you’re just about done. All that remains is for you
to say thank you to the audience for listening. If
you have handouts to circulate, now is the time to
do it. It’s a good idea to include your contact
details on these handouts so that people can get in
touch with you.
• Don’t rush off stage in case there are tricky steps
to negotiate.
• Keep an eye out for cables, leads, plugs, or even
chairs in the way.

If you’re not interested in what you have to say,
don’t expect your audience to be.

Don’t rush your presentation; it’s important to take
your time. If you speak too quickly then audience will
find it difficult to understand.
• You don’t check the equipment
Make sure everything is exactly in place well before
your audience begins to arrive.

Be careful not to look at the floor during your
presentation, or to direct your speech at one person.
Try and draw your whole audience.
• You’re late!
Try to be on time, otherwise it will be a huge
disadvantage for you and leave a bad impression on the
audience.
