Memorize the opening and the closing of your presentation

  • Nail the beginning.
  • Close strong.

Utilize an effective remote

  • A green laser shows better than a red one
  • Keep the button options simple
  • Dark the screen when you’re not referring to a slide
  • Find one with an on/off switch
  • David recommends the Kensington K72427AM Wireless Presenter*

Tools to consider

  • You need to learn to be self-sufficient
  • Adapters
  • Extension cord
  • Duct tape
  • Speakers for audio

David’s final advice

  • Think about your presentation as a story
  • Your slides are not your script
