How To Give The Perfect Presentation
How To Give The Perfect Presentation
‘Presentation’ can be the most dreaded possible word you could hear in relation to work or a job interview. We all know that public speaking can be a daunting and nerve-wracking experience, and while it’s all well and good to say ‘practice makes perfect’, if you’re too nervous to get up and practice – yes, in front of real live people – how will you deliver the perfect presentation?
Following are some essential tips to help ready yourself in order to deliver the smoothest presentation possible.
Preparations
Memorise the Presentation: It is absolutely essential that you prepare, and prepare well, for the presentation. This means planning a structure and learning it, so you know throughout which part of the presentation comes next. Not only will this help calm your nerves by knowing you piece by heart, but it will also show to the audience confidence.
Review the Presentation: Double check your presentation to make sure there are no spelling and grammatical errors, and also check how it looks when viewed on a projector as opposed to just your monitor; it is common for the colours to look less saturated when projecting, which means that any mid-tones become harder to distinguish and so harder for the audience to read.

Wondering how the Zillow CEO has achieved and maintained his success? His weekend routine has something to do with it.
“My weekends are an important time to unplug from the day-to-day and get a chance to think more deeply about my company and my industry,” Rascoff says. “Even when I’m technically not working, I’m always processing in the background and thinking about the company. Weekends are a great chance to reflect and be more introspective about bigger issues.”
He says he always spends weekends with his family. “Even if I’m on the road on a Friday and have to be back in that same city the following week, I always come home no matter what.”
