Making a Presentation
I don’t normally get Stage fright, but the thought of getting up in front of my colleagues to give a presentation always Gives me butterflies. But I have no choice; my boss asked me to do it, so I will.
I set up my Projector and PowerPoint program on my laptop. Clearing my voice, I stood up and addressed the 10 people Present at the meeting. I started off by saying, “Good afternoon. I want to thank you for inviting me to talk to you today.” I had a Clicker in my hand to Advance the Slides. “Today I’m going to talk to you about our new product, Provasic. Please feel free to Ask questions as we go along,” I said. I then Flipped through the slides showing pictures of our product, and concluded by summarizing the Main points of my talk with Bullet points.
I finished by saying, “Thank you for your attention Today. My Contact information Is on your Handout.” Whew! I was glad that was over!
