Cleaned transcript (lightly edited)

My top tip for transforming presentations is preparation. It sounds a bit clichéd, but you can’t skip it. Preparation gives you the energy and authenticity that make a real difference. You don’t get that without putting in the work.

Another top tip is to start well and end well. It’s rare to hear a presentation where the core message is at the front and repeated at the end. If you do that, people are far more likely to remember what you’ve said.

The third top tip is to focus on the audience. What matters to them? What excites them? What interests or frightens them? If you build your presentation around those things, you’ll deliver an audience-centred message that gets the results you want.
