  Presentation Tips for Success

  • The “Hook”: Start strong. Since you’re explaining why this is important to you, your personal connection will help grab the audience’s attention right away.
  • Infographic as a Map: Don’t just show the infographic; use it as your “script.” Point to the 10 pieces of info as you talk through your results.
  • The 5-Minute Drill: 5 minutes goes by faster than you think! Spend about 1 minute on the intro/hook, 1 minute on methods, 2 minutes on results, and 1 minute on the “why it matters” conclusion.
