get rid of lanyards etc…
- Remember to enjoy presenting!
