You're pressed for time to wrap up your presentation. How can you ensure the conclusion maintains quality?

This is how I have been handling this situation 1. Use an image or a simple graphic that encapsulates your main points. 2. Pose a question that challenges the audience to think deeply about the topic. 3. End with a surprising or impactful statistic that underscores the importance of your presentation.

My style of presentation is to start with a compelling question which is also the essence of the whole presentation to my audience and keep the audience engaged and focused around that question.

Nearing the end of a presentation and knowing that you are not going to be able to give every point that you had planned can get you flustered. Remember to make pauses, take a deep breath, and pull out the most important points that are remaining. This is the time to not only bring your mental focus back, but to focus on what is most important in the conclusion of your presentation.

N?o pode ter pressa. O que deveria ter feito é reagendar ou colocar outra pessoa para apresentar. Tudo que é feito com acelera??o deixa a desejar, foge da excelencia.

When pressed for time to finish a presentation, it's essential to focus on reiterating key points to maintain quality. Rather than introducing new information, a recap of the most important takeaways ensures the audience leaves with a clear understanding of the message. This approach keeps the conclusion impactful and memorable, without overwhelming listeners. Clarity over quantity is crucial for leaving a lasting impression. ???

A big key to a successful presentation is to frame it correctly. You only need about 3 high level points. You can dive deep into various topics, but always keep it simple at the top level by only focusing on 2-3 key points that you can reiterate and summarize easily for your audience. You presentation needs to be RE-TELLABLE... keeping it simple is key.

Storytelling & Personalization: This is the best way to present your case. Give your presentation a lead character and let the character speak. With this, we attract the attention of the room and convey the message effectively. This approach also works like a theatre show where the audience can give feedback but can't change the screenplay. This helps a lot to complete your presentation in the stipulated time and gives enough room for Q&A when you are done.

When pressed for time, I prioritize what cant go without being said, and that's typically the asks. So I typically offer for the detailed deck to be shared over email and jump straight in with the CTA. I recap whatever I have already said + jist of what was left unsaid in a few sentences to set context and then move on to the CTAs, their responsibility areas and the timelines associated with them.

A Call to Action (CTA) is a vital part of any presentation that ensuring your message doesn't just end but leads to a tangible next step. 1. Clarity: Be explicit about what you want your audience to do—whether it's adopting a new strategy, reaching out for more information, or considering a partnership. 2. Urgency: Adding a sense of timeliness can motivate immediate action, such as "Contact us this week for a special offer." 3. Relevance: Ensure the action is directly tied to your presentation's content and the audience’s needs, increasing the likelihood of follow-through. 4. Engagement: Personalize the CTA to resonate with your audience, whether it's asking a question, requesting feedback, or encouraging further conversation.

Preparing well goes far in those last few minutes of crunch time. You should know which points of the presentation can be skipped due to time constraints. Mark those mentally or physically. What main points must be made? What is the concluding thought that you are going to be sure to make? Time may run out, but practicing and preparing before the presentation will make sure your presentation ends in a positive fashion.
