Presentation Tips by Darren Fleming

The most important aspect to keep in mind when preparing is to have fun. If you’re not having fun why do it? If you’re not having fun, the students will pick it, the staff will pick it and you will not want to come back.

The host who tried to make a joke with the Dalai Lama

Many speakers think that it is a good idea to open their presentations with a joke. The theory is that it introduces humour and put the audience at ease, and thus builds trust.

Darren Fleming takes us through how to avoid making a fool of ourselves in presentations!
