Notes:

This article gives tips on how to prepare for a presentation to senior management. The simple "takeaways" from the article are:

  • Developing the pitch;
  • The icebreaker;
  • First tell the audience what you’re going to tell them, then tell them, then tell them what you told them;
  • Don’t read what’s on the slide;
  • Engage the audience;
  • Be accessible;
  • Pause for effect and emphasis;
  • Make eye contact;
  • Use hand gestures;
  • Don’t block the audience’s view;

See the article for more detail. This article is well worth reading despite it's short length.
