5 Tips for successful presentations

1 Always be prepared and know your stuff

2 Stop telling yourself internally that it won't go well. If you continue to do this you will always get the same result

3 Create positive internal dialogue. Example: This will be good, I will really enjoy presenting something I know about


4 Practice in your mind as if you were really doing the presentation. That way your unconscious mind thinks you really are doing it


5 Just before the presentation, or maybe even the day before, think of a time when things went well for you. Besides thinking of it, make a bright picture of that time and make sure you are not just looking at it, but actually in the picture. Now hear your voice sounding confident. Add a positive word to this picture, and imagine you are shouting it out loud. Then when you come to present, think of the word and let the picture and the feeling flood back into your awareness
