background and set it as per your preference.
26. 3 PRESENT IT LIKE A PRO
If people are looking at your slides and not YOU when you are presenting,
you are doing something wrong.
Keep content on the slide to a minimum. The attention should be on YOU,
not the slide.
27. 3 PRESENT IT LIKE A PRO
Maintain eye-contact with the audience.
And most important of all : BE CONFIDENT OF WHAT YOU ARE PRESENTING
28. 3 PRESENT IT LIKE A PRO
If this presentation helped you in any way,
drop me an email or send me a tweet letting me know about it!
All the best
