visual presentation. Each member of the team must prepare and deliver a portion of the

Steps / Suggestions
- Plan your presentation carefully. Make sure to deliver your analyses and ideas for
improvement. - Design your presentation to be compelling. Why should people care about this
problem? What is interesting about this intervention? - Make your slides in order to reinforce and be additive to your argument. DO NOT
have a bunch of text that is the same as what you are saying. Eliminate extraneous
noise. - Practice your presentation several times. Memorize your outline structure. Don’t rely
on a word-for-word script. - Practice your voice tone, volume and speed.
- Practice confident and comfortable body language and eye contact with your
audience. Try practicing in the mirror.
