7. Adrienne’s Learnings
A presentation is not a document or a
report.
Powerpoint should not be your first
stop.
People lose interest if you don’t
invest in yourself personally.

8. Before the presentation:
Work out my angle
I plan in my head
Write out presentation
Find ‘the’ story
Quick review
A trigger for each slide
During the presentation:
Stand when presenting
Make eye contact
