Can you turn 150 pages into a 5 minute presentation before a meeting?

Control the room by starting I am xx here to discuss xxx and will answer questions at the end of my presentation.

If necessary send something to everyone in advance again with highlights you want to emphasise or hand something out at the end.

Now working as an English language teacher I teach students to give presentations to get good exam results and am currently teaching Algerian trainee pilots to give presentations, describe a photo, read a taxt and summarise it and to answer questions on all 3 disciplines.

What is one small habit that has transformed your life in unexpected ways?

With no knowledge of the subject, or your level of English, giving presentations and editing it's hard to say!

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail, and I fear that is your problem! You are overwhelmed and don't have a clue where to start.

Lots of the writing will be blah blah blah so ignore it. It's the who, where, when, why and how much that counts, usually.

What are some cute stories with your crush?

Use diagrams or photos with simple key points

Personally yes, I could as I have worked on sakes and marketing, so gave many presentations on a variety of subjects.

Use the 4 point plan. Introduction, good points, bad points and conclusion.

What are some other ways to respond to someone saying "thank you" besides "de rien" or "vous ĂȘtes bienvenue"?
