The ability to present well is an important part of business and professional communications. When preparing for a presentation, you will want to create an outline or script of your presentation. This ensures your presentation will flow logically and provide you with notes of what to emphasize in your presentation.
For this discussion, imagine that you are preparing to give a professional presentation at an organization you have been with for about three months.
In your initial discussion post discuss the following in at least 250 words or more:
Why is it important to have an outline or script when presenting?
What are some things to avoid when giving a presentation?
How will you ensure you are coming across as authentic?
How might you change the way you present if you were in a leadership or midlevel position at your organization?
