Presentation in front of important dignitaries and key opinion leaders can always be daunting, However always remember you are the best person for the job and that’s why you are there giving the presentation and not anyone else. There are few things you can do before going for the presentation: prepare it by yourself and visualise and feel how great you are going to sound while giving the presentation, get thorough with the concept and don’t try to memorise anything, you are there to tell the message and not all the context which is written on the slide, understand the difference and be specific and at last it’s the story that sells and not just information make sure you convey your goals Gracefully.

Do it before a mock audience. An imaginary one while anticipating questions that may be asked from you. Keep your speed at medium pace when delivering the presentaion so as to give you mental notes and self preparation to proceed to the next slide.
