‘On the whole this is the way it happens.’

‘Every single time we see this happen.’

‘I think we should…’

‘I am determined that our best plan is...’

‘I am fairly sure about this.’

‘It is completely obvious.’

Signposts

When you write your notes, add in ‘signposts’. This means telling the audience where you have got to in the presentation and where you are going next:

‘I would like to introduce this presentation…’

‘So here is my first key point: the background to this situation…’

‘Now I am going to move on to the second point I want to make…’

‘And my final point is about the way forward for this department…’

‘So those were my three main points.’

‘To conclude my presentation…’

If you make it crystal clear exactly where you have got to in your presentation, the panel will find it easier to follow you, get your meaning, and appreciate the points you are making – which is surely the object of the exercise.

Prompt cards: Summary

Use coloured and highlighter pens.

Use one card for each of your three key points and one for the Introduction and the Conclusion.

Just write down points you want to mention in note form on each card.

Include examples to illustrate each point you make.

Use positive, strong words to express what you want to say.

Don’t forget to add ‘signposts’ to show where you are in the presentation.

Add stage instructions to yourself such as ‘Pause here’ and ‘Smile!’

Punch a hole and use a treasury tag to tie the cards together.

Number your cards in case you get lost.

Keep the cards afterwards as a record of your presentation.
