Once you have planned your presentation, collected all the data that supports your message, and organised it in to digestible chunks, the next step is to actually bring this material together and write your presentation.

The notes you write for yourself can be more detailed than the material you provide your audience, but try to avoid giving yourself a word-perfect script and forcing yourself to follow it, as this will come across as forced and unnatural. The presentation you eventually deliver will be honed by repeated practice and adjustment.

Once you’ve ordered the material sensibly and written the content, re-read it and make sure the transitions between sections are logical, as these are often when you presentation can become bogged down or confused.

Tip: Write content on cards or post-it notes that you can re-order and experiment with.

After you are satisfied with the order and structure the only thing that remains is to practice it until you feel ready and confident enough to give the presentation. Remember that not all presentations have to be complicated and that it is the flow and organisation which counts.
