How to prepare a presentation in 10 minutes – some (fairly generic) suggestions

• Structure (write down points in brief)
  • Intro – punchy statement(s) about why this topic matters, and matters to you.
  • Main points – usually 3
  • Summary – this is what they’ll remember most (recency)
• Use one diagram/picture/graph phrase if you can. Maximum of 3.
• Keep an eye on time – ideally a clock in the room rather than your watch
• It does not have to be comprehensive. Covering the whole topic is clearly impossible and wrong. Focus on one story/patient/incident which illustrates the one or some of the key features of the topic. 
• If you’re worried about your hands put them behind your back.
• If you know your audience try and include their specialty/location/pet in the talk.
• Prior to the day, practice, even if just to the mirror/phone. Read ‘Talk like TED” and watch some TED talks. Speak to colleague whose talks you find outstanding.
