Presentation Checklist
This lesson focuses on everything you need to physically and logistically pull off your presentation smoothly. Think of it like your pre-show tech + setup rundown — the stuff that seems small but makes all the difference on stage.
We’re covering details most people don’t think of until it’s too late — so you don’t have to learn the hard way.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
- This checklist is all about your actual presentation delivery — what you need, what to ask, and what to prep.
- Confirm:
- Will you be sitting or standing?
- What kind of microphone is being used (lapel, handheld, headset)?
- Will there be a clicker or someone advancing slides for you?
- Is there a confidence monitor (so you don’t have to turn around to read slides)?
- Where is your water, notes, and laptop going?
- Practice your flow with all the elements — mic, slides, clicker, body movement — so it feels natural.
- Create backup plans for tech: have your slides printed, emailed to the host, and stored on a USB if needed.
📝 Workbook Prompt (pages 54-56):
Use the presentation checklist before your next event and ask:
- Have I physically walked through my setup?
- Do I know how everything works?
- Have I done a practice run in full presentation mode?
This checklist = less stress, fewer surprises, more stage magic.
