HOT TIPS for PRESENTERS

• Arrive one hour before starting time.
• Be ready to greet participants as they arrive. (A handout is a good way to interact, introduce yourself and hand them the handout when they arrive.)
• Start on time by showing a movie, comic, powerpoint with famous, interesting, humorous and provocative quotes.
• Stick to the point by avoiding side-streets.
• Color coding can complement and enhance the points you make.
• A THIRTY-SECOND demonstration (video...) is more effective than thirty minutes of words.
• Everybody loves cartoons. Cartoons can emphasize or highlight a point.
• Give your audience something to look at before the show starts.
• When you say it again, say it differently.
• If needing to point, extend your hand with fingers together and palm up.
• People will believe anything if you whisper it.
• END ON TIME!
