It takes one hour of preparation for each minute of presentation time.

A theme is a memory aid, it helps you through the presentation just as it also provides the thread of continuity for your audience.

No one can remember more than three points.

No one ever complains about a speech being too short!

Top presenters have total control of their fears. They make fear their slave, not the master.

Humor heals the heckler.

Ask a heckler to identify himself and his company. They usually prefer to be anonymous.

I use many props. The props act as cue cards reminding me of what to say next.

They expect a professional presentation, so they expect to see a "professional." Dress appropriately for the occasion, but don't be one of the crowd.
