Prepare Your Presentation

Most people who present don't do much preparation. The ones who do prepare, do not prepare as well as they could. Here are three quick steps to prepare for great results:

1 - Decide what the desired outcome of your presentation is.
2 - Write down everything your audience needs to know in order to produce that outcome.
3 - Think of stories, examples, and analogies that you can use to hone your message.

Once you do these three steps, write out your entire presentation word for word. After you do that, edit it to make it shorter and then practice, practice, practice.
