1. Let the audi­ence and stake­hold­ers know that you put a huge amount of work on the pre­sen­ta­tion but you are only putting a mere tiny frac­tion of all the research.
2. Smile and relax.  Be cool!
3. Always main­tain the eye con­tact!  It can’t be truer than this.  Main­tain the con­nec­tion between the audi­ence and you.
4. Be in con­trol of all inter­rup­tions.  Over­ride them when required.  Remem­ber, you are the only one that should be doing the talking.
5. Prac­tice and prac­tice and practice!
6. We can’t be prac­tic­ing all day and night long!  Go for the real thing once in a while to build up real expe­ri­ence!  Noth­ing beats real experience!
7. Observe how other pre­sen­ters make presentation
8. Be a good actor when you are pre­sent­ing.  That is, even if you are unsure or not con­fi­dent about the mat­ter.  It’s about how you present and the feel­ing you are giv­ing to the audience!
9. Remem­ber, a pre­sen­ta­tion will invite changes and resis­tance! Be pre­pared for any unpre­dictable situation.
10. Dress appro­pri­ate but don’t over dress.
11. Be early and ear­lier than your audience
12. Ensure all the pre­sen­ta­tion mate­ri­als and assist­ing mate­ri­als are work­ing (e.g. audio and visual equipment)
13. You do not need a bunch of sup­port­ers. A cou­ple of them will be good enough to get you through your pre­sen­ta­tion.  A bunch of them will look like a pre­sen­ter ver­sus audi­ence confrontation!
14. You won’t be per­fect all the time.  Accept it and move on.  There will be bet­ter days ahead where you have learn from your experiences.
15. Stay away from the jar­gons!  Keep your lan­guage sim­ple and under­stand­able to your audi­ence, not you!
