We talked about testing earlier, I want to give you another tip. You could argue this as an advanced tip, but you seem like a pretty smart crowd here. I want to give you some advanced tips, even though this is a beginner course because it's not particularly difficult. It costs nothing. And it can help you get so much more comfortable and confident when you are giving that presentation. So here's the concept.

You're giving a presentation to six important colleagues on Thursday are two very important clients on Tuesday. Find one or two colleagues or a friend Tuesday at lunch. Give them your presentation. When you're done. Don't ask them what they think they're your friends, I guess Oh, good job, you'll be fine. worthless advice.

Instead, ask them what do they remember? If they remember your key messages? That means you're doing something right. Keep it up if they remember your images. That means your images, your slides. Keep them that they can't tell you exactly what your messages are Why?

They think you're speaking to them. That means it's not too late to go back to the drawing board, retool it. Keep practicing until your test audience gets it. I know this seems advanced. But it's a lot easier than staying up till midnight rewriting bullet points and changing font sizes on PowerPoint slides, which is how a lot of beginners and advanced people spend their time preparing for a presentation.
