Public Speaking and Presentation

1. Audience analysis

Know who the audience is, what they already know, what they need, and how much time is available. A technical presentation to specialists and the same content simplified for a general audience are genuinely different presentations.

2. Selecting and researching the topic

Choose a topic scoped to the time available - a broad topic in a short slot forces shallow coverage. Research thoroughly enough to answer likely follow-up questions confidently.
