How to split the job?
Huge Thing – Presentation Zen
Let me remind you: are not professional showmen.
Content is above the show!
Huge Thing – Presentation Zen
Content
Just work on your project Think of what matters to your listeners Tell about your idea somebody who listens to it for
the first time
Huge Thing – Presentation Zen
The most difficult part: adjust the scope of content to the time you were given.

How to give a speech
If you love your project just be honest Do not overintelectualize it?

Keep an eye contact, „force” accpetation of your viewers.
Huge Thing – Presentation Zen
Ask question, interact with your viewers.
