Idea 63: Planning and writing your presentation
Usually it is possible to define your aim in terms of the results that should follow from a presentation. These may fall into broad areas, such as change, commitment, action or understanding. It is then necessary, if possible, to break them down to more specific objectives by asking ‘What change?’, ‘Commitment to what?’ or ‘Understanding what in particular?’
Having written down your objective or objectives, focused at the right level of specificity for the expected audience, your next job is to sketch out a framework or skeleton of your presentation. Reduced to its most simple form it should have a beginning, middle and end.
