A 10 minute presentation...AS subject matter.

Identify your audience - try do make whatever you present relatable.

'Old cars your mum and dad had etc..."

Use pictures on a PowerPoint even with some bullet points - but don't read from the PowerPoint.

Keep it light - a couple of judicious jokes can work - be careful.

Talk from experience- use the "I think" people are interested in a point of view.

Photocopy the presentation in case the tech fails.

Keep exactly to time.

Give the talk a few dry runs...maybe record it then you can edit where it flags.

If you get time chill for an hour beforehand - don't just turn up.

Use keyword written prompts/notes to keep your talk flowing. 

Don't read a speech.

Keep the visuals interesting - the bored can doze off.

Avoid this: 

I've done quite a lot of talking in public - 800 was the most at a venue. It's fun. You'll be fine. 

Also remember to finish with  'Simply The Best'

Or just dance it.. no words.

I love shit old cars, despite that if someone rocked up to an interview and did a presentation on them I'd probably file their CV in the cylindrical cabinet.

I wonder if Trump has ever seen the vid for that from the late 70s. Or understands what it's about.

There's bound to be shouts of 'more, more' so for an encore you could have up your sleeve 'the use of Landcrab and Sherpa doors throughout the world's motor industries'

Tell me more!

Funnily enough, I'm not going to do that.
