Practice makes Perfect

Rehearse, Rehearse and Rehearse. You should always make an effort to practice your presentation prior to giving the presentation. The more important the presentation the more you should practice. The reason why Steve Jobs' legendary presentations looks so effortless and un-rehearsed is because he spends a LOT of time preparing and practicing before major keynotes like the launch of the iPhone or iPad. Very often people in Malaysia, think they can just talk through their slides without doing at least a single dry run. If Steve Jobs needs to practice and he is considered among the best in the business, what makes you think you can get away with no preparation? The more you practice the more confident you become and the audience will recognise this. You will come across as more confident and convincing. You often get only one chance with the boss, the customer or even the Board, so do not waste that chance. It could change your life!
